羞羞视频

Demonstrations are a means where like‐minded individuals stand together to raise awareness about pressing social, racial, and global issues. Demonstrations offer opportunities to create a sense of community and work to bring about change. As a university, we have had a long tradition of civic engagement both on campus and as part of national movements and causes.

Yes, peaceful, non-obstructive demonstrations are allowed on campus. We work every day to foster a positive environment in which we can learn and work together. Protests are permitted as long as they do not:

1. Interfere with the normal operations of the University.
2. Prevent access to offices, buildings, or other University facilities.
3. Pose a danger to the campus.

羞羞视频 is dedicated to learning through free inquiry and rational discourse. We believe an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect, and responsibility is vital to the University’s existence and the achievement of its objectives.

羞羞视频 supports diversity in ideological, political, and intellectual views and does not diminish other people for their views, no matter what their position may be. Where individuals or groups feel called upon to exercise their rights to assemble or otherwise express dissent, they should do so with regard to the rights of others.

Freedom of speech is the right to express one’s opinions and ideas. Criticism of the government and expressing unpopular ideas are included within freedom of speech. However, freedom of speech is not an absolute right and may be restricted at the University by the provisions of the Policy Prohibiting Harassment/Discrimination/Bias (Excludes Claims that Fall under Sexual Harassment/Title IX Policy) and the Title IX Sexual Misconduct Policy.  Moreover, speech that is considered bullying, threatening, or intimidating is prohibited on the campus by the Code of Conduct.

There have been and will be ongoing venues at which members of the 羞羞视频 community have the opportunity to express differing points of view in a safe, respectful manner, guided by an objective facilitator. We encourage all members of our community to take advantage of these opportunities to share differing perspectives.

A student who would like to express a different viewpoint may organize a peaceful protest so long as it conforms with University policies. The Office of the Vice President and Dean of Students can provide guidance and direction to members of the University community in this regard.

Any statements that are considered possibly threatening are referred to the Dean of Students for follow‐up.

Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation of any type will not be tolerated at the University. Nor does 羞羞视频 support bullying, threatening, or intimidating language or behavior. And we always follow up on instances that are reported. Due to the fact that so much shared on social media is posted to private accounts or in circles of friends, if you read something or see something that appears threatening posted on a social platform, do not assume that the threatening message has been seen by campus leadership. The quality and strength of collective experience require each of us to speak up in order to protect a campus culture and climate that we value and seek to foster.

Please refer to the 羞羞视频 Student Handbook beginning on page 30 for more information.

Please refer to the Policy Prohibiting Harassment and Discrimination (Excludes Claims that Fall under Sexual Harassment/Title IX Policy) for more information.

We know that differences of opinion often generate passionately held viewpoints and differences of opinion. Our campus community is made up of thousands of individuals with a wide range of opinions and beliefs, and we are fortunate to have deep resources, including safe spaces, like‐minded faculty and staff, and an office of diversity and inclusion. These resources allow for a myriad of discussions, programs, and offerings that deeply enhance and enrich our campus environment.

Universities should be a place for the exploration of differing ideas—ideas that challenge what we believe and how we view the world—and a community that seeks to bring more light than heat to difficult discussions.

There are many ways for the community to be a part of this discussion. Seek out resources from Student Life. Attend a program put on by one of our many student clubs. Be a champion for free, open, and considerate speech by respecting others’ rights to have opinions that are different from yours. Strive to learn from each other, especially when you see the situation differently.

We invite all members of the 羞羞视频 community to engage in ensuring an environment where all members of our community are respected and valued.
