About
Confronting life truthfully, we hold our word as our bond. If we say we will do something, we do it. We believe that remaining true to our word, even in the face of temptation or persecution, has a value beyond measure. By pledging to honor our personal integrity, we commit ourselves to being honest and forthright at all times in the classroom, on the playing field, and in our private and professional lives. In particular, as members of a community of higher learning, we hold academic integrity in special regard. Recognizing that the value of a Newman degree depends on the academic integrity of the institution, we neither provide nor accept any unauthorized aid on academic work. The integrity of an institution reflects that of its individual members. We understand that compromising our personal integrity fractures and weakens the community as a whole. It damages the bond of trust on which the educational enterprise is founded. By pledging to honor institutional integrity, we affirm our personal responsibility to every other member of the Newman community. In all personal and academic matters, we abide by the relevant policies and codes of Newman University. (Source: https://newmanu.edu/about-newman/our-mission)
