Section 3335-23-01 - Introduction and purpose(A) The code of student conduct, a part of the Ohio Administrative Code, is established to foster and protect the core mission of the university; to foster the scholarly and civic development of the university's students in a safe and secure learning environment, and to protect the people, properties and processes that support the university and its mission. The core mission of the Ohio state university is to be the model public university dedicated to research, teaching and learning, and service. The university's shared values define our ethical culture - for all students, faculty, and staff - in support of that mission. These values are: (1) Excellence and impact: demonstrating leadership in pursuit of our vision and mission(2) Diversity and innovation: welcoming difference and making connections among people and ideas(3) Inclusion and equity: upholding equal rights and advancing institutional fairness(4) Care and compassion: attending to the well-being of individuals and communities(5) Integrity and respect: acting responsibly and being accountable Our shared values support principles of open-minded exploration and freedom of expression, respectful and inclusive community, and caring relationships built on trust through honesty, transparency, and authentic engagement. Additional information can be found at www.osu.edu/shared-values.
(B) As members of the Ohio state university community, we strive to embody these shared values through our actions and conduct. The Ohio state university/buckeye honor pledge's purpose is to motivate reflection on our shared values and emphasize the importance of one's personal commitment to ethics in education and learning. Instructors have the discretion to ask students to include a signed version of the pledge with examinations, papers or other academic assignments/requirements.
