do if he knew he would never
be found out.”
(Baron Thomas Babington Macauley, early 19th-century
English historian)

31. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)

records, credentials or effects
Print, disseminate false information to or about
the university

Plagiarize
Theft or stealing of school or students’ properties

32. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
Honesty
Honesty requires that one looks at all the
facts.
Communication & Conduct are the two
keystones of honesty. Communication
requires that one does not stay willingly
blind. Candor, openness, and truthfulness
lead to understanding.
Understanding leads to conduct that is
becoming of an honest person.
33. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
Honesty
Cheating, stealing, sneaky behavior,
deceitfulness are acts that demean one
character.
An honest person will not keep silent
when silence is intended to cause another
person to believe something that is not
true.
34. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
Courtesy
an act of respect towards another
a sign of maturity

picture/s , image/s, video/s reflecting
un-Christian behavior of himself or of
any person
36. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
Respect
• The essence of respect is to show solemn
regard for the worth of people, including
oneself.
• The ethical duty is to treat everyone with
respect – not to respect everyone in the
sense that we admire them.
37. Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
RULE of RESPECT
All individuals are important and the
well-being of each is a moral end in
itself; never treat others as simply the
means for your own gain or
gratification.

“I will treat you like a
gentleman, not because
you are one, but
