Codes and Expectations of Conduct

Here are some codes of conduct which already cover various members of the staff of the Center for Astrophysics. I added the AMS because I'm a member and ran into other CfA people at last year's annual meeting. There are differences between what the various institutions and professional societies emphasize and how prominently their codes of ethics appear on their web site. We started the process in 2020, and these links to resources have been updated to August 2023.

MIT Values Statement
Framed by the phrases "Excellence and Curiosity", "Openness and Respect", "Belonging and Community", it will now live on MIT's About page side by side with the Institute's mission statement.

And there is this interesting note about wording of codes of conduct which led me to re-writing our draft "Espectations of Conduct" in the first person.
