Organizational Integrity:  Leading the Principled College

Organizational Integrity icon


“Everyone wants to work for, attend, or support a college that is open and honest and knows what it's doing.  No one wants to be a part of a college that has secrets, favoritism, and no clear purpose.”

— David Hartleb, President, Northern Essex Community College, Haverhill, Massachusetts

Organizational integrity is achieved by institutions whose leaders maintain an unbroken focus on mission and values.  These colleges hold themselves accountable for what they do, how they do it, and if they produce results. 

Leaders of principled colleges demonstrate a clarity of purpose and ethical behavior that inspires all members of the organization to do their best work in support of serving students and the community.
