I believe that the Student Code of Conduct should be retained to protect individuals from demeaning or uncomfortable comments such as racism, sexism, and homophobism. All members of Newberry College deserve an environment that provides maximum academic and personal growth. For that reason, Newberry College Student Code of Conduct should be retained because it unequivocally addresses all forms of ethnic, religious, cultural or radical intolerance on the part of students, faculty, staff and visitors. All members of the Newberry College community should be responsible for creating and respecting conditions in the classroom and campus that courage teaching and learning in an atmosphere of academic freedom. Without a Student Code of Conduct, Newberry College would be unable to …show more content…
Newberry College main goal is to commit in improving the quality of student life by promoting a diversified educational and cultural experience. If Newberry College took away the Student Code of Conduct, Newberry College students will be unable to sustain a healthy relationship with each other due to racism, sexism, and homophobism. Students at Newberry College should not be afraid to be themselves and embrace their heritage, gender, and sexuality. Without the Student Code of Conduct, Newberry College students will be afraid to be themselves and thus hurting their academic growth from reaching its maximum potential. As a Student of Newberry College, I believe that the Student Code of Conduct should be retained because it promotes my quality of college life by promoting a diversified educational and cultural experience without the worry of having demeaning and uncomfortable comments that could potentially ruin my college experience or even my academic
After looking over the Hoover High School code of conduct, there is one rule that I think is not justified. This rule is 3.15, assault upon a student or other person.
Some things change, some things stay the same. The National Education Association (NEA) adopted a code of ethics in 1975 (Strike & Soltis 2009, p. viii). While this code still upholds many concerns that educators face today, it is important to make sure that a code of ethics is a breathing document. It must adapt and change with the changing of time. Strike and Soltis (2009) reference the code of ethics quite regularly throughout the entire book. It is first introduced in full at the beginning of the book. Looking over the code, it is important to remember that much has changed since it was first adopted. While all of the code still applies, it is necessary to add to the code to make it acceptable for the twenty-first century.
We as business owners, management and or in a role of authority must set, address and comply with a solid foundation of ethics. “A code of conduct is the single most important element of your ethics and compliance program. It sets the tone and direction for the entire function. Often, the code is a standalone document, ideally only a few pages in length. It introduces the concept of ethics and compliance and provides an overview of what you mean when you talk about ethical business conduct.”
The North Carolina Code of Ethics can be described as a constitution for fellow educators. The purpose of the North Carolina Code of Ethics is to guarantee a secure, honest, and professional environment for both students and teachers. As the Code of Ethics states, “The educator strives to maintain the respect and confidence of colleagues, students, parents and legal guardians, and the community, and to serve as an appropriate role model”.
Read the Academic Integrity: Student Code of Conduct section in Penn Foster 's Undergraduate Catalog and Student Handbook carefully. Discuss what the policy means to you and include ways that you 've learned
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.” Indeed, free speech is a large block upon which this nation was first constructed, and remains a hard staple of America today; and in few places is that freedom more often utilized than on a college campus. However, there are limitations to our constitutional liberties on campus and they, most frequently, manifest themselves in the form of free speech zones, hate speech and poor university policy. Most school codes are designed to protect students, protect educators and to promote a stable, non-disruptive and non-threatening learning environment. However, students’ verbal freedom
The University of Southern California found themselves in a situation questioning their policies. This time, however, it did not lead to the correct and warranted action. According to Flaherty (2017), the University of Southern California has failed to sufficiently address a student’s harassment allegations against a professor. Although the professor, Dr. Guerrero, was disciplined by the university and warned that any reoccurrence would lead to dismal. Karissa Fenwick, however, was disappointed that he was not terminated after the university determined that misconduct had occurred (Flaherty, 2017). The underlying issue in this article is that American colleges and universities disciplinary measures or lack thereof are failing to
Not many students on U.S. campus can honestly speak what they truly think or what is on their mind, unless they want to face the effect their words might have. Sometimes what they say has consequences behind their words. If everyone had enough courage to say what they actually thought or how they felt, then the majority would have a tolerance built up for harsh words or actions. Since a majority of people take things to heart, many people can get their feelings hurt by small comments made. Then they take out their frustration on others, which causes the problem to get worse. If campuses put speech codes that regulated how people spoke to each other in different settings or occasions, then it would fewer instances of people to being attacked simply for who they are.
The School of Business Honor System and Positive Code of Conduct: The School of Business Assembly has adopted an Honor System proposed by its students and faculty to promote academic integrity and has enacted the following code: “We, the faculty,
Recently in 2015 the topic on college campuses is racially offensive talk. When I first heard about this I was shocked. I never thought of a college ever being a place where you’d find students talking in a racist way. To me school has always been a place where I didn’t think anyone had to worry about hateful or racially offensive speech. But to my surprise many campuses around the United States have this problem and they need to find a way to solve it.
Further more, some point out that safe spaces and trigger warnings are needed in case of someone abusing them with their speech. Some students simply want to be accepted as "normal", so some colleges will take down offensive art or statues to make the students fell more accepted and confrontable. (A New Civil Rights Movement) In addition giving these privileges will help reinforce positive behavior in students. This is making sure that all students of every ethnicity of any ideology in college feel welcomed and comfortable by have both people who support them and are like them.(A New Civil Rights Movement) Implementing political correctness will give every student a chance to politely give their own opinion and ideas, and share their culture to those who are different. It gives students a sense of value, making conversations civilized without being bombarded by people who disagree with them. (A New Civil Rights Movement) Political correctness has it's uses, and is not just about total
Every human being must follow rules and regulation or there are consequences, every place we go, work, visit for pleasure or business they have a code of conduct we must follow. Internet has one too! as the states on Netiquette by Virginia Shea pg 1, “ forgetting that people only are still real” and a book on Netiquette is available to avoid multiple mistakes like harassment, bullying, privacy and integrity. All those mistakes and rules tides perfectly with our online classroom that still is a learning professional environment and as students we also need to follow University of Phoenix student code of conduct. Here are the rules I believe I need to follow and others too; Rule #1 and #2 “ written statements which threaten or violate personal
To address the infractions that plague the school, I, as an administrator, will contact the other high schools in the district to ask if they have had or are having similar problems, and how they have dealt with them or are dealing with them. I would need to know what changes I could make to the student code of conduct while and still be in compliance with the district code of conduct. I would need to know the demographics of the student population, along with the economic position of the parents of our students. This information will help determine to what extent these changes can be implemented. The families’ income influences how students may comply with
Ethics and the Portland Community College (PCC) Policy on Student Conduct go hand in hand, as one refers to doing the right things and the other is a guideline to do the right thing. Ethics is more than just right and wrong, it encompasses three different attributes that one person or a group of people can be. They can be moral, immoral, or amoral. These also go hand in hand, with how that person or group interprets the student conduct policy. The three main areas of the policy for student conduct I will focus on is, 8. Grounds for Disciplinary Actions, 9. Violations and 10. Removal of a Student From Class. I agree with all of these policies, because they enforce the rights of people on campus to be safe and have non-threatening learning
The speech code that I’ve come up for the University of Arizona goes as follows, every student enrolled at the University must respect other students and whatever beliefs they might have, if the student he or she does not agree with another students view on something they should just walk away or say politely that they disagree. Students must respect others religious beliefs in dormitories and libraries, but they may express how they feel about a certain religion inside a classroom as long as it’s in a respectful way that does not involve violence or the use of fighting words that being insulting a particular person for believing in a certain religion. Students must respect others race and ethnicity, they
