Resources on which assignments are based are to be available to each student.

Resources, including textbooks and library books are to be treated with respect by the students, used wisely, cared for, and returned in good condition when the assignment or course is concluded. The student to whom a textbook or library book is issued will be held responsible for its return in good condition. A reasonable system of fines, penalties, or methods of repayment for a fair value of the book is to be developed.  No student is to be penalized if the book is lost because of factors beyond his/her control.
