Campus Interfaith Covenant

I have read the Mission and Goals of Campus Interfaith. I, as a religious representative, will adhere to the following ethical framework and guidelines for ministry and interfaith collaboration at CSUCI:

1. I will support the University’s mission statement.

2. I will respect the free will and initiative of individuals to decide and choose or not choose a spiritual path without forcing my own spiritual views by proselytizing (seeking members to join my faith group, in particular at the expense of another faith group) or maligning (denigrating or defaming another faith group or its practitioners).

3. I will recognize and respect the importance of students’ relationships with their families, and I will not purposely be divisive or seek to alienate individuals from their families.

4. I will publicize events, programs and services with integrity and respect and in keeping with university policies.

5. I will not practice prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping. I understand that the demonstration of prejudice against any individual or group of individuals on the basis of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, politics, and/or socioeconomic status is prohibited.

6. I will exercise the utmost discretion when dealing with controversial and sensitive issues (e.g., abortion, homosexuality, etc.). I understand that differing positions may be stated, but maligning, demeaning, discriminating or stereotyping is prohibited.
