• Recognize that an institution of higher education is a vital and essential component of a diverse, democratic society.
• Preserve the University’s reputation as a recognized international leader in academic pursuits, research, and service to society.
• Be in compliance with University policies and codes of conduct.
• Include truthful and open disclosure of sources of financial support for externally sponsored or funded University activities.
• Attain a fair financial return to the University for any commercial use of its name or marks.

• Be used for personal gain.
