THE CONDUCT CODE
Philosophy { 8 / 29 / 98 }
In his Foundation Deed , Isaiah Williamson charged the college to undertake “ the moral and religious training of the scholars .” To that end , and as part of its mission to foster the values of faith , integrity , diligence , excellence , and service , the college has established a Conduct Code . The code is designed : to protect the rights of everyone in the Williamson community ; to provide a clean , safe , and well-ordered community with an atmosphere conducive to education ; and to help students entering careers in business and industry develop the responsibility , discipline , respect for authority , and ability to follow instructions that are essential for success .
There is a philosophical understanding that a Williamson education molds young men by creating standards towards which each student is expected to rise . Consequently , there is a greater expectation of Seniors than of Juniors and a greater expectation of Juniors than of Freshmen . As such , disciplinary standards in the Conduct Code have been developed to reflect the greater emphasis on positive leadership and responsibility as the student progresses through his education at Williamson . It does not include every possible sub-classification of the offenses indicated but offers a general guide to the rules governing the conduct of individual students and student groups . Because admission to Williamson is a privilege , it is assumed that the college ’ s regulations will be followed diligently .
