"It is of deep importance in our increasingly
multicultural society and our interdependent world that our
students recognize the sanctity of life and the dignity of
the individual. We want to instill in our students a respect
for each person as a unique individual. We want our students
to understand that concern for ethics and human rights is
universal and represents the aspirations of men and women
in every time and place." - Foreword 2000.
