General Expectations of OIC Faculty
The College expects all members of the educational community—students, faculty, and staff—to exercise personal
responsibility, mutual respect, and common decency. We will strive together for a diverse, accessible, disciplined, safe,
and excellent learning community. We will tolerate and celebrate unique individual contributions to our learning
community, making sure to understand and tolerate differences in gender, ethnicity, age, spiritual belief, sexual
orientation, and physical or mental potential. Together, we reject violence, coercion, deceit, and terrorism and seek
collaboration, cooperation, and rationality.
Faculty members pledge to respect students’ time and to be fair in all aspects of the teaching and learning process.
Faculty members will enforce classroom rules of conduct and treat all individuals with respect and consideration. They will
pursue excellence in teaching and research. Faculty shall not engage in sexual or other forms of harassment or engage in
inappropriate relationships with students. Faculty will not tolerate academic dishonesty nor discrimination or harassment
from students to other students.
The main goal of the faculty at Ohio International College is to help students maximize the
benefits that the college experience offers by promoting each student’s academic, social, cultural, and personal growth and
development. We particularly seek to create a civil, supportive learning environment, provide academic support systems to
increase student retention and encourage extraordinary educational progress, celebrate diversity, collaborate with
surrounding agencies and communities to increase enrollment and improve the quality of the student experience, encourage
students to assume responsibility for their educational decisions and experiences, and identify and address student needs
in a changing environment.
