The product of this Values Summit defines the aspirational ideals of what we mean by collegiality, and serve as the prevailing code of conduct for all faculty, staff, and students. Collectively, they define our RaiderVet Culture. Our Core Values should be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with all federal and state laws and regulations, Regents’ Rules, and TTU System and TTU policies.

DATE OF POLICY: 20JAN2025.
