“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.” — Justice Clarence Thomas
OUR HONOR CODE
HU leadership, staff, faculty, and students will strive to follow these biblical admonitions: “In everything…treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the law and the prophets” and “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 7:12; 22:36-40, NASB).
Practically speaking, these simple maxims mean that neither students, nor anyone formally affiliated with HU will knowingly engage in lying, cheating, stealing, cruelty, harassment (sexual or otherwise), rule-breaking, violence, or any form of illegal or unethical behavior.
Rather, they will seek to exhibit and emulate the fruit of the Spirit, which is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23, ESV).
“Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom” (James 3:13).
“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” — Calvin Coolidge, 30th U.S. President
