Public Affairs Policies and Procedures

Public Affairs is guided by Earlham's Mission Statement . It is our charge to demonstrate the accomplishment of the institution's mission as we create messages that share the Earlham story. As members of the Earlham community, we are also guided by the Principles and Practices of the Earlham Community . The Faculty Handbook informs us on personnel procedures and policies.

Academic Integrity

The College's policy on academic integrity is at the foundation of our work in Public Affairs. Our staff members are committed to honest reporting about Earlham; we aim at balancing positive perceptions of the College with truth telling in the messages we create for publications, media distribution and the website. We aspire to be known for honest reporting by reporters and outside agencies while modeling best practices for our student assistants.

We respect intellectual property rights and seek permission when reprinting the work or words of others or when posting materials at the website. We involve individuals being quoted in reviewing our rendition of their words. We honor legal expectations related to the purchase of computer software and music. In turn, we expect that Earlham's messages will be properly cited by outside agencies and work with those organizations to resolve and correct problems.
