Committee on Ethics


Contact with the Committee on Ethics should be made through the NAST National Office.

The Committee on Ethics consists of three members: a Chair elected by the Membership at large, and two members appointed by the Board of Directors.

The Committee on Ethics acts upon all questions regarding any violations and penalties for violations of any article of the Code of Ethics by members of the Association, it being understood that before any final action or penalty can be imposed upon a member, the action of the Committee on Ethics must be approved by the Commission on Accreditation.

The infraction of any article of the Code of Ethics is reported to the Executive Director, such report including specific charges and evidence in support thereof. The Executive Director then follows the Procedures for Reviewing Complaints Directed Against Member Institutions of the National Association of Schools of Theatre, found in the NAST Handbook.
