Actions that result in the defacement of another's personal property or University property (thereby constituting defacement under the Code), which make use of slurs, phrases, symbols, or conduct, or which are directed at specific property that signifies group affiliation, in such a way as to make an individual or group feel intimidated or unwelcome because of their actual or perceived color, disability, ethnicity, gender, national origin, race, religion, and/or sexual orientation.

A university is many things but central to its being is discourse, discussion, debate: the untrammeled expression of ideas and information.
