Every child of God has a fundamental right to be treated with respect. The savior said, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. The way we treat others shows how we value them as people and as brothers and sisters. Every member of the university community is expected to treat others in a way that will foster the Spirit of the Lord and contribute to the well-being of everyone else at BYUH and in the community.
Respect is demonstrated by our language, courtesy, and demeanor.
Before reporting noncompliance to the Honor Code Office, we should discuss the situation with those we deem disrespectful. Respecting Roommates and Landlords Roommates deserve our respect which we demonstrate by controlling the volume of our entertainment, the observance of housing standards, and fostering of a clean, wholesome living environment. Landlords deserve our respect which we demonstrate by the care we give to their property, avoiding unnecessary wear and tear, seeking permission before hosting guests overnight, and observing all aspects of our written and verbal contracts with them. We should remember that any form of noncompliance is a breach of our word of honor. Respecting Property Property is the possession of one or more individuals, so respect for property demonstrates respect for others.
