Since 2011, the Ethics Working Group has worked to formulate a comprehensive professional conduct policy for ASOR. An extensive process of consultation has included two open invitations for feedback from the ASOR membership as well as conversations with committees, constituent groups, and many individual members. An ethics session drew many participants at the 2013 Annual Meeting, and a dedicated, open discussion session was well-attended at the 2014 Annual Meeting in San Diego. The conversation has been robust and healthy, and the Working Group has incorporated all of this input in order to develop this final draft. The ASOR Board of Trustees will vote on this draft at its Spring meeting on April 18, 2015, and the draft is being shared with the ASOR membership several months in advance of that vote.
If you have comments on this final draft, please send them to Lynn Swartz Dodd (Chair of the Ethics Working Group) and Susan Ackerman (ASOR President)
