I will not use offensive language or words that are obscene, racist, sexist, or otherwise hurtful Be courteous and considerate of others Accept and embrace our similarities and differences Be open minded to views other than my own and be willing to compromise Reach out to others who may need my help Agree to disagree when our opinions differ rather than trying to force my opinions or feelings on you I accept this code as my obligation to promote responsible citizenship. *Adapted from an original version created by students, faculty and staff as an outcome of the civility conference held on February 6, 2007 Please Note: The student handbook is also available online.
