Statement of Integrity and Commitment

As a System committed to quality and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, AIUS views integrity as an underlying tenet to its Mission and Purposes. The system uses the integrity tenet as a foundation for all its operations, services, and programs. Its mission is to advance the intellectual condition of learners in a diverse society through quality academic programs, services, and other learning opportunities. The System is to provide learners with a learning environment anchored by the highest caliber of instruction built on a solid intellectual and ethical foundation.

Integrity serves as an integral foundation to System governance at the level of the Board of Trustees and in all System operations, institutional representations, advertising, marketing, and services. Honesty and integrity are essential to these functions and serve as the basic contract defining the relationship between the System, its member institutions, and its constituencies. The System will not tolerate any intentional withholding of information, deliberately providing inadequate information or failure to provide timely and accurate information. It is the fundamental responsibility of the System to deal forthrightly with its constituencies, including its faculty, staff, and learners.
