As a Catholic institution, Seton Hall University seeks to create a community where rights and mutual responsibilities are both recognized and valued, where truth and Christian ideals are sought and lived. The University seeks to foster an environment of mutual respect and dignity for each member of the University community. The University expects each member of its community of scholars and learners to take seriously his or her role in fostering an environment in which the dignity and respect for each person is observed. Just as the University has the freedom to teach, students have the freedom to learn. An orderly educational environment that establishes behavioral expectations and encourages free inquiry and expression is essential to student development.
Students can protect their freedom to learn through the choice of responsible actions.
