The University of Oklahoma is committed to the free, spirited and safe exchange of ideas. The Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities acknowledges that the University cannot punish or censor student speech based on its content. While we encourage the exchange of ideas and free speech we also acknowledge that we are not free from the consequences or harms of such speech. When bias, hate or harmful speech occurs it can inhibit a person’s ability to thrive on campus and we are here to provide an opportunity to heal.
