GUIDING PRINCIPLES

HONESTY

Honesty is necessary to maintain relationships. It is the bridge of confidence and trust linking people together. The Network will be organized and run in an honest way. We expect everyone at The Network to behave in an honest manner. Dishonesty, such as lying, stealing, and cheating will not be tolerated. We recognize plagiarism as a serious form of dishonesty. “Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition.” (University of Oxford)


RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY

The Network recognizes that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ultimate authority. The Network is organized with an authority structure that is in place for the mutual benefit of all. Respecting this authority means submitting to teachers, Network staff, and the requirements and policies of The Network.


RESPECT FOR PEERS

We recognize that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. A respect for peers has two aspects. The first is not thinking too highly of self. The second is regarding the high value of others.


RESPECT FOR PROPERTY

We expect everyone to exhibit a high degree of respect for the property and property rights of others. This includes any facility where we meet and the personal belongings of others.
