On September 24, the School of Economics and Management at the University of Science and Technology Beijing held its opening faculty meeting for the fall semester, with a focus on faculty professional ethics and campus safety.
The session, led by the school's Party Secretary, reviewed the university's Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers and examined recently publicized misconduct cases from other institutions.
Sen Wu, Party Secretary of the school, led the study session in Room 313 of the SEM Building. All faculty members of the School and the Institute of Mineral Resources were in attendance.
Wu led a thorough review of the USTB Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers, with emphasis on the conduct negative list. She urged faculty to use the list as a clear boundary in teaching, research, and student interactions.
Drawing on several publicized cases at Chinese universities, Wu analyzed how misconduct harms students, derails faculty careers, and erodes public trust. “We must take these cases as a warning and firmly hold the bottom line of teacher ethics in mind,” Wu said.
On safety and stability, Wu asked faculty to resist erroneous trends of thought, implement grid-based risk management, and raise awareness of telecom and online fraud among students. The school said it would turn the session's commitments into concrete actions for the new semester.
