This commitment results from the conviction that these standards serve the good of the individual as well as the institution. These standards are not set forth as absolutes or as an index of Christian spirituality but rather as expectations of this community. Because of the importance of trust in and responsibility to one another, violations of these standards are regarded as a serious breach of integrity within the community. Corporate worship, fellowship, and instruction are essential for our community. Therefore, students, faculty, and administrators are expected to attend chapel.
Regular attendance is understood as a mature response to our community goals.
In addition, members of the community are encouraged to participate in university-related religious activities as well as those of their own church. The community recognizes the danger to one's physical and psychological well being in the use of certain products. Under no circumstances are the above to be used, possessed, or distributed on or away from campus. Members are expected not to abuse the use of legal substances. In order to enhance and preserve the ethos of Taylor University, social dancing by community members is not permitted on or away from campus.
