Code of Conduct

HackUIET supports inclusivity. We believe that every single person has the right to hack in a safe and welcoming environment. 

 

Harassment includes, but is not limited to, offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, social class, economic status, veteran status. Additional cases of harassment include but are not limited to sharing sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, brigading, doxing, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks, or other events. If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop doing it.

 

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Further non-compliance would cause the participant to drop out of this event.

 

Sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers, organizers, HackUIET staff, and anyone else participating in the event are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, attendees should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material both in their hacks and during the event. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

 

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, HackUIET and PClub will take actions that are deemed as important. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact HackUIET in the discord channel.

 

We expect participants to follow these rules at all hackathon venues, online interactions concerning the event, and hackathon-related social events.
