Expected standards of conduct in the UT CS 25 community.
<aside> 💡 This Code of Conduct is enforced in certain student-run spaces. It is not an official policy of the University or otherwise affiliated with the school or department.

The UT CS community includes people from many different backgrounds. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexuality, or similar personal characteristic.
