<1> Because Columbia International University is an institution dedicated to providing a Christian educational environment and propagating biblical Christianity, we expect all our employees to conduct themselves according to the high moral, ethical and behavioral standards taught in Scripture. <2> These standards prescribe Christ-like behavior such as loving one another, obeying God's word, submitting to those in authority and practicing self-control (Rom. 12:9-13:7, Gal. 5:-26, Col. 3:12-17). <3> These standards also identify unacceptable conduct. While all unacceptable conduct cannot be listed here, some of the most obvious examples include stealing, lying, cheating, accepting bribes, use of profanity, vulgarities and obscenities, adultery, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, pornography, sexual harassment, sexual abuse of children, abuse of drugs and alcohol, occult involvement, and rebellion. <4> As part of our lifestyle policies we expect our employees to be faithful participants in a local Protestant church and to have a consistent practice of personal prayer and Bible reading. <5> We also expect them to abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and nonmedically prescribed narcotics. <6> Gambling and biblically inappropriate dancing are not permitted. <7> Employees are restricted in their use of theater and cinema (including television and video) to that which does not violate biblical principles of purity and worthiness. Viewing movies rated X or NC-17 is not permitted. Viewing R-rated movies is limited. Regular attendance at CIU chapel programs is required. Check All
