PRINCIPLES OF CONDUCT FROM THE BOARDROOM TO THE CLASSROOM

THE PAFA PLEDGE The members of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) community are bound together by our deep belief in fostering a healthy culture and climate for the pursuit of fine arts education and broadening the scope of arts in society. We strive to create a work and learning environment in which all persons are treated with dignity and respect and can thrive. Such an environment is central to our wellbeing and helps to bring out the full potential in each of us, which, in turn, benefits our community.

Principles of Conduct

A LETTER FROM DR. LISA BIAGAS

Since 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts was founded by painter and scientist Charles Willson Peale, sculptor William Rush, and other artists and business leaders. In its original Charter, PAFA was formed to “Promote the cultivation of the Fine Arts in the United States of America, by [...] exciting the efforts of artists, gradually to unfold, enlight, and invigorate the talents of our Countrymen.” While PAFA remains strong in tradition and rich in history, we understand that the world is changing rapidly and that we must change along with it. In our efforts to continue Mr. Peale’s vision, we have renewed our commitment to the community that we have created and the one that we reside in by pledging to make PAFA a place where all persons receive the education, support, and opportunity that they deserve. Our students, faculty, and community of artists make PAFA what it is — and our mission grows with them every day, as we strive to find even more ways to support and uplift our community. We believe wholeheartedly that diversity makes us stronger, and that our differences should not merely be tolerated or accepted, but valued and embraced.

PAFA PRINCIPLES OF CONDUCT

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not simply words to us; they are part of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts’ core values. It is critical to our success in both business and education, and we boldly embrace the lives, histories, and divergence of our community members. While we are not perfect and will continue to grow, in this transformative time, we are reaffirming our commitment to the community, and encourage everyone to do the same.

PRINCIPLES & ETHICS

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF CONDUCT? Our policies are designed to enhance the PAFA community's safety and advance our mission by defining and establishing certain principles of conduct which we expect of the members of our community. Behavior inconsistent with these principles — which reflect our commitment to a safe, diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment — would contradict our Core Values and would subject individuals to action by PAFA, including the actions described below.

APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF CONDUCT We expect that all members of the PAFA community behave with our values in mind at all times. Kindness, empathy, and understanding must be at the core of our every interaction, both inside and outside the community. Those who violate our Principles of Conduct may be subject to investigation and disciplinary action. Willie Birch, A Farewell Feast, Gouache on paper with paper-mâché frame, 1988

1.1 CODE OF ETHICS The collections, facilities, and assets of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) are held in the public trust and for the public’s benefit. PAFA’s activities are guided by its mission:

We...

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is a national leader in fine arts education that brings together artists and the public through exceptional teaching programs, a worldclass collection of American art, major exhibitions, and widely accessible public programs. All members of the PAFA community— Trustees, Governors, Employees, and Volunteers — will strive faithfully to fulfill this mission. Where actual or perceived conflicts arise, Trustees, Governors, Employees and Volunteers alike shall act to serve the best interests of PAFA and the public it serves rather than seek personal gain. All conflicts or interest, real or perceived, shall be disclosed by Trustees to the Chair of the Board of Trustees, and by Employees and Volunteers to the President.

"Demonstrate integrity by complying with proper financial management principles, and declaring and avoiding potential conflicts of interest.” - Jaewook Shim, Director of Finance and Operations

6 To ensure that PAFA maintains the highest legal and ethical standards, Trustees, Governors, Employees, and Volunteers are encouraged to report real or perceived lapses in those standards to the President or Chair of the Board of Trustees. In the event that those in positions of authority are perceived to be engaged in illegal or unethical practices, Trustees, Governors, Employees, and Volunteers should report such lapses to the appropriate legal or accrediting authorities. PAFA shall strive to serve the broadest possible constituents, regardless of their economic, social, religious, ethnic, or different backgrounds. Employees and Volunteers shall work to create a working and public environment in which diverse audience members are afforded opportunities for fine arts education.

PAFA shall maintain the highest standards of public accountability and transparency and shall comply with its Charter and Bylaws, as well as the professional standards of the American Association of Museums, the Association of Art Museum Directors, Middle States, and other accrediting and professional bodies of its Museum and College of Fine Arts. It shall also comply with all applicable local, state, and national laws. PAFA The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

GOVERNANCE AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY Responsibility for PAFA’s governance ultimately rests with its Board of Trustees. The Board has fiduciary responsibility for the Museum and its various assets and programs, including collections, and for the College and its educational offerings and programs, faculty and students, and for the facilities, financial assets, staff and intangibles such as its reputation and brand of the Museum and College. The Board bears the responsibility of adopting and overseeing PAFA’s strategic plans, policies, and procedures that ensure that its mission to be a leader in fine arts education is carried out and fulfilled by its Museum and College. At all times, PAFA’s Board of Trustees and the College’s Board of Governors shall act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary and ethical responsibilities as outlined in this Code of Ethics. The PAFA’s Board of Trustees and the College’s Board of Governors shall maintain a relationship with Staff and other Volunteers in which shared roles are recognized and separate responsibilities respected. In all their policies, procedures, and actions, Board members shall seek to advance PAFA’s mission and not seek personal gain. Trustees and Governors are encouraged to support other non-profit organizations. While such affiliations are anticipated to lead to partnerships and collaborations, PAFA’s interests should never be compromised in seeking such opportunities.

Trustees nor Governors may accept gifts, except for insubstantial tokens, in the course of their service to PAFA that create conflicts or perceived conflicts.

Principles of Conduct

HOW TO REPORT A VIOLATION In our ongoing effort to ensure excellence in all activities, PAFA has instituted an online reporting system as an additional method to our Ethics Hotline for reporting violations of policy, compliance concerns, or misconduct. PAFA is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in all aspects of our learning, living, and working environment and to conducting our affairs in full compliance with the law and its own policies and procedures. Such adherence strengthens and promotes respectful and fair practices and treatment of all members of the PAFA community. PAFA has established policies and procedures for addressing concerns of our community and encourages its faculty, staff, and students to use these avenues to resolve their concerns whenever possible. If you have information about behavior which may violate a law, a PAFA policy, or an ethical standard, you are urged to come forward and report your concern(s) to your manager, Dean, or Vice President. We recognize, however, that situations may arise when a student or member of our faculty or staff may be reluctant to report what they saw or know out of fear of reprisal or retaliation. In those instances, PAFA has selected EthicsPoint, an external thirdparty to provide assistance to you. Through this system, allegations can be reported 24 hours a day, seven days a week in a confidential setting without fear of reprisal by either dialing (844) 796-6532 or by visiting the website, http://pafa.ethicspoint.com/.

How To Make A Report You have two options for filing reports. Online: Visit the website listed to the left, fill and submit the form. Telephone: You are greeted by a trained interviewer who documents your concerns. You don’t have to give your name, and the call or transaction is not recorded.

Using the report number, you may call or email to follow up or add more information. Reporting through either method is anonymous. Although no identifying information is shared, ongoing dialogue is nonetheless possible.

Principles of Conduct

1.3 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY NON-DISCRIMINATION PAFA is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in employment. PAFA does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, familial status, or any other characteristic or circumstance protected by law.

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we must comply with federal government record-keeping and reporting requirements. As such, PAFA periodically reports statistical information about Employees by job category, race, ethnicity, and sex. To collect this information, Employees complete a voluntary self-identification form. This form is kept confidential and used solely for analytical and reporting requirement purposes. This form is processed and maintained separately from an Employee’s personnel file.

This policy covers all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and terms, conditions and privileges of employment. If you have questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace, you are encouraged to bring the issue to the attention of the Senior Vice President of Human Resources or the President. Or, if for any reason you believe it inappropriate to bring it to either of them, you can bring your concern to the Chair of the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Trustees. No adverse employment action will be taken for concerns or reports made in good faith. Further, anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment.

PAFA does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, or gender identity in any of its programs or activities.

Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct (i.e., Sexual Assault; Sexual Exploitation, Non-Title IX Sexual Harassment; Gender-Based Harassment; Sex and/or Gender-Based Stalking; Dating Violence; Domestic Violence; and Sex- and Gender-Based Discrimination); 2.

Intimidation; and 4. Retaliation. PAFA The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

The PAFA adopts this Policy with a commitment to: (1) deter, eliminate, and address the effects of Prohibited Conduct; (2) foster an environment where all individuals are well-informed and supported in reporting Prohibited Conduct; and (3) provide a prompt, fair, and impartial process pursuant to which alleged violations of this Policy will be evaluated. This Policy is intended to meet PAFA’s obligations under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX); the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (“Clery Act”), as amended by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA), with respect to its application to sex and genderbased misconduct; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) with respect to its application to sex and gender-based misconduct; and other related and applicable law, including Pennsylvania’s Act 16 of 2019.

1.6 GUIDANCE ON POLITICAL, CAMPAIGN AND LOBBYING ACTIVITY PAFA is committed to the expression and discussion of ideas and opinions and encourages members of the PAFA community to be informed, actively engaged citizens. PAFA, the institution, is a non-profit entity whose activities are regulated by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes restrictions on its support of candidates and how it engages in lobbying activities, which includes limits on the use of PAFA resources. These restrictions necessarily require some definition, described below, of activity by PAFA faculty, staff, and students that could be inconsistent with those restrictions and thus put PAFA at risk of losing its non-profit status.

This Guidance has been prepared to provide a quick reference regarding who has authority to speak on behalf of PAFA, the institution, and to note the needed restrictions, if any, on faculty, staff, students and others affiliated to ensure that their activities may not be construed as PAFA, the institution, engaging in political activity that could adversely affect the institution.

In conjunction with this Guidance, there are several PAFA policies that should be reviewed, including but not limited to: Code of Ethics Social Media Solicitation and Distribution External Communication and Press Electronic Communications Systems and Internet Usage Academic Freedom

Principles of Conduct

18 INSTITUTIONAL POSITIONS Formal statements expressing the position of PAFA as an institution can be taken by the Board Chair and the President and CEO only. Faculty, staff, students, and others affiliated with PAFA are not authorized to take institutional positions on public policy or societal issues. Faculty, staff, (collectively “Employees”), students, and others affiliated with PAFA should take care to clarify when there could be confusion on the point, by noting that any statements they make are not on behalf of the institution. Senior staff, as officers of PAFA, when making public statements should clarify that they are not speaking for the institution. Employees and students are free to participate in activities to express themselves on political, social issues and concerns, such as at campaign events, editorials, blogs, petitions, and other public media. They should be particularly careful that it is understood they are speaking and acting as individuals and that they are not acting on behalf of PAFA, the institution.

PAFA The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

USE OF PAFA RESOURCES To comply with applicable law and regulations, PAFA services, resources, or funds cannot be used to engage in unapproved lobbying activities or to suggest in any way PAFA’s endorsement or support of a political candidate, political party, or political action committee. No employees, students, or groups of the foregoing may use PAFA’s name, letterhead, logo, email, or seal to solicit funds for or otherwise support or oppose any such campaign or cause or engage with a political action committee or engage in communications with respect to public policy or societal issues and concerns. In addition, consistent with PAFA’s policy for the use of its email system—which limits its use to work matters only—Employees should not use PAFA email accounts or PAFA stationery to distribute political communications, campaign messages, statements or petitions with respect to public policy or societal issues and concerns, and similar material.

Principles of Conduct

19 RUNNING FOR POLITICAL OFFICE Those Employees and students seeking public office are strongly encouraged to meet with Human Resources to determine the appropriate use of PAFA property and resources. PAFA’s name may not be mentioned in the solicitation of contributions or other commitments, other than to identify PAFA as the Employee’s place of employment or the student’s place of study. To avoid conflicts of interest, when teaching a PAFA course or otherwise employed at PAFA while seeking an elective office, Employees may not request or solicit campaign assistance, participation, or fundraising from students attending the College, student workers or interns.

VOTER REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION The PAFA community is encouraged to be active and informed participants in the electoral process. Non-partisan voter education activities, including public forums and voter registration, are permitted at PAFA. Careful attention must be paid to ensure that these kinds of activities remain non-partisan in order to comply with the government guidelines for non-profit organizations.

INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP SUPPORT OF CANDIDATES, PARTIES, OR PETITIONS Those Employees and students seeking public office are strongly encouraged to meet with Human Resources to determine the appropriate use of PAFA property and resources. PAFA’s name may not be mentioned in the solicitation of contributions or other commitments, other than to identify PAFA as the Employee’s place of employment or the student’s place of study. To avoid conflicts of interest, when teaching a PAFA course or otherwise employed at PAFA while seeking an elective office, Employees may not request or solicit campaign assistance, participation, or fundraising from students attending the College, student workers or interns.

1.7 VIOLENCE-FREE CAMPUS The safety and security of the campus community is of primary importance at PAFA. Threats, threatening and abusive behavior, or acts of violence against Trustees, Governors, Employees, Volunteers, Students, Visitors, or other individuals by anyone on PAFA property or at PAFA functions will not be tolerated. Violations of this policy will lead to corrective action up to, and including, termination and/or referral to appropriate law enforcement agencies for arrest and prosecution. PAFA reserves the right to take any necessary legal action to protect its Employees.

Any person who makes threats, exhibits threatening behavior, or engages in violent acts on PAFA’s premises shall be removed from the premises as quickly as safety permits and shall remain off PAFA premises pending the outcome of an investigation. Following investigation, PAFA will initiate an immediate and appropriate response. This response may include, but is not limited to, suspension and/or termination of any business relationship, reassignment of job duties, suspension or termination of employment, and/or criminal prosecution of the person or persons involved.

Principles of Conduct

22 1.8 ACADEMIC FREEDOM PAFA is committed to the principles of artistic expression and academic freedom. Inquiry, debate, free expression of ideas, and tolerance of differing viewpoints are essential to providing a teaching and learning environment that promotes artistic excellence and intellectual honesty. PAFA faculty and curators are entitled to freedom in their research and artistic practice, and in sharing their work through such venues as publications, exhibitions, and lectures. In the classroom and on campus, faculty and curators, when serving as faculty, are given wide latitude in the content and method of their teaching. In exercising this right, faculty must adhere to PAFA’s institutional policies, the commitments outlined in its syllabi statements. PAFA instructors are citizens, artists, scholars, and representatives of PAFA. When they speak, write, or exhibit work in public, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their position in the PAFA community comes with added obligations. Faculty “should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.”

PAFA The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

1.9 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Academic freedom and the creative process depend on the shared commitment to integrity - using one’s own and original ideas honestly in creating academic work, both in and out of the studio, and the transparent acknowledgment of others' contributions and influences. Learning from other artists, scholars, and students is essential to the process of education. Essential to that critical exchange and deep engagement with ideas and processes, is the responsibility of basic honesty in one’s work, words, and actions. Avoid plagiarism or the appearance of plagiarism, by providing attributions in the form of citations when using the works created by others. Maintaining a climate of academic integrity and intellectual trust requires all members of our creative learning community to uphold these principles.

Melanie Delach, "The gap between me and myself" 2019, Mixed media on panel

In art, notions of originality and authorship, and the histories and conventions that guide the use and reference of work by other artists are complex and multi-layered. Given this complexity of traditions and practices, faculty members may define what constitutes academic misconduct as it relates to the context of a particular studio course.

This policy applies to all Employees and to all verbal and written solicitation or distribution activities on PAFA property including any property under the control of PAFA. “Solicitation” by one person to another or “distribution” of nonPAFA approved literature or materials is prohibited if it is in a “work area”, if involved Employees are on “working time,” or if it interrupts others who are working.
