In this paper, we will make a brief introduction regarding the elements of novelty and continuity brought by the new Framework-code of University Ethics and Deontology approved by the Government of Romania on April 4, 2024 and published in Monitorul Oficial on April 9, 2024. There will be made a series of observations regarding the name of the document (framework-code), the objectives of this normative act, its applicability, the constitutive and operational ethical values of the university activity legislated by this Code, as well as regarding the novelty elements that this code brings with regard to Romanian academic ethics. In this presentation, we seek to debate a series of concepts used by the legislator in this Code. We will also briefly present the principles applicable to university ethics and deontology contained in the ethics Framework-Code, insisting on the principle of independence from any moral, scientific, religious, political, economic influence or of any other nature, in the didactic or scientific activity, as well as and on the principle of respecting the rights and freedoms of the members of the university community.
