FADE UP: HISTORIC PIX

HISTORIC PIX
The University of Minnesota is a Land Grant Institution, which means the University was founded with land, granted to it by the Federal Government, to be used for the benefit of its citizens.
As old as the University itself IS the University's Mission...that mission is why we exist. It's the greatest source of our pride:
???

MISSION SUPERIMPOSED
Woman's voice:
"The University of Minnesota, founded in a belief that ALL people are enriched by understanding, is dedicated to the advancement of learning and community; and to the application of this knowledge to benefit the people of the state, the nation, and the world."
???

CU: REGENT'S SEAL
Narrator (voice over):
The U of M Regents, that citizens' board that oversees operations of the University, divides the mission into three parts.


STUDENT VIDEO, SUPERIMPOSE: "LEARNING & TEACHING
The first part of the mission is to share knowledge, understanding and creativity. The Regents call this part "Learning and Teaching."


RESEARCH VIDEO, SUPERIMPOSE "RESEARCH & DISCOVERY"
The second part is labeled "Research and Discovery." You'll often hear us described as one of America's top research universities, and that's right. You've already heard about some of what our scientists and researchers have discovered, and we are continuing to discover and develop new things everyday.


OUTREACH VIDEO, SUPERIMPOSE: OUTREACH & PUBLIC SERVICE"
And the third and final part of the University's mission is termed "Outreach and Public Service." In other words, applying our knowledge to real life problems, and sharing the information discovered with the rest of the state, the nation, and the world.


CAMPUS FOOTAGE
From this Mission comes a shared vision for the future – to remain a world-class university. Based upon excellence, our innovation, and integrity, that vision is not only possible but sustainable as well.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT STILL
As is clear from our mission and the Presidents' vision, we have high expectations for each one of us, and those expectations are rooted in our core values and traditions of ethical behavior.
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

???
No matter what our duties, we are all expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards of professional conduct and integrity.


CU: CODE OF CONDUCT BOOK
Indeed, we have created a very important document to reflect these values...it's called the Code of Conduct...a document, whose standards we must all follow. The values outlined in the Code are values we hold among ourselves to be essential guides to behavior.


WORDS APPEAR OVER BOOK:
"HONESTY"
"TRUSTWORTHINESS"
"RESPECT AND FAIRNESS"
"SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY"
"LOYALTY TO PRINCIPLES"
They include:
Honesty;
Trustworthiness;
Respect and fairness in dealing with others;
Sense of responsibility; and
Loyalty toward the ethical principles espoused by the institution.

It is important that these values and traditions of ethical behavior be consistently demonstrated and carefully maintained. There's no doubt, these values and traditions provide the foundation for everything we do.


CU: DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF "HONESTY"
Honesty...we all know what that means, don't we?


U'S DEFINITION SUPERIMPOSED
The University definition is this: "Honesty means telling the truth. Always, and with no exceptions."


CU: DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF "TRUSTWORTHINESS" WITH DEFINITION SUPERIMPOSED
Trustworthiness – "worthy of trust, dependable, reliable." That's the common definition.


STAFF WORKING
To the University, trustworthiness means that equipment, resources, and property are for the advancement of University goals, not private ones.
FACILITIES @ WORK VIDEO

PEOPLE / COMPUTERS SUPERIMPOSE"PROTECT RESOURCES."

Trustworthiness also means protecting the security of those resources, including electronic data. Some of you may receive additional education specifically about new laws protecting privacy. However, everyone should keep in mind that privacy applies to all of us, whether we work with academic records, health records, personal employee data, or other confidential information.
HIPPA VIDEO

SUPERIMPOSE "DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST"
Trustworthiness also means that you have an obligation to disclose potential conflicts of interest – where your interests or those of someone close to you conflict with the best interests of the University.



SUPERIMPOSE "DON'T WASTE RESOURCES"
Trustworthiness includes being careful stewards of fiscal resources. In fact all of our resources. And we take seriously our obligation to keep that trust. We need to safeguard our resources to ensure they are not wasted and report any instances of abuse or misuse of those resources


SUPERIMPOSE "REFUSE GIFTS THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE DECISIONS"
We cannot accept gifts that could be viewed as influencing our decisions in purchasing, hiring, or elsewhere. In the same way, we cannot accept money for research on behalf of the University except as prescribed by policy.


SUPERIMPOSE "UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING"
Before you sign any document on behalf of the University ask yourself...Do I under- stand what it means? Do I have the authority to sign it? And are any obligations I create an appropriate use of our resources and consistent with University policies.


SUPERIMPOSE "MONITOR EXPENDITURES"
Those in charge of budgets must monitor expenditures for appropriateness consistent with guidelines.


SUPERIMPOSE "REPORT OUTSIDE CONSULTING"
And, for some of us, there is an obligation to report and limit outside consulting activity.

Respect and fairness in dealing with other people...and being responsible toward other people...
