Code of Ethics for Housing & Residence Life Allison Taylor
Included • Purposes • Programs and Services • Expectations from Staff • Treatment of Students • Enforcement of Policies
Purpose: The department will provide a safe place for students to live, socialize, and learn • Nodding: “Our motivation in caring is directed toward the welfare, protection, or enhancement of the cared-for,” (pg. 23) • Aristotle: “In reality, this measure is need, which holds everything together; for it people needed nothing, or needed things to different extents, there would be either no exchange or not the same exchange. And currency has become a sort of pledge of need, by convention; in fact it has its name (nomisma) because it is not by nature, but by the current law (nomos), and it is within our power to alter it and to make it useless,” (pg 75)
Programs and Services: The department will provide programs to help students transition into adulthood. • Nodding: “To care for another person in the most significant sense, is to help him grow and actualize himself,” (pg. 9) • Epictetus: “Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well,” (pg. 13)
Expectations from Staff: Each staff member is expected to perform his/her role to the best of his/her ability. • Epictetus: “If you undertake some role beyond your capacity, you both disgrace yourself by taking it and also thereby neglect the role that you were unable to take,” (pg. 24) • Kant: “Between it’s a prior principle, which is formal, and its posteriori incentive, which is material,” (pg. 13)
Treatment of Students: Treat everyone with respect. • Aristotle: “Equality, however does not appear to be the same in friendship as in justice. For in justice equality is equality primarily in worth and secondarily in quantity,” (pg. 127). • Nodding: “The one-caring has one great aim: to preserve and enhance caring in herself and in those whom she comes in contact,” (pg 172).
Enforcement of Policies: The execution will be educational. • Mill: “The ultimate end, with reference to and for the sake of which all other things are desirable—whether we are considering our own good or that of other people—is an existence exempt as far as possible from pain, and as rich as possible in enjoyments, both in point of quantity and quality,”(pg. 12) • Epictetus: “When someone acts badly toward you or speaks badly of you, remember that he does or says it in belief that it is appropriate for him to do so. Accordingly he cannot follow what appears to you but only what appears to him, so that if things appear badly to him, he is harmed in as much as he has been deceived,” (Epictetus pg 25).
