🇬🇧 DEAR STUDENTS,
University is not merely a place where knowledge and professional competencies are acquired. It is also an academic environment in which personal character, responsible behaviour, mutual respect, ethical values, and a sense of social responsibility are cultivated.
Ensuring the safety of every student, protecting personal property, fostering mutual respect, and maintaining a secure and supportive academic environment are among the highest priorities of our university.
In this regard, to prevent petty theft, the unauthorised use or misappropriation of personal belongings, and other forms of misconduct that undermine public order and academic discipline, the University Leadership calls upon all students to give serious consideration to the following recommendations and warnings.
First, take personal responsibility for the security of your belongings. Whenever possible, avoid bringing expensive jewellery, large amounts of cash, valuable items, or other possessions that are not essential to your academic activities onto university premises. Never leave mobile phones, laptops, bags, wallets, or other personal belongings unattended in classrooms, libraries, dining areas, recreational spaces, or other shared facilities.
Second, uphold the principles of modesty and academic culture. We encourage students to refrain from unnecessarily displaying expensive possessions, personal wealth, or material privileges. Exercising discretion and avoiding ostentatious displays of wealth that may attract undue attention or provoke envy are expressions of personal maturity, sound judgement, and responsible conduct.
Third, always remember the primary purpose of your university education. Your foremost responsibility is to pursue quality education, develop your knowledge and professional competencies, strengthen your intellectual, scientific, and creative potential, and prepare yourselves to become highly qualified and competitive professionals. A university is not a place for displaying material superiority or competing over personal wealth. Rather, it is an academic community where knowledge, intellectual ability, talent, integrity, and personal achievement are valued above material possessions.
Fourth, respect the property and personal rights of others. Taking, concealing, misappropriating, or damaging another person's belongings without permission is strictly unacceptable. Theft, disorderly conduct, threats, intimidation, harassment, and other unlawful behaviour have no place within our university community. The university maintains a zero-tolerance approach to such misconduct. Any reported incidents will be examined through established procedures, and appropriate measures will be taken in accordance with applicable laws and the university's internal regulations.
Fifth, remain vigilant and responsible, but avoid taking matters into your own hands. If you notice suspicious circumstances, discover that personal belongings are missing, or witness misconduct, promptly report the matter to University Security, your faculty administration, or other authorised university personnel. Refrain from making unfounded accusations, spreading rumours, or engaging in any behaviour that could harm another person's dignity, honour, or reputation.
We wish to emphasise one fundamental principle: recommendations concerning the responsible care of personal belongings must never be interpreted as justification for theft or any other violation of property rights. Every individual's property deserves protection and respect, and respecting the property of others is a fundamental responsibility shared by all members of the university community.
DEAR STUDENTS,
A person's true worth is measured not by the value of their possessions or the extent of their wealth, but by their knowledge, character, integrity, cultural awareness, and positive contribution to society.
