Freedom of Expression

Freedom of Expression

Support, Resources, and Guidance

 

As an institution of higher education, we encourage and welcome healthy dialog and exchange of ideas. We collaborate across campus to ensure that all members of our community are validated and supported, consistent with our commitment to students’ emotional and physical well-being. At the same time there are guidelines, boundaries, and policies in place to ensure a productive and safe environment for all to learn, teach, work, live, and feel a part of our community. Informed discussions are part of what we do as a college, but it is essential that these discussions are consistent with our time, place, and manner principles. While members of the campus community have the right to express themselves, all have a responsibility, and an obligation, to follow established guidelines and procedures and to comply with College policies, state law, and the rights of others. For additional guidance and questions about student support, we direct you to the resources on this page, to which we refer often and encourage you to do the same. Let’s work together to create an environment where self-expression is carefully balanced with sharing our diverse perspectives in collaborative and respectful ways.
