Abstract	Codes of conduct can and should fulfill a critical role in higher education. Codes help overcome some of the challenges inherent in a system predicated on high levels of autonomy and on self-regulation. Codes not only are important indicators of critical topics that are deemed worthy of explicit protection or expectations for behavior; they may often protect those in positions of vulnerability or asymmetry. This article discusses asymmetries that exist in both positional and professional authority, the relations between main campus stakeholders, and the vulnerabilities that are presented by such power differentials. The article concludes with a discussion of the deterrence, detection, and sanctioning of violations of tenets of codes of conduct. (ERIC).
