In our own immediate arena, the Board of the Architectural League believes that clearly articulating a Code of Ethics serves an essential purpose in today’s world. This Code of Ethics is a testament to our most deeply held belief – that our discipline, like society as a whole, is far better off when all of its members have equal access to success and are equally valued and heard. Recent events have made painfully evident that any progress that has been made in recent decades still leaves us far from this goal, and that it is necessary to emphatically state these commitments.

This Code of Ethics sets explicit expectations of all board and staff members.  The Architectural League makes the commitment to act in accordance with these principles and expects all individuals associated with it to do so as well.

1. Act with integrity.
2. Do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, or disability.
3. Do not harass, and do not tolerate harassment.
4. Pay fair compensation to all employees, interns and consultants.
5. Provide appropriate credit to all collaborators.
