Embody integrity
Integrity underpins everything we do. The credibility of our instruction and research depends upon it. The U of I System’s high standards of academic integrity attract students seeking a world-class education. Government, industry, foundations, and the community at large look to us for solutions because they know integrity is a key component of our culture and we can be counted on to fulfill our obligations in a responsible and honorable manner. In summary, our integrity fosters the trust that others have in us, and that we have in each other, allowing the U of I System to continually move forward in the pursuit of excellence. Excellence will not be pursued or achieved at the expense of integrity.
