789.UNIVERSITY GUIDE TO STUDENT BEHAVIOR9.1IntroductionRAKMHSU stands for the human dignity and worth of every person and believes therefore, in values that foster the human respect needed for people to live, work, study and recreate together as a community.These values require that everyone at the university make an effort towards building a community that will be known for love of truth, active care and concern for the common good and selfless sacrifice towards others.Good order is a sign that a community is working to achieve the goals it has set for itself. When order is absent or disrupted, not only are individuals harmed, but the community suffers too. To achieve these goals, RAKMHSU has a code of conduct which promotes the well-being of individuals and groups who make up the community. This is to facilitate fostering community in two ways. These are:%u2022First, it encourages a sense of the common good among members of the community by setting standards of behavior that appropriately reflect the character and purpose of RAKMHSU.%u2022Second, it establishes a system to be used when someone compromises those standards in any way that undermines the common good.Rules and regulations provide the basis for a reasonably ordered life. The mere observance of rules, however, without the cooperation and personal appropriation of the values they protect, falls short of what RAKMHSU hopes for everyone who is part of the community.Honesty, integrity, responsibility, and respect for persons and property, especially property belonging to the university, characterize members of the RAKMHSU community. Acting against these values diminishes the understanding of community. Such action, because of the injury it does to the community, shall be taken seriously and handled fairly yet firmly.9.2 Student Academic and Professional IntegrityRAKMHSU is an academic community devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Academic integrity is fundamental to this endeavor.All members of the RAKMHSU community share the responsibility for maintaining the academic standards and reputation of the university. As a member of the university community, academic honesty is a condition for continued membership which prohibits lying, cheating, fabricating, vandalism or stealing.All members of the university community have a responsibility to ensure that they themselves, and others, are familiar with generally accepted standards and requirements of academic integrity.The following guidelines outline the University guide to student behavior:%u2022No student of the university community shall be deprived of academic freedom, personal rights and liberties without due and fair processes of the applicable university regulation.
