When one speaks, writes, or creates, he or she should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but his or her special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a person of learning and as a teacher, one should remember that the public might judge the academic profession and the College by one's utterances. Hence one should at all times strive to be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinions of others, and make every effort to indicate that he or she is not speaking for the institution.
