AS A MEMBER OF THE USI COMMUNITY...

I will practice personal and academic integrity; I will reject and confront all manifestations of discrimination while striving to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions;

I will demonstrate concern for others, their feelings, their property and their need for conditions which support their work and development;

Allegiance to these ideals requires that I refrain from and discourage behaviors which threaten the freedom and respect every individual deserves.

The University of Southern Indiana is a diverse community devoted to preparing students to become better students. Each member of this community is obligated to a code of civil behavior. If you experience or observe actions on campus which are not in accordance with the USI Creed, please contact the Dean of Students Office at 812-464-1862.
