This is the amended version of the Founding Charter of the Közép-európai Egyetem.

Central European University aims to provide an inclusive, stimulating and supportive working, learning and social environment which promotes equality, values diversity and respects the rights and dignity of all the staff, faculty, prospective, current and former students, associate members, bidders and contracting parties and visitors to the University. For that purpose, it adopts the present Equal Opportunity Policy.

The purpose of the CEU Ethical Research Policy is to establish the principles and responsibilities for ethical conduct in research by the members of the CEU community. As a research intensive university, CEU values and protects academic freedom while safeguards ethical principles in research such as respect for persons and their welfare and justice.

This Policy applies to all areas of University operations and programs. It applies not only to conduct within the buildings used by the CEU Group (including the CEU Residence and Conference Center and other dormitory facilities that may be provided by the CEU Group), but also to CEU Group-related activities that may occur elsewhere, such as on field trips, at CEU Group-sponsored events, at occasions related to the educational mission of the CEU Group. 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.

The purpose of the Code is to protect the values common to all members of the University community, including academic integrity, obedience to the law and ethical standards; and to provide a clear procedural system for dealing with matters of general and academic misconduct that jeopardize the health, safety, development and mission of the University and of its individual members.

This policy is intended to help prevent accidents, illnesses and injuries; increase safety awareness; meet requirements of occupational health and safety laws and regulations; reduce institutional liability; and establish safety responsibilities for members of the university community and visitors to university-owned or occupied property.

CEU is committed to improving its performance in sustainability in all areas of operations. This policy gives a description of the standards for managing sustainability.
