Philosophy and Key Values
ACU is founded on a long history of commitment to truth, in a spirit of freedom and service. It prizes such key values as:
- following the way of Christ and commitment to Christian values;
- participating in the community and mission of the Church;
- a continuing dialogue between faith and reason - represented, for example, by the dialogue between philosophy and science;
- respect for truth in all its forms and collaboration in seeking it through all the disciplines;
- promotion of the common good, and the dignity of the human person;
- collaboration of all our staff and students, whatever their beliefs, in the interests of a more decent and humane society;
- the promotion of teaching and research in ways that most serve the mission of the University;
- respect for academic freedom.
