Principles for Ethical Professional Practice: Provided by the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE).

Federal EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) legislation prohibits departments from recommending specific candidates to employers for employment opportunities. All students must have equal access to opportunities, and we strongly recommend that all positions are posted in Handshake.
