It is the responsibility of every faculty’s member to uphold these principles of academic ethics.
In the event of differences between students, academic personnel or between students and academic personnel, the responsibility of involved parties is to resolve differences through respectful discussion. If solution cannot be found then involved parties must turn to the director of the respective programme or the dean of the faculty. Lastly, if conflict cannot be resolved in such a way, involved parties must turn to the Academic Ethics Commission of the University of Latvia or other institutions accordingly to Latvian normative acts and norms of the University of Latvia. Expert advice can be sought from the Ethics Committee of the Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Latvia.
