EVENT CODE OF CONDUCT

Internet2 and the community are committed to promoting a positive environment at our events and conferences for our members and
the research and education community. Our community values fair and equitable treatment of all individuals and expects our
attendees to interact professionally and respectfully towards one another. Discrimination or harassment of any type, regardless of

tolerated.

Unacceptable behavior includes offensive comments; deliberate intimidation, stalking or unwanted attention; inappropriate physical
contact; harassing, derogatory, or demeaning conduct; or other behavior that demonstrates a lack of professionalism or respect for
another individual.

Participants are expected to follow these rules at all Internet2-hosted events. Participants violating these rules may be asked to
leave an event without warning or a refund, at the discretion of Internet2. In some instances, such behavior may be reported to local

pattern

Issues include:

  • The evaluation criteria of federal grant programs that prevent resource-strained HBCUs and TCUs from being competitive among larger, well-funded institutions
  • MS-CC campuses not only need to advance their CI and research infrastructure; they also need to build expertise to deploy and use CI tools and implementations
  • Competing priorities in supporting the campus infrastructure and limited resources and staffing needed to implement, maintain, troubleshoot, and just keep the lights on to support the campus operating.
  • Assumptions that a campus has done work towards identifying STEM research and education drivers that require the use of computational and other CI resources provided by these efforts and where the training becomes necessary.
