Whenever a group of people live and work together, it is wise to have a mutual understanding about responsibilities and privileges.  When the group consists of persons from different backgrounds and with different points of view, this consensus is not easily achieved.  However, the nature of our group or institution and our intuitional purpose and philosophy become our framework for community living.  The goal of responsible self-direction by students and the college's institutional commitments are the chief concerns underlying these principles and policies.
