# Ethical Standards

2. **Non-stealing.** We do not handle funds irresponsibly, opaquely, or without accountability.<br>
3. **Non-harassing.** We do not use our teaching position to obtain sexual favors.<br>
4. **Non-lying.** We do not intentionally mislead or speak in mean-spiritedness. We make efforts to safeguard the confidential matters of our students.<br>
5. **Non-intoxication.** We do not teach while intoxicated, unless explicitly part of the container.
