Governing Values

The following governing values are the principles and beliefs that guide our actions to fulfil our mission. They also guide the process of setting long-term strategic goals and objectives and their implementation methods:

• Integrity: University Staff members shall abide by ethics, honesty and integrity in all transactions. They shall uphold the principles of fairness, goodwill and respect in line with the university laws, regulations and policies that define behaviour within the community and outside.
• Individual responsibility: University Staff members shall assume full responsibility for their respective positions and the authority they are vested, as well as their responsibility towards each other. Each individual shall perform his or her duties in accordance with the fundamental values and standards of ethical conduct, the exercise of good governance and the best interest of the institution and society.
• Respect of the other: The faculty adheres to the principle of treating every member of the society with respect and dignity. It prohibits discrimination and harassment and provides equal opportunities to all members of the society regardless of race, colour, national origin, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or citizenship.

• Academic Freedom: In terms of the scientific research system, the faculty seeks to maintain its scientific independence and to unleash the freedom of scientific research in a way that does not contradict with moral values.
