ETHOS STATEMENT: FIVE PRINCIPLES OF STUDENT CONDUCT
Gonzaga is a Catholic, Jesuit University dedicated to pursuing truth, discovering and transmitting knowledge, promoting a life of faith and developing leadership expressed in service to others. Our educational mission reflects a commitment to intellectual rigor, social justice, and an active engagement of contemporary issues.
Principles rooted in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition, challenge students to strive for excellence, to become men and women in service to others, to integrate classroom and out-of-classroom learning, to develop their talents through discovery and reflection, and to be concerned for each person (cura personalis). To achieve these ideals, all students are expected to contribute, through their words, actions and commitments, to the development and sustenance of a community character- ized by respect, caring, and honesty. These characteristics are essential to ensure the rights and privileges of all students and to preserve the integrity of our educational community.
The University encourages the pursuit of knowledge by representation and exploration of diverse ideas in a manner consistent with its Catholic, Jesuit mission. It is understood though, that providing a forum for the open discussion of ideas does not imply University approval or endorsement of the views expressed.
Admission to the University carries with it the presumption that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the community. Upon registration, each student agrees to abide by the policies, rules and expectations of the University. Additionally, the University expects all community members to encourage others to actively commit to and uphold these policies, rules and expectations.
Working together as a community, students, faculty and staff help foster a campus atmosphere that furthers the mis- sion of the University. Students are expected to enhance the campus ethos. This expectation calls for behavior which demonstrates the five principles of student conduct: respect for oneself; respect for others; respect for property; respect for authority; and honesty and integrity.
1)Respect for Oneself
The University values all of its students and is deeply concerned with their total development. Therefore, it is appropriate for the University to set expectations for personal integrity with the aim of encouraging students to appreciate their own talents, take themselves and their academic pursuits seriously, and enhance the quality of their lives. When an instance of disrespect for self is known, the University will routinely respond to a student en- gaging in self-destructive behaviors – behaviors which might impede an individual’s ability to enjoy the privileges of education and to fulfill his/her obligations as an educated leader. Students engaging in such behaviors are also encouraged to seek help from resources both in and outside the University community. Examples of behavior that would indicate disrespect for oneself include but are not limited to:
Inappropriate use of alcohol, including under-age drinking. The effects of alcohol do not relieve individuals of their responsibility to themselves or to the community
Use, possession, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances Physical abuse, or harming oneself, or intentionally placing oneself in danger
2)Respect for Others
Gonzaga expects its members to treat one another with sensitivity, consideration, and understanding and to demonstrate an active concern for the welfare of others. Members of the campus community must act out of Chris- tian charity and mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust, without which there is no community. Respect for others is founded upon observing reasonable community and societal standards of conduct and interaction. The effect of words and actions on third parties must also be considered. In an atmosphere of intellectual inquiry it is

Student Conduct Expectations
expected that students will be respectful and civil in discourse and discussion with those whose opinions they do not share. The University is particularly concerned that its members show respect for others regardless of race, creed, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or nationality and avoid all forms of offensive and harassing behavior. It is expected that students will be open to learning about and respecting persons and cultures different from their own.
Examples of behavior that would indicate disrespect for others include but are not limited to:
Inappropriate conduct in relationships
All forms of harassment including gender, sexual orientation, religious, ethnicity and disability harassment Physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, coercion and/or conduct which threatens or endangers the
health, sense of security or safety of any person
Hazing-like activity, including any behavior that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a person for
the purpose of initiation, or as a condition for membership in a group or organization
Disrespect for the privacy of another person including posting personal information or images without permis-
sion and recording private conversations without the consent of all parties
3)Respect for Property
The mission we share depends upon the responsible use of all property, including such tangible goods as build- ings, library materials, equipment, and green spaces. Respect for property also involves helping to foster a well- maintained environment: a sense of safety, security, tranquility and ownership. This principle requires students to respect both personal and institutional property, as well as other public and private property, both inside and outside the Gonzaga community.
Examples of behavior that would indicate disrespect for property includes but is not limited to:
Theft, improper possession, misuse, vandalism, or damage to the property of the University or another person Unauthorized entry, trespassing or tampering with University premises, facilities or property, including fire pro-
tection equipment
Arson, reckless burning and other inappropriate uses of fire
Activities which potentially could be disruptive, damage property or endanger others, such as golfing on campus.
4) Respect for Authority
Authority derives its legitimacy from its commitment to act on behalf of the common good. The successful exercise of authority depends in part on the respect it enjoys from the community it serves. At Gonzaga, that authority especially resides in the officers of the University: its faculty, administrators, and staff – each of whom has been charged with responsibilities essential to the orderly operation of the University. These individuals serve as leaders and model by example the University’s expectations for all its members. In this respect they help define the atmosphere which supports and fosters our common mission. Additionally, these individuals provide structure to preserve the well-being and freedom of all community members and an orderly environment in which all can develop. The University’s authority includes creating and maintaining a code of conduct and behavioral expecta- tions for all students, both on and off campus.
Examples of behavior that would indicate disrespect for authority include but are not limited to: Non-cooperation with University officials including Security staff, Residence hall staff, Intramural staff, and
Sodexo staff and student employees
Non-cooperation with law enforcement and fire officials
Violation of the University’s published policies, rules and expectations regarding on and off-campus living, in-
cluding violations of the law.
5)Honesty and Integrity
While at Gonzaga University students are expected to demonstrate the personal characteristics of honesty and integrity in all aspects of their campus life, both inside and outside the classroom. Honesty requires making an accurate presentation of facts, free of known errors or omissions. Incomplete checking of facts or gathering of information, as well as inaccurate or incomplete attribution may be considered dishonest. Integrity requires honest discourse with peers, professors and authority figures individually and with the community at large.
Examples of behavior that would indicate dishonesty and/or a lack of integrity includes but is not limited to: Eng
