Academic Freedom
This institution is committed to assuring full academic freedom to all faculty members. Confident in the qualifications and expertise of its faculty members, the college encourages its faculty members to exercise their individual judgments regarding the content of the assigned courses, organization of topics and instructional methods, providing only that these judgments are made within the context of the course descriptions as currently published, and providing that the instructional methods are those official sanctioned by the institution. This institution's ownership believes that the most important diversity that can accrue to the benefit of students is the diversity of thought that results from free discussion, the open expression of viewpoints and opinions on the subject matter at hand, and the diversity of thought that results from the free exercise of research and original thinking in the academic fields related to the institution's course offerings. This institution, therefore, supports and encourages instructors and students to engage in discussionand dialog. Students and faculty members alike are encouraged to freely express views as long as they believe it would advance understanding in the specialized discipline being studied.

This institution is committed to providing a work environment that is free of discrimination, intimidation and harassment.
In keeping with this commitment, we believe that it is necessary to affirmatively address this subject and express our strong disapproval of sexual harassment. No one associate with this institution may engage in verbal abuse of a sexual nature; use sexually degrading or graphic words to describe an individual or an individual's body; or display sexually suggestive objects or pictures at this campus. Students are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner consistent with the spirit and intent of this policy.
