Taken from the central policy wiki:
The Board of Directors has chosen to elevate certain statements of purpose as “Guiding Documents” for the Berkeley Student Cooperative. These Guiding Documents are not, and should not be taken as, either organizational policy or part of the mission statement for the Berkeley Student Cooperative. Instead they represent values, principles, and goals that the Board has collectively agreed to endeavor to uphold in the process of fulfilling the mission and abiding by policy.
