# Administration Our department has no special administrative office, we are communicating in the way of nature! Departmental issues are discussed in the departmental board meetings which are holding at least one session per month. Faculty members have rights to vote on decisions while we are seeking a consensus. ## 2.1. Code of Ethics and Code of Research There are two comprehensive examples which can be considered to define department's code of ethics. We hope somebody need to write it in the future for the department itself. Until then, these two seem to be meaningful for the department. * ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, * Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, There is a well written code of research from AIS, maybe we can put some issues on the table for Turkish academia soon. * AIS Code of Research Conduct, ## 2.2. Delegation and Tasking Chair's office is the main contact point and it is responsible for ALL activities of the department in the official sense. Assigning various tasks to members of the department is one of the tasks of the chair's office.
