LSU is a community in which students, faculty, and staff together strive to pursue truth, advance learning, and uphold the highest standards of performance in an academic and social environment. It fosters individual development and the creation of bonds that transcend the time spent within its gates. Campus Life supports LSU’s Commitment to Community, stated below:
To demonstrate my pride in LSU, as a member of its community, I will:

• Accept responsibility for my actions;

• Hold myself and others to the highest standards
  of academic, personal, and social integrity;
  
• Practice justice, equality and compassion in
  human relations;
  
• Respect the dignity of all persons and accept
  individual differences;
  
• Respect the environment and the rights and
  properties of others and the University;
  
• Contribute positively to the life of the campus
  and surrounding community;
  
• And use my LSU experience to be an active
  citizen in an international and interdependent
  world.
  

The continued success of LSU depends on the full commitment of each community member to these, our basic principles.
