College is committed to the values of truth, justice, peace and
the integrity of creation.
TRUTH: We believe in the power of knowledge and the liberating force
of truth. We commit ourselves to the systematic and scientific search
for truth and to fairness and openness in its pursuit. We reject
all forms of deceit, falseness and dishonesty. We strive for the
highest quality of intellectual and academic output at the same
time that we recognize and value the wisdom of the heart.
JUSTICE: We believe that all human beings should be equally blessed
to be responsible for and to enjoy the fruits of knowledge-generation
and social progress. We commit ourselves to a society where power
and opportunity are equally shared and where the “naked are clothed
and the hungry are fed.” We reject discrimination of any kind against
any individual or any group. We believe in gender equality and strive for and support a diverse
and interdependent human community in which people’s rights, welfare
and empowerment are centrally valued.
PEACE: We believe that God has called us to be peace-builders. We
also believe that peace means the absence of violence as well as
the presence of values, attitudes, behavior and ways of life based
on non-violence and respect for the fundamental rights and freedom
of every person. We reject violence of every form and in every social
interaction and all institutions. We are committed to work for creative
and constructive ways of solving conflict and to foster caring and
loving relationships among all human beings and between humans and
the rest of creation.
INTEGRITY OF CREATION: We believe that God has called us to be stewards
of all creation and that the well-being and happiness of future
generations rest upon sustainable and equitable systems and processes
of production and consumption. We reject destruction of the environment
and waste of natural resources. We commit ourselves to care for
the earth and to practice a lifestyle that sustains the health of
the planet on which all life depends.
