Codes of Conduct

The following codes of conduct apply to both in person and virtual spaces we collaborate in for the Large Hadron Collider Physics Center at Fermilab:

The LPC is hosted by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and thus we must abide by the Fermilab Statement of Community Standards.

The LPC is a member of the CMS Collaboration and thus all participants must abide by the CMS Code of Conduct:  The CMS collaboration consists of members with varied national origin, ethnic background, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, gender, age, physical ability, and religion. As a community, we are committed to being positive and inclusive in all regards. We follow the CERN Code of Conduct. Members of CMS must maintain a professional environment in an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect and abstain from all forms of harassment, abuse, intimidation, bullying, and mistreatment of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation, sexual or crude jokes or comments, offensive images, and unwelcome physical conduct. Members must keep in mind that behavior and language deemed acceptable to one person may not be to another. We commit to helping our community adhere to this code of conduct and speak up when we see possible violations of it. We strive to treat those outside of CMS as we would members of our own community. In the event that the letter or the spirit of this code has been violated, appropriate action will be taken, up to and including procedures specified in Annex A3.2 of the CMS Constitution.  Link to pdf version,  If you have any questions or observe any violation of these codes of conduct, please contact the LPC Coordinators.
