In any organization it is important that all employees work together for the good of the whole so that the rights and interests of both the organization and the employees are assured.

This is particularly so at Juilliard where we strive to provide the highest quality education in the performing arts. The importance of this matter means that the School may take disciplinary action (up to and including discharge) against any staff member for failing to adhere to recognized standards of behavior. Such failure has already been noted elsewhere in this Handbook under sections dealing with attendance, sexual harassment, and a drug-free workplace. Additional examples of unacceptable behavior at Juilliard include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Falsification of employment application or other School records and forms.
2. Unauthorized possession, use or copying of School records or disclosure of information contained in such records to unauthorized persons.
3. Possession of firearms or other types of weapons while on School premises.
4. Creating or contributing to unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
5. Theft or misappropriation of property belonging to the School, to a student, or to another School employee.
6. Failing or refusing to perform satisfactorily the duties and responsibilities of the job or related duties as assigned, including making or receiving excessive personal calls during working hours or at any time on a School telephone.
