Association of American Colleges & Universities - The concept of “professionalism” captures these correlative personal and collegial group duties to society. Failures of professionalism undermine society’s confidence that a profession and its individual members can be trusted with professional autonomy.

It’s unfortunate, we might think, that a student exhibiting cheating or rude behavior will one day get a job in “the real world.” This student could become our child’s teacher or a local government official. As university professors, we are training future leaders. We want them to exit the institution as young adults ready to take their place in industry and in society, demonstrating knowledge in a discipline and professional behaviors.

American Association of University Professors - The statement that follows was originally adopted in 1966. Revisions were made and approved by the Association’s Council in 1987 and 2009.

Students’ Pathway to Success: A Faculty Guide - At UNC Charlotte, civility in the classroom, mutual respect, and student professionalism are expected goals. Faculty and students should work together to foster the best learning experience. Establishing classroom rules and expectations early in the course promotes civility and helps students develop professional skills. In this chapter we examine ways to encourage civility and promote professionalism in the classroom. We begin by clearly defining classroom civility and introduce faculty to the philosophy of civility. We then offer management strategies for faculty to build into their curriculum and encourage in everyday classroom practices. Campus resources are also offered to assist faculty who need to be aware of the potential, and management of, threatening behaviors. Promoting professional behavior is also discussed.
