2017-2018 CIU Student Handbook
36
The Credo
exists to stimulate critical and biblical thinking about the world and faith
through the publication of an academic journal.
The Rambler
is a school newspaper written by faculty, staff, and students for the
free, confessional, and respectful exchange of all ideas.
The Exchange
is designed to provide students with a creative outlet for growth in
the humanities, fine arts, and performing arts.
Any student organization, publication, activity, or initiative — officially sanctioned or
otherwise — must conform to biblical and community standards of truth, propriety,
integrity, edification and love. Students are welcome to pursue endeavors that
seek to elevate the level of spiritual, intellectual, social, or physical development at
CIU and are encouraged to collaborate and consult with faculty in such endeavors.
Non-sanctioned activities or initiatives should not imply the support or
endorsement of CIU or the Student Senate. Groups seeking official organization
status should contact Student Life and read the criteria as written in the Student
Senate Constitution.
CIU reserves the right to discontinue any student initiative or activity that it deems
to be counterproductive to the unity and development of the CIU family.
