ASA DataFestTM at Chico State is committed to providing a welcoming and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, workshops, social activities, social media, and other online media. ASA DataFestTM participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the conference organizers.
This code of conduct applies to all participants, including organizers, mentors / VIP consultants, judges, and helpers and applies to all modes of interaction, both in-person and online, on ASA DataFestTM Community, and event specific Slack channels, and social media.
ASA participants agree to:
For more on the code of conduct, please see the ASA Meeting Code of Conduct.
Please speak with an event coordinator on site, or email Robin Donatello at rdonatello@csuchico.edu.
If any attendee engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may take any lawful action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to warning the offender or asking the offender to leave the conference. (If you feel you have been unfairly accused of violating this code of conduct, you should contact the organizers with a concise description of your grievance.)
We welcome your feedback on this and every other aspect of ASA DataFestTM events, and we thank you for working with us to make it a safe, enjoyable, and friendly experience for everyone who participates.
