<section title="Code of Conduct" anchor="title">
</section>
<section title="Purpose" anchor="purpose">
<p>
One of the primary goals of the Computer Science Club of the University
of Waterloo is the inclusion and support of all members of the University
of Waterloo community who are interested in Computer Science. As such, we
are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof).
</p>
<p>
We invite all those who participate in our events and who communicate with
our community at large to help us create a safe and positive experience for
everyone involved.
</p>
<p>
We've outlined a code of conduct to highlight our expectations for all
individuals who participate in our community, as well as the steps to
handle unacceptable behavior.
</p>
</section>
<section title="Expected Behavior" anchor="expected-behavior">
<ul>
<li>
Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute
to the health and longevity of this community.
</li>
<li>
Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.
</li>
<li>
Attempt collaboration before conflict.
</li>
<li>
Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
</li>
<li>
Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of
this Code of Conduct, <a href="../about/">contact the executive</a>. No
situation is considered inconsequential. If you do not feel comfortable
contacting the executive at large due to the nature of the incident,
you may contact the <a href="../about/exec#advisor">Faculty Advisor</a>.
</p>
</section>
<section title="Unacceptable Behavior" anchor="unacceptable">
<p>
<strong>Unacceptable behaviors include</strong>: intimidating,
harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning
speech or actions by any participant in our community online, at all
related events and in one-on-one communications carried out in the
context of community business. Community event venues may be shared;
please be respectful to all patrons of these locations.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Harassment includes</strong>: harmful or prejudicial verbal or
written comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion,
disability; inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public
spaces (including presentation slides); deliberate intimidation, stalking
or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of
talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome
sexual attention.
</p>
</section>
<section title="Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior" anchor="consequences">
<p>
Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and
those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
</p>
<p>
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply
immediately.
</p>
<p>
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community
organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including
a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning
(and without refund in the case of a paid event).
</p>
</section>
<section title="Experiencing Unacceptable Behavior" anchor="experiencing">
<p>
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any
other concerns, please notify an organizer or titled member as soon as
possible.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, community organizers are available to help community
members engage with local law enforcement or to otherwise help those
experiencing unacceptable behavior feel safe. In the context of
in-person events, organizers will also provide escorts as desired by
the person experiencing distress.
</p>
</section>
<section title="Addressing Grievances" anchor="grievances">
<p>
If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating
this Code of Conduct, you should contact the Computer Science Club
<a href="../about/exec#advisor">Faculty Advisor</a>, with a concise
description of your grievance.
</p>
