Does the Code cover my issue?

If the research conduct which is troubling you involves a staff member, then the Code does apply, as the Code covers all staff conducting or supervising research under the auspices of Massey University, including Professors Emeritus, Visiting, Adjunct and Honorary staff and contracted researchers.

The research actions of students (and staff who are students) enrolled with Massey University for qualifications involving research are covered by the Student Academic Integrity Policy (p3).
