CONSUMER INFORMATION
Johnson Bible College adheres to the principles of equal educational and employment opportunity without regard to handicap, gender, race, color, or national ethnic origin. Information on completion/graduation rates and campus crime is available upon request from the Admissions Office. Grievance procedures are outlined in the college catalog.
Johnson Bible College wants your time as a student to be the most productive learning experience possible. We believe that effective education takes place with the integration of faith and learning. We have sensed God’s handiwork in the development of our programs and we know that your best educational experience will result when faculty, staff and students appreciate God’s interest in using these programs to bring about His desires for all of our lives and in the life of our students. Since you are now a graduate student, we believe you should be treated as a mature adult. We find it helpful to establish some common ground as a base for the educational experience. We believe that our response to the following principles and strategies for living will greatly affect the quality of learning. We ask you to read these statements carefully to determine whether you can accept this “common ground” for the duration of your graduate educational program. If you have questions, you are encouraged to discuss them with the Chair of the Teacher Education Department.
PRINCIPLES
Authority of the Word of God The Bible is God's inspired revelation for Christian belief and practice. Lordship of Christ A personal relationship with Jesus Christ will bring guidance for life and enablement for obedience. Civil Authority Through His word, Christ calls us to obey local, state, and federal laws. Responsibilities of Community Living The mission and goals of Johnson Bible College are stated in the college catalog. To accomplish this mission, the College adopts policies to maintain an optimum level of order and certain standards congruent with carrying out the college mission. Students are asked to recognize their responsibilities as members of the community and to respond positively to the policies and standards in order to enhance the learning environment. STRATEGIES FOR LIVING
Substance Use and Abuse The Bible describes our body as a "temple of the Holy Spirit." Irrefutable evidence has been presented that tobacco, alcoholic beverages, non-medicinal narcotics, and hallucinogenic drugs will harm the body. Therefore, students who possess, use or distribute any of the above while a member of the Johnson Bible College community can expect dismissal from the College. Additionally, all students found guilty of possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs lose all eligibility for Title IV financial aid according to section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as well as college financial aid. A Substance Use and Abuse Policy statement will be distributed annually to the student body and is available upon request in the Student Development Office.
Racial and Ethnic Diversity Johnson Bible College encourages a diverse community of believers and subscribes to the equal right of all to pursue excellence in their lives without inhibitions based on their race or ethnicity. The Bible underscores this approach in the many passages, which describe our “oneness in Christ Jesus.” Racial or ethnic discrimination in any form is not condoned in Scripture, is not tolerated according to federal law, and is not acceptable at Johnson Bible College.
Sexual Harassment Johnson Bible College views any form of sexual harassment, verbal and physical, as inconsistent with Biblical teaching and the standards of the College. Harassment of employees or students is considered illegal sex discrimination and in violation of Title IX of the 1972 Education Act for Students. Violators are subject to disciplinary action, including suspension or dismissal. Complaints should be reported immediately to the Dean of Students. In all cases, confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible as required by applicable law. Sexual Conduct Johnson Bible College encourages the development of healthy relationships between men and women. Johnson Bible College also recognizes that sexual relationships are designed by God for expression only in the context of a committed heterosexual marriage. We believe that sexually immoral behavior, including premarital sex, adultery, cohabitation with the opposite sex, and homosexual acts, nullifies a positive experience of faith and learning. Students involved in such behavior should expect dismissal. Honesty Lying, cheating, and stealing will spoil the educational experience for the student and the College. Students engaged in such behavior should expect disciplinary action. Speech and Conversation Learning from one another in the Teacher Education Program is built on the principles of trust and affirmation. Trust and affirmation is communicated in verbal and nonverbal ways. The Scriptures teach us to “not let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up…” Therefore, slanderous, profane, sacrilegious, obscene, or suggestive language is considered inappropriate for a Johnson Bible College student. Holistic Critical Thinking Part of the educational experience at Johnson Bible College is the development of critical thinking with regard to the relationship of “spiritual” life and “secular” life. We believe that God wants us to make choices in all ways of life that reflect His values. With that in mind, members of the Johnson Bible College community are called upon to critically evaluate the effect of certain aspects of our culture on our spiritual life. Entertainment profoundly affects culture. Radio, television, films, videos, literature, drama and music all have the potential of negatively affecting our spiritual life, especially when they use obscenity, pornography, degradation, lewdness, sensuality, violence, or glorify any value that is in opposition to your Christian values. Gambling also negatively affects our spiritual life. The Scripture offers us a criteria for evaluating what kind of entertainment will positively affect spiritual life: “whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Phil. 4:8). Johnson Bible College wants to facilitate the development of holistic critical thinking. Johnson Bible College wants you to understand that a productive educational experience is one in which critical thinking will extend beyond the classroom to all of life. Therefore, members of the Johnson Bible College teacher education graduate program are called upon to critically evaluate the effect of entertainment choices on their spiritual life and to make decisions that are compatible with God’s will. Students are encouraged to discuss questions about this policy with the Dean of Students.
