COMMUNITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Quality of Campus Community Life

University life outside the classroom should contribute to learning. Not only the regular academic program, but the experiences of living together in a community should add to one's education. Education involves not only the mind, but the use of the body, the control of emotions, the making of choices, the development of character, the response to religious experiences, and other factors.

The Wesley Foundation has a distinctive character. It is committed to Christian moral and spiritual values. Where these imply restrictions of conduct they are in the interest of a richer experience of community life. None of these restrictions harm anybody. Just as athletes accept confining disciplines in order to achieve certain prized excellencies, so students in the Wesley Foundation community accept the disciplines of the community in order to achieve the benefits of a certain quality of community life.

Expected Behavior Patterns

Each member of the community is expected to live honorably, considerately, and peacefully with his neighbors. It is expected that each person will assume responsibility for unquestioned honesty; that each person will refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages, and other habituating drugs the Wesley Foundation is a smoke free facility.

It is the goal of Wesley Foundation that the standard of conduct be Christian and that the atmosphere of the campus be such as to include all the community in Christian fellowship.
We resolves that every student--regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, color, or disability--shall have equal opportunity for adjustment, achievement, and accountability.

Students who are admitted and who continue to be enrolled must give evidence of the ability to function in the total university environment, meeting financial, physical, emotional, academic, and behavioral criteria. Inability to so function will call for review at various official levels for continuation of enrollment.

Wesley Foundation has much to offer responsible individuals--achievement, fellowship, love, community life, Christian ideals, and satisfying fulfillment. The basic goal is to provide an academic, social, physical, and spiritual community atmosphere which will be both rewarding and redemptive. In some cases, however, the failure to exhibit the responsibility in choices, words, attitudes, and actions so compromise the atmosphere desired (and necessary to accomplish the full-orbed goals) that the "needs of the individual" must be limited, subservient to the "needs of the community."

The Wesley Foundation fully subscribes to federal regulations protecting the privacy of students. To insure compliance with these prescriptions, limited disciplinary information may be shared with parents, relatives, or friends of a student without prior written information release granted by the student.

Intentional Communities

Residents in Intentional Communities seek to share their life in Christ more fully as an integral component of the education and formation.

The corporate core values of Intentional Communities include:

• shared leadership
• consensus decision-making
• regular monthly community meetings
• community work assignments
• various opportunities to build community
• day retreats

SELF LEADERSHIP
All residents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes and supports the well being of the community, its integrity and Christian values, and the well being of other members of the community. Therefore, the Wesley Foundation reserves the right to confront behavior that is detrimental to the student, infringes upon the rights and sensitivities of others, or that has the appearance of impropriety.

MUTUAL RESPECT

Residents are expected to be respectful of the individual rights and freedoms of others within the living area. Even if a shared sense of understanding does not exist between community members, residents are still expected to exhibit an outward sensitivity to the diversity inherent within the residential community.

ACCOUNTABILITY IN COMMUNITY

Christian standards help to create an environment that is respectful of individual rights and freedoms; one where all are free to pursue academic excellence; and one that brings glory to God. Residents involved in disciplinary action by the university community may be subject to sanctions involving housing contract termination.

Students wishing to appeal any action must do so, in writing, to the Director of the Wesley Foundation within five school days of the date of the written university decision. The appeal shall consist of one of the following exclusive grounds for appeal. Ideally, personal growth and development are encouraged most when each member of the community uses self leadership and shares the responsibility to care enough about others, to confront them in an appropriate manner. Therefore, residents are encouraged to hold one another accountable to community and university standards.

Upon termination of this lease, resident shall return to the Foundation all keys to the premises.

I. ENTRY TO STUDENT ROOMS: Wesley Foundation officials reserve the right to enter and inspect residence rooms at any time. Inspections will occur when necessary to protect and maintain the property of the Foundation, the health and safety of its residents, or whenever necessary to aid in the basic responsibility of the Foundation regarding discipline.

1. To ensure maintenance and general repair within the room.
2. To address an emergency or health risk.
3. To provide for the health and safety of all residents (includes inspections).

4. To turn off stereos, radios, alarm clocks, and other items which are bothersome to others.

K. COMMUNITY MEETING: Residents are expected and required to participate in community meetings conducted by the Wesley Foundation Staff. Meetings are primarily called to discuss, promote, and educate residents about events or community issues and concerns. Because of the importance of these meetings, you are expected to attend.
