As employees of FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, we affirm our responsibility to conduct ourselves ethically both as individuals and as representatives of an institution with a tradition of fairness, honesty, and integrity.

Provisions: In accord with long-standing FIDM practice, we treat all individuals with respect and dignity. We support the environment of civility, diversity, and cooperation that FIDM fosters in all of its endeavors. We are committed to responsible use of resources belonging to or entrusted to the institution itself, and we subscribe to the official college policies that assert high ethical standards—and clear procedures for maintaining them—in this and other areas.

By respecting the rights and dignity of others, and by striving for fairness and honesty in our dealings with others, we continue to build and reinforce FIDM’s stature as an ethical institution—one of which we can be proud.
