text: The rule is aspirational, just as are many in TWU's community covenant. This one for example: students agree to "live exemplary lives characterized by honesty, civility, truthfulness, generosity and integrity."
  
  As do many, you completely miss the intent of TWU's community covenant. You see it as a way to rigidly enforce certain beliefs and punish those who fail to live up to them. TWU, on the other hand, sees its belies as something to aspire to. When students fall short of the ideal, the response isn't punishment- it's forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the guiding principles of Christianity, after all.
  
  As far as I know, (and their website last year stated) Trinity Western University has never expelled a student for violating the community covenant.
