- Faculty are
entitled to freedom in discussing their subject, but the should be careful not
to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to
their subject.
- When faculty
members and staff communicate as individuals, they should be free from
institutional discipline and censorship, but their special position in the
community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational staff, they
should keep in mind that the public may judge their profession and their
university by the utterances.
- Faculty members
and staff should always strive to be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint,
and respect the opinions of others in the community; they should also make
effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the university when expressing
their personal opinion.
