LAC 22:XI.1903. Integrity

A. Operational weaknesses and failure to achieve satisfactory performances are serious matters, but compromising integrity to achieve or report satisfactory performance is infinitely more serious. B. Board members must set a good example at every opportunity. Their actions and direction should leave no avenue for doubt that they have completely and honestly performed their duties. C. Board members must eliminate any appearance of impropriety, no matter how minor, toward violations or compromises of integrity. To achieve and maintain their objective, it is absolutely essential that board members be continuously conscious of their personal responsibility to practice integrity as they conduct their daily activities. D. From time to time, infractions of integrity may be uncovered. There is no excuse for such infractions and they will not be condoned. Personal integrity must be complete and above reproach. If and when detected, infractions shall be reported to the appropriate authorities, and those responsible should be dealt with, in the most severe manner possible.
