Trinity International University of Ambassadors (TIUA)
Including All Subsidiaries and Affiliates
Ethical Governance and Honorary Recognition
Trinity International University of Ambassadors (TIUA), together with its subsidiaries and affiliates—including TIUA School of Business and Trinity International Chaplaincy Institute—upholds the highest standards of ethics, integrity, accountability, and Christian character in all honorary recognitions.
As a biblical, Christ-centered institution, TIUA confers honorary degrees as symbolic acknowledgments of individuals whose leadership, service, humanitarian contributions, community impact, and personal character align with the University’s mission of education, empowerment, ministry, and global influence.
Honorary degrees are ceremonial and non-academic.
They do not carry academic credit, professional qualifications, licensure privileges, or the rights associated with earned academic degrees.
Eligibility and Standards for Recognition
To be considered for an honorary degree, nominees must demonstrate:
-
Documented excellence in ministry, leadership, education, business, humanitarian work, or community advancement.
-
Conduct consistent with TIUA’s biblical values, ethical expectations, and Code of Ethical Conduct.
-
A reputation for integrity, accountability, and moral leadership.
-
Meaningful impact within local, national, or global communities.
All nominations undergo internal administrative review.
Revocation or Rescission of Honorary Degrees
TIUA and its subsidiaries and affiliates reserve the right to revoke or rescind an honorary degree at any time if:
-
Verified public records or court documents indicate criminal activity, ethical violations, or conduct inconsistent with TIUA’s mission or Christian values;
-
Documented findings reveal misrepresentation, nondisclosure, or false information submitted during the nomination or acceptance process;
-
The honoree engages in unethical, immoral, or disreputable behavior that conflicts with TIUA’s biblical standards or brings discredit to the University;
-
The individual violates the Terms, Conditions & Disclosures they acknowledged at acceptance.
All revocations are administrative in nature and may occur without refund, as fees cover administrative, ceremonial, and processing actions already completed.

The authority to confer, review, rescind, or administratively evaluate honorary degrees is vested in:
-
The Office of the Chancellor
-
The Office of Institutional Affairs
-
The TIUA Board of Trustees
-
Authorized leaders of TIUA subsidiaries and affiliates
DISCLAIMER CLAUSE:
All determinations are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the State of Georgia, as applicable to the specific TIUA entity, subsidiary, or affiliate administering the honorary recognition, and are carried out in accordance with documented institutional due-process procedures and required administrative documentation.
Administrative decisions are made objectively, based on verified evidence—not speculation, commentary, social media opinion, or external influence.
Confidentiality and Public Communications

TIUA and its subsidiaries and affiliates do not publicly comment on, confirm, deny, or discuss any individual honorary degree decisions, including conferrals, reviews, or rescissions.
