It must be made very clear, however, that in any and every public expression or demonstration, students, faculty, and staff, as well as any organization, speak only for themselves and not for the College. Institutional control should not be used as a means of censorship. D. Students, faculty, and staff as members of the state and academic community enjoy the rights and privileges of such membership and are subject to the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of the membership. Institutional authority should never be used to duplicate the functions of civil law. E. Free discussion, inquiry, and expression in every course is encouraged.
Students are free to take reasoned exception to the information or views offered in any course.
Student performance is to be evaluated solely on an academic basis, and students are responsible for learning the content of any course of study.
