Our Commitment to Integrity
The Expectation Continuum: Tolerance, Respect and Honor
Life University embraces a central role for integrity in its pursuit of its Mission. Life recognizes that its approach to integrity covers an increasingly responsive continuum in approaches. At one end of the spectrum Life recognizes the highest ideals of integrity. We understand how each person’s commitment to integrity honors and elevates the entire community. That our approach to issues of integrity are grounded in the highest and noblest aspirations of human beings: to honor and defend the commitments of ourselves and others, to act honorably, to be honest, responsible, worthy of trust and act with the highest levels of responsibility. We see the exemplars of this approach throughout our country’s history: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thurgood Marshall, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
On the other end of the integrity spectrum Life University recognizes and understands that it is necessary to ground those high ideals into a well-codified and structured set of rules for its members to follow. These rules provide the barest minimum level of integrity that the community will tolerate. Anyone failing to behave at or above these minimums must face processes designed to improve their behavior to a higher level in order to continue their membership in the Life community.
The vast majority of the members of the Life community exist in between these two levels. Life University embraces the notion that integrity is not a state, rather that it is a daily striving, a struggle to reach closer to the highest ideals despite pressures to retreat to the lower levels that result in complaints, investigations, hearings, and sanctions. This results in a community based on mutual respect.
Life University understands and embraces the centrality of the students’ experience to learn more than academic content, but also to develop skills and values that will support them in managing their approach to integrity throughout their whole lives. To this end, Life charged a special task force in 2005 to develop this guide to academic integrity and the accompanying program. Life University’s leadership is committed to support in any way possible the manifestation of integrity on the campus, in its myriad forms and many levels of manifestation.
Life recognizes five essential components to integrity on campus and expects faculty members, staff and students to embrace these concepts and to live them on a daily basis, on and off campus:
Responsibility
Along with the rights of being a member of the Life academic community comes the principle of responsibility. Every member of the Life community is charged with accountability for upholding the institution’s core values and expectations. Every member of the Life community is expected to exemplify the University’s standards and practices.
Respect
At the core of the Life community lies a deep regard for other human beings. Faculty members and students respect each other as people, not as means to an end. Faculty members show respect by valuing students’ goals and ideas, by engaging students and each other with intellectual rigor and discipline, providing honest feedback to students and peers with a view to improvement, and by treating every member of the Life community as a valued individual.
Honesty
Honesty is the cornerstone of the academic enterprise. At Life, our educational focus is on the core proficiencies. Intellectual and personal honesty is the hallmark of Life University’s endeavors to advance truth, and to explore deeper understanding of human health and behavior. In creating the next generation of graduates to initiate needed change in society, Life recognizes the centrality of both honesty and candor.
Trust
Life University’s policies and practices are based upon a fundamental recognition among its members that at the core of each and every human being is an innate intelligence that shares common origin. This understanding creates an awareness among Life community members of our common mission - to improve the world by applying intellects and energy in positive directions. This understanding provides the foundation for a fundamental expectation of positive and supportive behavior from all members of the Life community.
Fairness
Life University provides fair evaluation processes for all members of the Life community. It is an important value at Life to have processes spelled out clearly and administered equitably across the organization.
Guy F. Riekeman, D.C.
Chancellor of Life University
Personal and Academic Integrity at Life University
The first of the Life Core Proficiencies at Life University is Integrity and Citizenship. The following documents will help explain the University’s expectations for personal and academic integrity.
These documents are the Life University Honor Code, the Standards of Conduct, processes involved in administering the Honor Code and Standards of Conduct. A conduct flow chart and the online incident report can be found online by visiting the Student Conduct website at http://www.life.edu/campus-life-pages/student-conduct/. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the content and processes contained within this document and online.
LIFE UNIVERSITY HONOR CODE
Students
All members of the Life University community are entrusted with the responsibility of upholding ethical goals and values. Essential to the fundamental purpose of Life University is a personal commitment to the principles of Integrity and Citizenship.
Integrity provides the underpinning for the responsible exercise of our rights and responsibilities as civil human beings within our community. Integrity leads to empowerment and excellence, while a lack of integrity results in mediocrity. Life University teaches students how to achieve and maintain personal integrity and function as valued citizens within the academic, health care and larger communities.
As individuals and members of the Life University community, we commit ourselves to act with civility, honesty, and responsibility, and above all, with integrity and honor. We are accountable for all that we say, write and do. We are responsible for the academic integrity of our work. We pledge that we will not misrepresent our work, nor give or receive unauthorized aid. We commit ourselves to behave in a manner that demonstrates concern for the personal dignity, rights and freedoms of all members of the community. We are respectful of Life University property and the property of others. We will not tolerate a lack of respect for these values by anyone.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Life University complies with federal and state law, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, citizenship or veteran status. The University also prohibits sexual harassment. This nondiscrimination policy applies to all employment practices at Life University, and to the admission, access to treatment in, and employment in, LIFE’s education programs. Inquiries regarding LIFE’s student-related nondiscrimination policy may be directed to the Director of Human Resources at (770) 426-2930.
Rationale
This Honor Code was developed following discussions among a broad range of constituencies within Life University, encompassing students, faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees. This Honor Code is a living document that will evolve with time. In order to better foster and advancean environment of ethical conduct in its academic community. Life University may amend both the substantive requirements and the enforcement procedures contained herein to reflect experience gained from its implementation.
Authority
Any modification of the Honor Code must be approved by the Board of Trustees upon recommendation from the President. The Life University Standards of Conduct govern the enforcement of the Honor Code. Modifications and variations in the Standards of Conduct, including the use of alternative procedures in specific contexts as mandated by federal or state law, are subject to the approval of the President. In addition, upon recommendation from a Dean, Director or the Faculty Senate, the President, Vice President of Academic Affairs or the Vice President of Student Services may permit individual units of Life University to adopt and implement area-specific standards of conduct. However, these standards may not authorize or condone conduct prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the Honor Code.
Any changes to the Standards of Conduct shall be published in the Academic Quarterly and shall be in effect from the day of publication forward.
Definitions
The term “student” includes all persons taking/ auditing courses at Life University, either full-time or part-time, pursuing undergraduate, graduate, or professional studies. Persons who withdraw after allegedly violating the Standards of Conduct, who are not officially enrolled for a particular term but who have a continuing relationship with Life University or who have been notified of their acceptance for admission are considered “students” as are persons who are living in Life University residence, although not enrolled in this institution.
The term “respondent” refers to any student or student organization or member of a student organization who has been formally charged with alleged violations of the Standards of Conduct
The term “complainant” refers to any Life University community member who has filed a complaint with the Director of Student Conduct, alleging that one or more violations of the Standards of Conduct have occurred.
The term “Conduct Review Board” (CRB) and Administrative Hearing Officer (AHO) refers to any person or persons authorized by the Director of Student Conduct to determine whether a student has been found to have violated the Standards of Conduct and to recommend sanctions that may be imposed when a rules violation has been committed.
Enforcement
The Life University Standards of Conduct shall apply to all Life University Students. The procedures in the Life University Student Handbook shall govern and be followed in the case of any alleged violation of the Honor Code. When a member of the Life University community serves in multiple roles, the applicable handbook will be determined by which role the respondent was serving in at the time of the alleged violation. Any conflict or dispute concerning which procedure governs the enforcement of this Honor Code shall be resolved by the Vice President of Student Services.
Jurisdiction
While the activities covered by the legal system of the larger community and those covered by the Life University Standards of Conduct may overlap, it is important to note that the community’s laws and the Life University Standards of Conduct operate independently and do not substitute for each other. Life University may pursue enforcementof its own Standards of Conduct whether or not legal proceedings are underway or even being considered, and may use information from third party sources (such as law enforcement agencies and the courts) to determine whether the Life University Standards of Conduct have been violated. Life University Standards of Conduct apply to student behavior both on campus and off campus, and enforcement of these Standards may occur regardless of where the behavior took place.
In the case of allegations of sexual misconduct, the Life University Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedures shall apply and supersedes the procedures and policies set forth in the Honor Code.
Standards of Conduct
Introduction
The Life University Standards of Conduct apply to all members of the Life community. Each constituency will be governed by the appropriate handbook, policies or laws. Students are governed by the Student Disciplinary Procedures contained in this document. Faculty members are governed by the Faculty Handbook and all employees are governed by the Employee Handbook. Members of the Board of Trustees are governed byThe Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code, the Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws and other policies of the Life University Board of Trustees. Life University expects its community members to recognize the strength of personal differences while respecting the institutional values embodied in the Honor Code. They are encouraged to think and act for themselves, as that is the purpose of higher education. However, they must also understand that Life University has non-negotiable values in which it strongly believes. The purpose of these Standards of Conduct is tocommunicate these values to the Life University community, and promote an environment conducive to education, work, scholarly activity and recreation.

Life University Responsible Action Protocol (RAP)
Life University considers the health and safety of its students a priority concern. As members of the Life family, students are expected to take active steps to care for one another. The University is aware that when faced with an alcohol and/or other drug emergency, students may not want to seek help for themselves or other students for fear they may face sanctions by the University. In an effort to create a culture of care and encourage students to seek emergency help for themselves or others, the Responsible Action Protocol has been created.
The Responsible Action Protocol (RAP) provides alternative resolution options for students who seek help themselves or for other students with alcohol and/or other drug related emergencies.
In situations involving alcohol or drug related emergencies, students are generally expected to -
- Contact an appropriate resource (i.e. law enforcement or University staff) for assistance or on behalf of a drugged or intoxicated student ;
- If calling on behalf of another student, remain with that student until help arrives;
- Cooperate with emergency officials, including providing information on themselves and information requested on the student needing assistance;
- Complete a meeting with the Director of Student Conduct within 5 business days of the initial report and agree to complete any additional assessments or treatment requested by the Director.
If the student complies with the above mentioned guidelines, in most cases, no formal University disciplinary actions or sanctions will be imposed for alcohol or drug infractions, but the incident will be documented, and educational, community, and health initiatives — as well as contact with a student’s parents or family — may be required as a condition of deferring disciplinary actions or sanctions. Students who are referred to educational, community, and health initiatives but fail to meet and complete the recommendations in their entirety may be subject to further action.
Failure to follow the above protocol may result in the RAP being revoked and may result in sanctions for violating University policy.
If a representative of an organization hosting an event calls for medical assistance, this act of responsibility might mitigate potential conduct consequences that could arise against the organization, i.e., the fact that an organization sought help might be considered in potential sanctioning for university policy violations.
The RAP does not apply to individuals experiencing an alcohol or drug related emergency who are found by law enforcement or University Personnel (Resident Assistants, staff, faculty, campus safety officers, etc).
If a student who has used RAP has any subsequent incidents, these will be handled through the regular student conduct process. If a violation is found to occur, prior records, including involvement in the RAP, will be considered for sanctioning purposes.
The University reserves the right to adjudicate any case in which the reported behavior is repeated, flagrant, or egregious.
Students should be aware that the RAP does not prevent or dismiss action by local, state and federal authorities.[AC1]
