The LONGER VERSION (to which ALL participants and attendees will beholden to)

The Code Liberation Foundation and the Facets Un-Conference is a safe space where you can express yourself without fear of judgment or harassment. All participants and visitors are expected to treat other participants, visitors, staff, and the general public with respect. Under the umbrella of respect, we expect all participants be mindful of their speech and behaviors both in person and on social media. Particularly, we want to remind participants and visitors to refrain from making assumptions about another's identity, experience, and preferred pronouns.

No form of harassment or assault will be tolerated, this includes but is not limited to physical harassment, verbal harassment, and any form of sexual assault. Those who violate this policy will either be directed to leave the premises or reported to the authorities.

If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please talk with an organizer or volunteer. If you see someone being treated with disrespect, please speak up either yourself or by getting an organizer/volunteer involved. With your help we can make sure everyone involved is being treated with respect.

The following will be considered harassment: physical or verbal threats; unwelcome attention; stalking; pushing, shoving, or use of physical force; behavior that creates a disturbance or is dangerous, including lewd or generally offensive behavior or language; using sexually explicit or offensive language or conduct; excessive profanity; obscene gestures; use of racial, religious, sexual, gender, ability, or ethnic slurs.

We will absolutely not tolerant hate speech, harassing language, and bullying in any shape or form. Anyone engaging in such behavior will be asked to leave. Facets supports thought provoking and fun creativity in technology in safe and inclusive spaces. Safety and diversity are equally important as fun.

Code of Conduct

If a person tells you “no,” your business with them is done. If you continue to attempt to have contact with that person, you may be removed from the premises for the remainder of the event.

Remember:  

“No” means no.

“Stop” means stop.

“Go away” means go away.

Attire is not consent.

Reporting Harassment or Conduct Violations

We have taken steps to make it easier to report instances of offensive and/or harassing behavior. It is very important that if you are being harassed or are in any way endangered, you report it immediately. We cannot address anything that we are not made aware of and we need whatever detail can be provided, such as names, badge numbers, or other descriptive information.

If you experience or witness harassment or threatening behavior, please find the nearest Facets organizer. All Facets can be identified via their Facets name tags.  If, at any time, you feel that your personal safety or the safety of others is in jeopardy, please contact grab an organizer or any NYU professor and/or security guard.

As an attendee, if you witness harassment, threatening behavior, or other inappropriate conduct, we encourage you to speak up and say something. We want to come together as a community, look out for one another, and ensure everyone is treated with respect.
