Student Conduct and Community Standards: General Principles

Relevant Excerpt

These community standards and expectations are intended to foster an environment conducive to working, learning and inquiry. Each Student is held to the expectations outlined in the Code. 

Freedom of thought and expression as well as respect for different points of view are essential to the University’s academic mission. Nothing in the Code should be construed to limit the lawful, free and open exchange of ideas and viewpoints, even if that exchange proves to be offensive, distasteful or disturbing to some. However, such speech must conform to University policies.
