Home > About KAU > University Core Values       Core Values | Objectives |   Accountability, Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Engagement, in short, ARISE.       Accountability   We will accept responsibility and meet high standards as students, faculty, staff, or   administrators. We will learn from our mistakes and use them as opportunities for growth.       Respect   We will recognize and appreciate differences among ourselves and we will value the unique   strengths of each individual, which will contribute to the University’s advancement. We will   support each other to excel personally and professionally, fostering a strong positive energy on   campus.       Integrity   We will work as a team for the good of the whole. We will promote an environment of openness,   honesty, and fairness, while holding ourselves and each other to the highest standards of   professional and ethical conduct.       Safety   The mental and physical safety of students, faculty, and staff are not negotiable. We will have   zero tolerance with respect to safety. We will provide a safe and caring environment for all   members of our university community.       Engagement   We will value engagement within and outside our campus, reaching academic institutions,   businesses, and communities throughout the nation and the world. While the student-faculty   relationship is central to the University, we need to create an environment for intellectually   stimulating each other by engagement.
