Code of Student Conduct: Rationale

Relevant Excerpt

 While the expression of an idea or point of view may be offensive or inflammatory to some, it is not necessarily a violation of the Code. The University values the open exchange of ideas, and the expression of controversial ideas and differing views is a vital part of the University’s mission. Opinions that may be unpopular and/or contrary to the
University's values and objectives, but do not otherwise violate policy, will not be sanctioned.
