Six Characteristics that Every College and University
Should Strive to Achieve
Campus Life - In Search of Community, published by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (1990) as reported in Academic Dishonesty an Educator's Guide (2002) by Bernard E Whitley, Jr. & Patricia Keith-Spiegel Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers .
 
  • A college or university is an educationally purposeful community, a place where faculty and students share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning on campus
       
  • A college or university is an open community, a place where freedom of expression is uncompromisingly protected and where civility is powerfully affirmed
       
  • A college or university is a just community, a place where the sacredness of the person is honored and where diversity is aggressively pursued.
  • A college or university is a disciplined community, a place where individuals accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governannce procedures guide behavior for the common good.
       
  • A college or university is a caring community, a place where the well-being of each member is sensitively supported and where service to others is encouraged.
       
  • A college or university is a celebratory community, one in which the heritage of the institution is remembered and where rituals affirming both tradition and change are widely shared (p. 7)
