RESOLUTION 8H-2005 ADEA Dental Faculty Code of Conduct
This resolution was approved as submitted with a modification to the code itself.
As men and women responsible for educational preparation of professional care givers, researchers, and educators in health sciences, who place special emphasis on health of the dental, oral, and craniofacial region, faculty appointed in dental schools have special responsibilities. Cooperatively we must be able to assist students of the oral health professions to attain the competencies necessary for entry-level practice. But equally as important as the knowledge and skills underlying the competencies are values that must accompany their exercise in the dental academic environment. These values and consequent behaviors include those that are essential for professionals to act in the best interest of the public and individual patients but additionally include values integral to education and the professoriate.
In January 2003, the ADEA Center for Educational Policy and Research began the development of a Dental Faculty Code of Conduct. A draft of the document was disseminated to other ADEA advisory committees and to the ADEA Councils’ Administrative Boards for review and comment. A variety of changes were incorporated into the document, and the ADEA Board of Directors accepted the revised document in September 2004.
Accordingly, ADEA provides guidance to all dental education institutions, programs, and members through this Code of Conduct, affirming the ethical values deemed essential for appropriate function in faculties of academic dental institutions.
8H-2005. Resolved, that the 2005 House of Delegates approve, accept, and endorse the following Dental Faculty Code of Conduct, including the above preamble.Essential characteristics basic to the Code of Conduct for dental faculty are:
- Honesty: truthful and without deception
- Integrity: consistent adherence to standards and values
- Openness in communication: candid in oral and written communications without concealing important, relevant facts
- Trustworthiness: being completely reliable
These characteristics underlie values that must be communicated to serve students, colleagues, institutions, communities, and individual patients. More powerful than communication alone, the values must be modeled by the faculty for students. Dental faculty also must demonstrate enthusiasm about teaching, learning, practicing, research, and service. Under this code, dental faculty make the ethically correct decision, even under adverse pressures.
In the context of this code, "Dental Faculty" includes dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental laboratory technicians, and basic scientists as well as members of any other discipline(s) who hold faculty appointments in a dental educational institution.
Statement of Expected Behaviors
- As dental professionals themselves, or as members of a dental educational institution, dental faculty members have responsibilities to patients, our professions, and our communities at large.

RESOLUTION 9H-2005 Approval of the ADEA Fiscal 2006 Budget
In addition to the following narrative, delegates were referred to Exhibits 1-2005 and 2-2005 on pages 784 and 785. Exhibit 1-2005 shows nonrestricted income for fiscal years 2002-06 and Exhibit 2-2005 shows nonrestricted expenditures for the same years. The ADEA fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2006 BUDGET
ADEA has experienced significant budget growth over the last several years in an effort to provide additional member services including a number of online services such as the Academic Dental Careers Network, the membership database, the availability of the JDE via the web, and new platforms for AADSAS and PASS that will make real time information available in the future and many others. The FY2006 budget does not propose continued significant growth; instead revenue and expenses are expected to stabilize in FY2006. No increases to membership dues or application fees have been proposed. The effort to achieve financial neutrality on meetings continues as required by the Board of Directors. As a result, new programs, staff, or services will need to be budget neutral or have revenue support confirmed in advance.
The proposed FY2006 (July 1, 2005-June 30, 2006) Association budget was developed over the last six months through a collaborative process involving staff, the Association’s outside accountants, the Finance Committee, and the Board of Directors. The proposed FY2006 Association budget was developed from the "ground up" using the project accounting system. The project accounting system was implemented based on the recommendation of the ADEA staff and approved by the Board of Directors in 2002 to ensure that all programs, meetings, and services could be analyzed from a fully loaded revenue and expense perspective. Based on these discussions among staff, accountants, and leadership, the proposed FY2006 budget reflects the current level of programming and services with a focus on the Association’s strategic directions. Furthermore, the proposed budget anticipates a break-even bottom line with no surplus or deficit generated by operations after the contribution to reserves. The contribution to reserves is estimated at $400,000 as scheduled by the Board of Directors in September 2002. As much as possible, budget projections are based on historical information from FY2004 and FY2005 (note that we were only through a third of FY2005 when the proposed FY2006 budget was being prepared).
REVENUE
The proposed total budgeted revenue for the Association in FY2006 is $10,142,850. This is a 9% increase from the FY2005 budget. The increase is primarily driven by anticipated increases in publications income, anticipated increases in application fee revenue exclusively from an expected increase in the number of applicants, and anticipated increases in contributions, grants, and meeting registration.
Membership Dues
There are no proposed changes to the dues structure in FY2006. Modest changes in total dollars by category are driven by changes in number of members based on staff estimates.
Active
No change in dues amount from FY2005 to FY2006.
Affiliate
FY2006 budget in affiliate dues has been decreased from FY2005 based on prior year actuals of affiliate members. Proposed budget is based on 100 affiliate members at $945 annual dues.
Individuals
Proposed budgeted total dues revenue in this category is based on 2,221 individual members at $125.
Students
Proposed budgeted total dues revenue in this category is based on 242 student members at $40.
Corporate
Proposed budgeted total dues revenue in this category is based on 45 corporate members at $3,400.
Publications Revenue
The total publications revenue budget for FY2006 is approximately 18% more than FY2004 actual revenue in this category, and the change results from anticipated increases in advertising rates and volume. ADEA is now able to offer more opportunities through print and web-based advertising to advertisers, which include many of our institutional and corporate members.

The House approved the following resolution:
9H-2005. Resolved, that the House of Delegates approve the ADEA Fiscal 2006 (July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006) operating budget.
RESOLUTION 10H-2005 Modification to Licensure and Certification Policy
The Council of Allied Dental Program Directors (CADPD) asked that the House of Delegates consider adding a new section to the Association’s policy on Licensure and Certification that addresses additional qualifications for candidates sitting for dental hygiene clinical examinations.
The 2004 House of Delegates adopted a revised Licensure and Certification policy. At the time, the Council of Allied Dental Program Directors considered adding another amendment but decided to wait until the 2005 House of Delegates. An amendment was drafted, reviewed by the program directors, and approved by the administrative board of the CADPD in June 2004. This amendment was forwarded to the Board of Directors for consideration at their January meeting but it did not move forward. Therefore, the CADPD requested that the amendment be considered by the 2005 House of Delegates.
In recent years there have been some jurisdictions that now allow predoctoral dental students to sit for the state dental hygiene clinical licensing examination without specific qualifications that are equal to the requirements for a dental hygiene student to sit for the same examination. In reviewing the ADEA policy on Licensure and Certification, it was determined that ADEA could have stronger policy in this area for the protection of the public. This amendment is necessary to ensure that the safety of the public is met by allowing only individuals that have successfully attained the competency level as stated in the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation Standards for Educational Programs in Dental Hygiene. Competent individuals in all areas of dental hygiene practice would then be eligible to take the National Dental Hygiene Board Exam and any state or regional exam that may be required for Dental Hygiene Licensure.
Therefore, the CADPD asked the House to approve the following resolution to be added as section E in the Licensure and Certification policy:
10H-2005. Resolved, that ADEA Policy Statements, Section III, Licensure and Certification, add the following language as new part E:E. Individuals or students applying for dental hygiene licensure in any jurisdiction must successfully complete the didactic, laboratory, and clinical instruction and meet the same competencies for providing patient care as required by the discipline-specific Accreditation Standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
The following revised resolution was accepted by the House:
E. Individuals or students applying for dental hygiene licensure in any jurisdiction must successfully complete the didactic, laboratory, and clinical instruction and meet the competencies for providing patient care as required by the dental education Accreditation Standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
RESOLUTION 11H-2005 Recruitment, Retention, Access: Best Practices
Profound disparities in access to oral health care exist in the United States. The Surgeon General’s Report (Oral Health in America, 2000), the Institute of Medicine Report (Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, 2002), and the Sullivan Commission Report (2004) document the significant differences that exist among underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged populations in access to and quality of health care. These reports propose that one way to address disparities is to increase the enrollment and graduation of minority and disadvantaged individuals in the oral health professions. Since the 1980s, the number of underrepresented minorities enrolled in U.S. dental education programs has not increased significantly. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded Dental Pipeline Grant, supporting grants from the California Endowment and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, as well as efforts at the state and local levels demonstrate renewed efforts to increase the diversity of dental education applicant pools. There efforts may be paying off. In 2004 and 2005, there has been an increase in the numbers of underrepresented minority applicants to dental school. ADEA is committed to the concepts of increasing diversity and improving access to oral health care. Several policy statements already exist, and one of ADEA’s current strategic initiatives calls for "meeting the oral health needs of a diverse population." The ADEA Sections on Dental School Admissions Officers and Student Affairs and Financial Aid propose revising two ADEA Policy Statements and combining them into a single policy statement to reflect best practices that have been identified in these recent initiatives: leadership and commitment from dental school deans, evaluation of admissions committee practices, use of noncognitive factors in the admissions process, and collaboration among schools and programs to increase the size and diversity of dental education applicant pools.
The Sections proposed that the following two ADEA Policy Statements be amended. The House approved this resolution:
11H-2005. Resolved, that the following ADEA Policy Statement, Section 1, Education; A. Admissions, paragraphs 1.5 and 1.6, which read:1.5 Recruitment, Retention, and Access. The American Dental Education Association strongly endorses the continuous use of recruitment, admission, and retention practices that achieve excellence through diversity in American dental education. Dental education institutions and programs should identify, recruit, and retain underrepresented minority students and identify, recruit, and retain women students where inequities exist. Dental education institutions and programs should accept students from diverse backgrounds, who, on the basis of past and predicted performance, appear qualified to become competent dental professionals. Such efforts to achieve a diverse student body are predicated upon a highly qualified applicant pool and the support of private and public funding, which benefits qualified disadvantaged individuals regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, gender, or sexual orientation. Collaborate with other organizations focused on increasing the numbers of underrepresented minorities in the health professions.
1.6 Noncognitive Attributes. Use as part of the admissions process a consistently applied assessment of applicants’ noncognitive attributes.
Be amended to read:

Dental education institutions should seek to identify and implement best practices in the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups, including but not limited to:
- Commitment and proactive leadership to diversity initiatives from deans and program directors;
- Identification and implementation of admissions committee practices that promote diversity;
- Identification and use of noncognitive factors in admissions decisions;
- Regional collaboration among dental education programs to increase the numbers and qualifications of underrepresented individuals applying to dental education programs;
- Collaboration with other organizations focused on increasing the numbers of underrepresented minorities in the health professions.
