The core mission of THDeggendorf AI is to be inclusive to the widest range of students, from varying backgrounds and fields of study. We firmly commit to fostering a welcoming, safe, and positive environment for all, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, capability, ethnicity, financial status, and religious beliefs or lack thereof.
This code of conduct delineates our expectations from all who associate themselves with our organization, and the consequences that follow unacceptable behavior.
We encourage everyone involved with THDeggendorf AI to help us cultivate a nurturing and positive environment for all members.
One of the ancillary objectives of this Code of Conduct is to bolster technological citizenship. This is achieved by encouraging students to identify and fortify the connection between their actions and their impact on the broader community.
Educational institutions are a reflection of the broader society. Hence, proactive measures are essential to negate prevalent prejudices and misuse of power.
If you observe someone going above and beyond to ensure our organization is inclusive, friendly, and stimulates all members to contribute wholly, we encourage you to share this.
All members of the organization are anticipated to:
- Engage genuinely and actively, thus adding to the vitality and longevity of our community.
- Display consideration and respect in both speech and actions.
- Endeavor for collaboration over confrontation.
- Avoid speech and behavior that's degrading, discriminatory, or harassing.
- Be vigilant of your surroundings and fellow members. Promptly notify the organizational moderators of any unsafe situations or violations of this Code of Conduct.
- Remember that our campus venues might be accessible to others; hence, courtesy should be extended to all.
Within our organization, the following behaviors will be considered as harassment and are unacceptable:

Indulgence in unacceptable behavior by any member, including those in authoritative positions, will not be tolerated.
Individuals who are requested to stop any inappropriate behavior are expected to comply immediately. Failure to do so may result in actions deemed suitable by the organizational moderators, ranging from temporary suspension to permanent exclusion.
Should you become of, or witness to, unacceptable behavior, or if you have any concerns, please approach an organizational moderator at the earliest. You can contact us though GitHub Issues or contact me directly [email protected].
Moreover, our organizational moderators are on hand to assist members in liaising with local authorities or to aid those experiencing any form of unacceptable behavior in feeling secure. During face-to-face events, moderators will provide assistance as required by the distressed individual.
