Students' Rights and Responsibilities

香港六合彩官网开奖 exists for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general well being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of this academic community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. Procedures for achieving these purposes may vary from school or college to school or college, but the minimal standards of academic freedom of students outlined below are essential to this community of scholars.

Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility.

The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the 香港六合彩官网开奖 academic community.

This document is to be interpreted in accordance with the stated nature, purpose, and objectives of the University. 香港六合彩官网开奖 students are responsible for the contents of the University Catalog and Student Handbook.

Student Responsibilities

The relationship between the student and the University is one of contract. The terms of the contract are stated in the institution's catalog (bulletin), Student Handbook and other publications. Under the terms of this contract, the students have certain rights. They also have certain academic responsibilities.

It is the responsibility of students to:

  1. Be aware of the educational objectives of the institution and to observe them.

  2. Comprehend the institution's criteria for evaluating student success in all academic programs.听

  3. Measure up to the institution's standards for academic progress and continuance in programs for graduation. The institution is under no obligation to grant a degree or keep the student if the student fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress.听

  4. Understand all the degree requirements for graduation that were published at the time the student began his /her program.

  5. Complete all the requirements to earn a degree.听

  6. Learn all their rights.

    1. Statutory rights - laws passed by Congress.

    2. Privacy rights - information in student records and protection from improper disclosures.

    3. Consumer rights - the right to get what is paid for and advertised by the institution.

    4. Civil or federal rights - rights secured under the federal Constitution or federal civil rights law. (Freedom of expression, assembly).

  7. To make their own academic decisions. Advising is an implied contract between the student and the institution. Advisors are the agents of the University and students may rely on the advisor's information. The advisor is there to inform; the students make the decision.听

  8. Conduct their academic affairs in a forthright and honest manner. If students are suspected of classroom cheating, plagiarism, falsification of University records, or otherwise in representing their work, they will be subject to procedural due process.

  9. Take appropriate action when informed of grade deficiencies. The students should seek information from the professor, or withdraw from the course.听

  10. Know their full due process guarantees and understand the appeals procedures.

Freedom of Access

香港六合彩官网开奖 is open to all students who are qualified according to its published admission standards. No student is barred on the basis of race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, familial status, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability status, or veteran status.

Except for published limitations, the facilities and services of the University are open to all of its enrolled students. 香港六合彩官网开奖 will use its influence to secure for all students' equal access to public facilities in the local community.

II. Academic Freedom of Students

香港六合彩官网开奖 students have a right to quality instruction and/or educational experiences in each course of study, to overview of the course, and to the teaching strategies to be used by the instructor.听

The following rights are guaranteed:

  1. Attendance: 听Students have the right to the presence of the instructor according to the course schedule published by the instructor at the beginning of each course. Students are responsible for taking full advantage of the opportunities and conditions provided in the classroom.

  2. 听Protection of freedom of expression: 听香港六合彩官网开奖 instructors should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Students are free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled.听

  3. Protection against improper academic evaluation: 听Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on the basis of student opinion and/or conduct unrelated to academic standards. Grading should be based upon stated academic requirements that shall be clearly specified by the instructor at the beginning of each course of study. 听Students have protection through orderly procedures as stated in the University catalog, against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. 听At the same time, they are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled.

  4. Protection against improper disclosure: 听Information on student views, beliefs, and political association which instructors may acquire in the course of their work as teachers, advisors, and counselors is considered confidential. 听Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, normally with the knowledge of the student.听

III. Learning Environment

All students are expected to support the University's commitment to provide an effective learning environment. Any behaviors and/or events determined to be detrimental to success in any 香港六合彩官网开奖 related academic pursuit, at a location where the 香港六合彩官网开奖 learning process takes place, are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, bringing unauthorized visitors, e.g., children, friends, or other family members to classrooms; and usage of cell phones, pagers, radios or radio headsets, especially in campus libraries, classroom, laboratories, computer labs, or any location where the 香港六合彩官网开奖 learning process takes place.

  7. No record shall be kept of the political views of students or of student membership in any organization other than academic, honorary, professional, and social organizations directly related to campus life.

  9. Records maintained by individual faculty members or by other instructional, supervisory, or administrative personnel for their own use are not considered University records for the purposes of the Act or of these guidelines, provided they are in the sole possession of the maker of the records and are not revealed to any other person except a substitute.听

    A student who believes that information contained in his or her records is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, may request that the University official who maintains the records amend them. 听The University will decide whether to amend the education records of the student in accordance with the request within a reasonable period of time of receipt of the request. The official who maintains the records has a responsibility to consult with appropriate officials of the University for further determination or confirmation. If the University decides to refuse to amend the education records of the student in accordance with the request, it will so inform the student of the refusal, and advise the student of the right to a hearing.

  2. Hearing Procedure

The Provost shall designate a hearing committee which will include one administrator other than the one who has denied the request, two faculty members, and two students. The decision of the hearing committee shall be final, except that final appeal to the President of the University remains open.

    The challenge to be considered in such hearings may extend only to the material in the respective University file, e.g., it may extend to the correct recording of a grade but not to the appropriateness of the grade.

    Students, dissatisfied with the results of a hearing may place a statement in the education record in question commenting upon the information therein, and/or setting forth any reason for disagreement with the institutional decision not to correct or amend the record. Such a statement shall become a part of the information contained in the education record and will be disclosed with it.

IX. Release of Information

  1. Below are the policy statements and guidelines used by 香港六合彩官网开奖 with regard to release of information.

    1. University officials who have a legitimate educational interest shall have access to academic records. Such officials include faculty, administration, clerical and professional employees and other persons who manage student record information insofar as they act in the student's educational interest and within the limitations of their need to know. Access is also granted to school officials for research purposes so long as anonymity is preserved.

    2. At its discretion, 香港六合彩官网开奖 may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, local and home addresses, postal box, telephone number, electronic mail address, photo, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic teams.

      The policy that such information will be made generally available will be communicated to students through the publication of these guidelines. An individual student may request that such directory information not be disclosed by notifying the Registrar, in writing, when registering or no later than the first day of class of the semester or term. Requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the institution for only one academic year (July 1 - June 30); therefore, authorization to withhold directory information must be filed annually in the Office of the Registrar.

    3. A transcript of a student's official academic record contains information about academic attainment and status exclusively. Only the Registrar is authorized to issue transcripts or to certify in any way the official academic record of a student. An official transcript is issued only when requested in writing by the student.

      Copies of transcripts may be issued, upon request, without such authorization only to parents of a student who is financially dependent upon them. Payment of a student's bill to the University by the parents will be taken as evidence of financial dependence unless the student informs the Registrar in writing to the contrary. Copies may also be issued, with the written consent of the student as indicated on his/her registration form or application for financial aid, to persons or agencies financially responsible for a student's tuition, such as the ordinary of a diocese, the superior or a religious institute, a governmental agency, or a scholarship fund.

    4. Information from conduct records, as defined above, shall not be made available to persons, on or off campus, except to superiors of the Vice President for Mission and Student Engagement within the University administration, and/or to be used in the University's student conduct process without the expressed consent of the student involved.

      The University will retain conduct records for seven years after graduation. Records may also be maintained for an indefinite period of time if a student (1) is expelled for conduct reasons; (2) withdraws from the University prior to resolution of a pending conduct matter; or (3) has a Hold Flag activated on his/her University academic record or account. The University may disclose the final results of a disciplinary proceeding against a student found in violation of a University policy, rule, regulation or standard of conduct involving any crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense. The University will only release the name of the student found in violation, the violation committed and any sanctions imposed on the student.

    5. Information from financial aid and employment records as defined above shall not be made available to anyone without the prior expressed written consent of the student involved except to confirm employment or to supply appropriate references to subsequent employers upon request of the student. Any and all financial data and income tax forms submitted in confidence by the student's parents shall not be released without their prior expressed written consent.

    6. Medical, psychological, and counseling records, as defined in Section IV (E) are governed by the strictest canons of professional conduct and confidentiality. Information from these records shall not be made available to anyone other than the persons providing the medical, psychological, and counseling treatment except that they can be reviewed by a physician or other appropriate professionals of the student's choice.

      Persons from outside the academic community shall not be permitted personal access to a student's records or greater information than provided herein or in the Act without the prior express written consent of the student or unless subpoena or other legal process is served on the University. Following such service, the University shall immediately notify the student affected. In addition, the University will comply with such process only upon the advice of counsel. To fully protect the confidentiality of student records, counsel for the University will be asked not merely to advise a prudent course, but to use every reasonable legal method to test the validity of and to resist such subpoena or other process. Personal information shall only be transferred to a third party on the condition that such party will not permit any other party to have access to such information without the written consent of the student. All persons desiring access to the records of a student shall be required to sign a written form which shall be kept permanently with the file of the student, but only for inspection by the student, indicating specifically the legitimate educational or other interest that said person has in seeking this information.

XII. Student Participation in Institutional Government

As constituents of the 香港六合彩官网开奖 academic community, students are free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of institutional policy and on matters of general interest to the student body.

To give effect to this principle, students should have representation on those University committees which specifically address student life and/or student academic issues, e.g. departmental advisory committees, honors committee, and school curriculum committees.

  1. Off-Campus Freedom of Students

    Exercise of Rights of Citizenship:听香港六合彩官网开奖 students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, student enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, the rights of petition that other citizens enjoy, and, as members of the academic community, they are subject to the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. Faculty members and administrative officials shall insure that institutional powers are not employed to inhibit such intellectual and personal development of students as is often promoted by their exercise of rights of citizenship both on and off campus.

  2. Institutional Authority and Civil Penalties:

    Activities of students may upon occasion result in violation of law. Students who violate the law may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities, but institutional authority shall never be used merely to duplicate the function of general laws. Only where the institution's interests as an academic community are distinctly and clearly involved, shall the special authority of the institution be asserted. The student who incidentally violates institutional regulations in the course of his off-campus activity shall be subject to no greater penalty than is normally imposed. Institutional action shall always be independent of community pressure.

XIII. Life and Welfare听

  1. Student Government: The role of the Student Government Association is set forth in the constitution and by-laws of the association and the actions of student government within their jurisdiction may be reviewed only through orderly and prescribed procedures.

  2. Freedom of Association: Students bring to the campus a variety of interests. They are free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests.

    1. The membership, policies and actions of a student organization shall be determined by vote of only those students who hold bona fide membership in that 香港六合彩官网开奖 organization.

    2. Affiliation with an extramural organization shall not, of itself, disqualify a student organization from institutional recognition provided the organization is not in conflict with the purpose of the University.

    3. Each student organization must have at least one campus advisor, who is an employee of the University, chosen by the students. The advisor may counsel in the exercise of responsibility but shall not have the authority to control the organization.

    4. Student organizations are required to submit a constitution and by-laws, criteria for membership, and a current list of officers to the director of the Office for Student Life as a condition of institutional recognition. They are also required to submit a membership roster. Complete requirements for student organizations are listed in the Office for Student Life.

    5. Campus organizations, including those affiliated with an extramural organization shall be open to all students interested in the objectives of the organization and who meet the criteria for membership. No student may be denied membership because of听race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, familial status, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability status, or veteran status.

  3. Freedom of Inquiry and Expression:

    1. Students and student organizations are free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and to express opinions publicly and privately. They are free to support causes by orderly means which do not disrupt the regular and essential operation of the institution. At the same time, it should be made clear to the academic and the larger community that in their public expressions or demonstrations, students or student organizations speak only for themselves and not for the University.

    2. With the approval of the Office for Student Life, students may invite and hear qualified and responsible speaker(s) of their choosing. 听Routine procedures required in relation to guest speakers on campus shall be designated only to insure orderly scheduling of facilities and adequate preparation for the event, and that the occasion is conducted in a manner appropriate to an academic community. The institutional control of campus facilities shall not be used as a device of censorship. Sponsorship of guest speakers does not imply advocacy or endorsement of the views expressed, either by the sponsoring group or the institution.

    3. Student Publications and Media

      Student publications, the student press and student media are valuable aids in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and of intellectual exploration on the campus. They are media for bringing student concerns to the attention of the faculty and the administration and for the formulating student opinion on various issues on the campus and in the world at large.

      香港六合彩官网开奖, as publisher and manager, bears the legal responsibility of the contents of the student publications and programs broadcast in student media. In the delegation of editorial responsibility to students, the University provides sufficient editorial freedom for the student publications and media to maintain their integrity of purpose as vehicles of free inquiry and free expression in the 香港六合彩官网开奖 academic community.

      The delegated editorial freedom of student editors and managers entails corollary responsibilities to be governed by the mission of the University and by the canons of responsible journalism and programming, such as the avoidance of libel, indecent, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity and the techniques of harassment and innuendo.

      As safeguards for the delegated editorial freedom of student publications, the following provisions are made:

      1. Editors and managers of student publications shall be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of student, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content. Only for proper and stated causes shall editors and managers by subject to removal, and then by orderly and prescribed procedures.听

      2. All University published and financed student publications and medial shall explicitly state on the editorial page and on the air that the opinions therein expressed are not necessarily those of 香港六合彩官网开奖 or of the student body.

    Since documents written or solicited after January l, 1975 may be kept confidential only if the student has waived access thereto in writing, a form of waiver shall be provided for the voluntary use of applicants in their request for recommendations. Any recommendation submitted under condition of confidentiality but without written waiver of access by the applicant shall be returned to the sender.

    The placement records maintained by the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services may be inspected by the subject of the file, with the exception of recommendations or evaluations which have been received with the student's written waiver of access.

    Student inspection of records is granted only upon written request, presented in person with appropriate identification, and must be made in the presence of designated personnel of the office maintaining the records. All requests shall be granted as soon as practicable, but in no event later than forty-five days after the date of request. No documents or files may be altered or removed once a request has been filed.

    A student may receive a copy of any and all records to which he/she has lawful access, upon payment of the announced fee except when a hold has been placed on his/her record pending the payment of debts owed the University or when he/she requests a copy of a transcript, the original of which is held elsewhere.

    1. Amendment of Records

      A student who believes that information contained in his or her records is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, may request that the University official who maintains the records amend them. 听The University will decide whether to amend the education records of the student in accordance with the request within a reasonable period of time of receipt of the request. The official who maintains the records has a responsibility to consult with appropriate officials of the University for further determination or confirmation. If the University decides to refuse to amend the education records of the student in accordance with the request, it will so inform the student of the refusal, and advise the student of the right to a hearing.

    2. Hearing Procedure

      Should the request for a change be denied, the student may, within thirty days, appeal the decision to the Provost and ask for a hearing. The Provost shall designate a hearing committee which will include one administrator other than the one who has denied the request, two faculty members, and two students. The decision of the hearing committee shall be final, except that final appeal to the President of the University remains open.

      The challenge to be considered in such hearings may extend only to the material in the respective University file, e.g., it may extend to the correct recording of a grade but not to the appropriateness of the grade.

      Students, dissatisfied with the results of a hearing may place a statement in the education record in question commenting upon the information therein, and/or setting forth any reason for disagreement with the institutional decision not to correct or amend the record. Such a statement shall become a part of the information contained in the education record and will be disclosed with it.

  • The placement file of a student maintained in the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services is assembled at the initiative of the student. The extent of disclosure to prospective employers, graduate schools, organizations awarding fellowships, and the like shall be made clear and agreed to by the student when he/she requests that the file be assembled.

    The student may make a specific waiver of access to evaluations solicited and/or received under condition of confidentiality, but the waiver must be made by the student without pressure or coercion. Any evaluation received under such condition of confidentiality without the student's waiver of access or without the student's knowledge shall not be incorporated in the file but shall be returned to the sender.

    1. No entry may be made on a student's official records and no document or entry may be placed in such records without written notice to the student by the responsible administrative officials mentioned above.

    2. Notification of grades, written communication to a student or school or departmental evaluation, and announcement of honors, however, constitute adequate notice. A document or entry supplied by or at the request of the student may be placed in the student's record without additional notice to him/her.

    1. Below are the policy statements and guidelines used by 香港六合彩官网开奖 with regard to release of information.
      1. University officials who have a legitimate educational interest shall have access to academic records. Such officials include faculty, administration, clerical and professional employees and other persons who manage student record information insofar as they act in the student's educational interest and within the limitations of their need to know. Access is also granted to school officials for research purposes so long as anonymity is preserved.

      2. At its discretion, 香港六合彩官网开奖 may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, local and home addresses, postal box, telephone number, electronic mail address, photo, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic teams.

        The policy that such information will be made generally available will be communicated to students through the publication of these guidelines. An individual student may request that such directory information not be disclosed by notifying the Registrar, in writing, when registering or no later than the first day of class of the semester or term. Requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the institution for only one academic year (July 1 - June 30); therefore, authorization to withhold directory information must be filed annually in the Office of the Registrar.

      3. A transcript of a student's official academic record contains information about academic attainment and status exclusively. Only the Registrar is authorized to issue transcripts or to certify in any way the official academic record of a student. An official transcript is issued only when requested in writing by the student.

        Copies of transcripts may be issued, upon request, without such authorization only to parents of a student who is financially dependent upon them. Payment of a student's bill to the University by the parents will be taken as evidence of financial dependence unless the student informs the Registrar in writing to the contrary. Copies may also be issued, with the written consent of the student as indicated on his/her registration form or application for financial aid, to persons or agencies financially responsible for a student's tuition, such as the ordinary of a diocese, the superior or a religious institute, a governmental agency, or a scholarship fund.

      4. Information from conduct records, as defined above, shall not be made available to persons, on or off campus, except to superiors of the Vice President for Mission and Student Engagement within the University administration, and/or to be used in the University's student conduct process without the expressed consent of the student involved.

        The University will retain conduct records for seven years after graduation. Records may also be maintained for an indefinite period of time if a student (1) is expelled for conduct reasons; (2) withdraws from the University prior to resolution of a pending conduct matter; or (3) has a Hold Flag activated on his/her University academic record or account. The University may disclose the final results of a disciplinary proceeding against a student found in violation of a University policy, rule, regulation or standard of conduct involving any crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense. The University will only release the name of the student found in violation, the violation committed and any sanctions imposed on the student.

      5. Information from financial aid and employment records as defined above shall not be made available to anyone without the prior expressed written consent of the student involved except to confirm employment or to supply appropriate references to subsequent employers upon request of the student. Any and all financial data and income tax forms submitted in confidence by the student's parents shall not be released without their prior expressed written consent.

      6. Medical, psychological, and counseling records, as defined in Section IV (E) are governed by the strictest canons of professional conduct and confidentiality. Information from these records shall not be made available to anyone other than the persons providing the medical, psychological, and counseling treatment except that they can be reviewed by a physician or other appropriate professionals of the student's choice.

        Persons from outside the academic community shall not be permitted personal access to a student's records or greater information than provided herein or in the Act without the prior express written consent of the student or unless subpoena or other legal process is served on the University. Following such service, the University shall immediately notify the student affected. In addition, the University will comply with such process only upon the advice of counsel. To fully protect the confidentiality of student records, counsel for the University will be asked not merely to advise a prudent course, but to use every reasonable legal method to test the validity of and to resist such subpoena or other process. Personal information shall only be transferred to a third party on the condition that such party will not permit any other party to have access to such information without the written consent of the student. All persons desiring access to the records of a student shall be required to sign a written form which shall be kept permanently with the file of the student, but only for inspection by the student, indicating specifically the legitimate educational or other interest that said person has in seeking this information.

  • The fee for a transcript is $10.00; the fee for other records is 10 cents per page. These fees are subject to change.听 Please see听current transcript fee schedule.

    6. Organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests, administering student aid programs, and improving instruction, if such studies are conducted in such a manner as will not permit the personal identification of students and their parents by persons other than representatives of such organizations and such information will be destroyed when no longer needed for the purpose for which it is conducted;听

  • As constituents of the 香港六合彩官网开奖 academic community, students are free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of institutional policy and on matters of general interest to the student body.

    To give effect to this principle, students should have representation on those University committees which specifically address student life and/or student academic issues, e.g. departmental advisory committees, honors committee, and school curriculum committees.

    1. Off-Campus Freedom of Students

      Exercise of Rights of Citizenship:听香港六合彩官网开奖 students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, student enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, the rights of petition that other citizens enjoy, and, as members of the academic community, they are subject to the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. Faculty members and administrative officials shall insure that institutional powers are not employed to inhibit such intellectual and personal development of students as is often promoted by their exercise of rights of citizenship both on and off campus.

    2. Institutional Authority and Civil Penalties:

      Activities of students may upon occasion result in violation of law. Students who violate the law may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities, but institutional authority shall never be used merely to duplicate the function of general laws. Only where the institution's interests as an academic community are distinctly and clearly involved, shall the special authority of the institution be asserted. The student who incidentally violates institutional regulations in the course of his off-campus activity shall be subject to no greater penalty than is normally imposed. Institutional action shall always be independent of community pressure.

    1. Student Government: The role of the Student Government Association is set forth in the constitution and by-laws of the association and the actions of student government within their jurisdiction may be reviewed only through orderly and prescribed procedures.

    2. Freedom of Association: Students bring to the campus a variety of interests. They are free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests.

      1. The membership, policies and actions of a student organization shall be determined by vote of only those students who hold bona fide membership in that 香港六合彩官网开奖 organization.

      2. Affiliation with an extramural organization shall not, of itself, disqualify a student organization from institutional recognition provided the organization is not in conflict with the purpose of the University.

      3. Each student organization must have at least one campus advisor, who is an employee of the University, chosen by the students. The advisor may counsel in the exercise of responsibility but shall not have the authority to control the organization.

      4. Student organizations are required to submit a constitution and by-laws, criteria for membership, and a current list of officers to the director of the Office for Student Life as a condition of institutional recognition. They are also required to submit a membership roster. Complete requirements for student organizations are listed in the Office for Student Life.

      5. Campus organizations, including those affiliated with an extramural organization shall be open to all students interested in the objectives of the organization and who meet the criteria for membership. No student may be denied membership because of听race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, familial status, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability status, or veteran status.

    3. Freedom of Inquiry and Expression:

      1. Students and student organizations are free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and to express opinions publicly and privately. They are free to support causes by orderly means which do not disrupt the regular and essential operation of the institution. At the same time, it should be made clear to the academic and the larger community that in their public expressions or demonstrations, students or student organizations speak only for themselves and not for the University.

      2. With the approval of the Office for Student Life, students may invite and hear qualified and responsible speaker(s) of their choosing. 听Routine procedures required in relation to guest speakers on campus shall be designated only to insure orderly scheduling of facilities and adequate preparation for the event, and that the occasion is conducted in a manner appropriate to an academic community. The institutional control of campus facilities shall not be used as a device of censorship. Sponsorship of guest speakers does not imply advocacy or endorsement of the views expressed, either by the sponsoring group or the institution.

      3. Student Publications and Media

        Student publications, the student press and student media are valuable aids in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and of intellectual exploration on the campus. They are media for bringing student concerns to the attention of the faculty and the administration and for the formulating student opinion on various issues on the campus and in the world at large.

        香港六合彩官网开奖, as publisher and manager, bears the legal responsibility of the contents of the student publications and programs broadcast in student media. In the delegation of editorial responsibility to students, the University provides sufficient editorial freedom for the student publications and media to maintain their integrity of purpose as vehicles of free inquiry and free expression in the 香港六合彩官网开奖 academic community.

        The delegated editorial freedom of student editors and managers entails corollary responsibilities to be governed by the mission of the University and by the canons of responsible journalism and programming, such as the avoidance of libel, indecent, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity and the techniques of harassment and innuendo.

        As safeguards for the delegated editorial freedom of student publications, the following provisions are made:

        1. Editors and managers of student publications shall be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of student, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content. Only for proper and stated causes shall editors and managers by subject to removal, and then by orderly and prescribed procedures.听

        2. All University published and financed student publications and medial shall explicitly state on the editorial page and on the air that the opinions therein expressed are not necessarily those of 香港六合彩官网开奖 or of the student body.
