Freedom of Expression

Expressions of views and freedom of discussion should be encouraged and protected. The instructor has the responsibility and authority to maintain order and appropriate academic environment, but his/her authority must not be used to suppress the expression of views related to the subject which are contrary to his/her own. Students are responsible for learning the content of any course for which they are enrolled. Requirements of participation in classroom discussion and submission of written exercises are not inconsistent with this section.

Academic evaluation by instructors of student performance shall be neither prejudicial nor capricious.

Information about student views, beliefs, and associations acquired by College personnel in the course of their work is confidential and shall not be disclosed to persons other than College officials acting in an official capacity, except with the consent, either expressed or implied, of the student or under legal compulsion.
