Policy 203 - Freedom of Expression

Students, faculty, administrators, and staff shall be intellectually free to express their scholarship and reasoned conclusions by orderly means which do not disrupt the regular and essential operations of the College. We honor the right of expression as a hallmark of learning, and we treasure intellectual freedom even when individual or group points of view are controversial or out of favor with prevailing perspectives.

A complete explanation of freedom of expression can be found in WAC 132M-126-025.
