The Cardinal Creed

The University of Louisville is a community of scholars dedicated to personal and academic excellence.
In joining this community, I commit to a code of civilized behavior.

I will practice personal and academic integrity;
I will respect the dignity of all persons;
I will respect the rights and property of others;
I will not condone bigotry;
I will strive to learn from differences in people, ideas, and opinions;
I will demonstrate concern for others, their feelings, and their need for conditions which support their work and development.

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