Honesty is fundamental to the profession and practice of management.
It is therefore the bedrock premise of management education at Yale.
To the community of students, faculty, and staff of the Yale School
of Management honesty and integrity build the trust essential to
a free and lively exchange of ideas.
The Yale SOM Honor Code is intended to foster the school’s exceptional
learning environment and to support conduct that will distinguish
the faculty, staff and students in their lives as managers, at school,
at school-related functions, and in the larger management community.
The Honor Code will be referred to as the “Code”, below.
The Honor Committee has jurisdiction over all Code violations including
matters of academic dishonesty and egregious violations of the social
and professional norms of behavior.
The SOM community, including faculty, staff and students, supports
the highest standards of academic integrity. All academic work affords
an unparalleled opportunity to put forward new and innovative ideas;
at SOM we aspire to always acknowledge the ideas upon which new
solutions are based.
When working on an assignment with a team, students
must clarify the expectations for each member of the team.
Faculty will provide clear guidelines for students on the parameters
of any group work, as well as guidelines for proper citation.
A student will contact the professor for clarification if there
is a question about the way in which the group work is to be completed.
Students are encouraged to consult print resources, such as Sources,
as well as online resources concerning proper citation.
A hallmark of the SOM community is its inclusive nature, which respects
the diverse backgrounds and views of its members. SOM faculty, students,
and alumni aspire to standards of conduct while at Yale, and as
they function in the larger management community, that will further
distinguish SOM as a center of integrity and fair dealing.
Students must uphold, among themselves, the highest standards of
professional behavior.
Students must strictly adhere to ethical guidelines during the job
search – with interviewers, prospective employers, and their student
colleagues.
Students must remember that they represent the school as they take
part in activities in the University, New Haven, and the larger
management community.
Standards of individual responsibility in the job search, and in
the use of school and university information technology resources,
are detailed in separate chapters of the SOM Bulletin.
The SOM Honor Committee is responsible for collecting facts
pertaining to possible infractions of the Code, making judgments
about them, and determining penalties, where appropriate. The committee
is appointed by the Dean and consists of a faculty Chair, two additional
faculty members and three students from each class, two of whom
serve as alternates. The Director of Student and Academic Services
serves as secretary of the committee and is non-voting.
Suspected cases of cheating or other violations of Code standards
should be reported to the chair of the SOM Honor Committee or to
the Dean of Students. “Policies and Procedures of the Honor Committee”
are included as an appendix to the SOM Bulletin. A list of the members
of the Honor Committee may be obtained from the Office of Student
and Academic Services.

Yale is committed to providing an atmosphere that is free of discrimination
and sexual harassment. The Grievance Committee deals with complaints
of discrimination by a student against a member of the faculty or
administration on such bases as race, sex, religion, national or
