The professors' juridical liability for the violation of ethics standards and professional deontology

Abstract

In the higher education system in Romania, from the professors' perspective, the problem of ethical responsibility distinguishes among the didactic activities of the teaching staff, which is why the educational process must take place in a civilized and ethical environment based on mutual respect between professors and students, respectively between the scientific research activities of the teaching staff, from this perspective guaranteeing the good conduct of the professional in his/her scientific research activity. Both aspects regarding the ethical responsibility of the teaching staff in the higher education have been regulated since 2004, when an institutional reform was being carried out on the entire territory of Romania on the introduction of ethical codes as ethical tools for regulating from that perspective in particular the professions in the public domain.
