Code of Conduct
INCLUSIVENESS
UCDA strives to be an inclusive organization, as we value the multitude of different voices, opinions, experiences, and identities of our members and members of the greater design community.
We respect, honor, and welcome participation and involvement of all members, inclusive of all aspects of individual and group identity and experience. Our commitment is woven into our decisions, programs, and actions.
CODE OF CONDUCT
All UCDA attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers at any of our programs (conference, summits, workshops, etc.) are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the events. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
CONDENSED VERSION
UCDA programs are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or any other personal identity. We do not tolerate harassment of program participants in any form. Program participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.
FULL VERSION
Harassment consists of unwanted, unwelcome, or uninvited behavior that demeans, threatens, or offends another, and includes offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or other identity; deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate or unwanted physical contact; or unwelcome sexual attention.
Any attendee, speaker, sponsor, or volunteer asked to stop any harassing behavior is expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the program with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of UCDA staff or board immediately.
We expect participants to follow these rules at program venues and program-related social events.
