Standards of Conduct
On.April.14,.1978,.the.AAAS.Board.of.
Directors. adopted. the. following. position.
statement. regarding. standards. of.
conduct.at.AAAS.meetings:
“The.Board.takes.it.for.granted.that.all.
who.attend.the.Annual.Meetings.of.the.
Association. will. conduct. themselves.
with. consideration. for. others. and. with.
particular. consideration. for. those. who.
generously.give.their.time.and.thought.
to.the.sessions..Differing.opinions.will.
continue.to.be.heard.and.respected..We.
recognize.that.there.are.areas.of.science.
that. are. both. controversial. and. troubling..
The. Annual. Meeting. can. serve.
as. an. effective. forum. to. consider. such.
issues.so.long.as.procedures.of.orderly.
debate. and. fairness. are. followed.. Discourtesy.
and. abusive. behavior. have.
no. place. in. the. annual. Meeting..When.
excesses. occur. they. do. great. injury. to.
the. Association. and. to. the. process. of.
discussion..They.cannot.be.condoned.”
The. AAAS,. Pacific. Division,. as. part.
of. the. larger. organization,. ascribes. to.
this.position.and.will,.if.necessary,.take.
appropriate. measures. to. assure. adherence.to.it.
No Smoking Rule
On. December. 30,. 1971,. the. AAAS.
Council. approved. a. motion. requesting.
that.persons.in.attendance.refrain.from.
smoking. at. Council. meetings. and. scientific.and.public.sessions..The.AAAS,.
Pacific. Division. ascribes. to. this. policy.
and.asks.that.all.persons.who.attend.the.
meeting.comply.with.this.ruling.
Meeting Development
The. technical. programs. of. AAAS,.
Pacific.Division.meetings.are.developed.
by. proposals. submitted. by. individuals.
and/or. groups. of. individuals. and. overseen.
by. the. Executive. Committee. and.
Executive. Director. of. the. Division..
Symposium.planners.are.responsible.for.
developing. lists. of. presenters. that. represent.
fairly. the. topic. at. hand.. Papers.
submitted. separately. from. symposia,.
referred. to. as. Contributed. Papers. and.
Contributed. Posters,. are. reviewed. by.
section.chairs.prior.to.their.inclusion.in.
the.program.
All. program. review. is. based. on. scientific.
significance,. timeliness,. balance,.
and.clarity.of.organization..In.the.case.

is.based.on.materials.provided.by.planners.or.submitters.and.does.not.include.
