Chapter 1 Mission Statement & Institutional History
Statement of Community Values and Behavioral Expectations
Adopted as College policy by the Board of Visitors, May 1991.
Mary Washington is an academic community dedicated to the highest standards of scholarship, personal integrity, responsible conduct, and respect for the individual. We hold among our foremost common values:
• The importance of personal integrity as reflected in adherence to the Honor Code;
• The right of every individual to be treated with dignity and respect at all times;
• The acceptance of and respect for diversity in our community and adherence to the College's Statement of Non-Discrimination; and
• The freedom of intellectual inquiry in the pursuit of truth.
As members of the College community, we refuse to tolerate behavior that in any way compromises or threatens these values.
