In addition:
- We acknowledge and encourage the academic experience to extend beyond the classroom into our living environment.
- We expect a campus free of incidents that create a hostile living environment.
- We expect a healthy and responsible attitude to accompany all social gatherings.
- Intoxication will not be an excuse for incidents that occur while under the influence.
- We expect that diversity of opinion will be encouraged and respected; students should be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

- The members of our campus community shall respect the rights of other persons regardless of their actual or perceived age, color, creed, able-bodiness, neurodiversity, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
