The McAfee School of Theologyexpects its students, as members of an academic and Christian community, to take theirposition in that community seriously. Students are expected to insure the continuance oftrust among themselves and between them and the faculty by accepting responsibility fortheir own work. The University considers breaches of this trust and responsibility to beserious offenses.JAMES AND CAROLYN MCAFEE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY / 311
