It also applies to conduct occurring outside any of these places if it happens between members of the University Community and affects their performance in CEU Group activities.  The Policy applies to the conduct of all Employees (including temporary and part-time employees) and all Students, as well as to the conduct of those who are guests of or who do business with the CEU Group.
