Issues of Civility and Zoom Privacy
Our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community represent all races, ethnicities,
religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and abilities — and we benefit
from all perspectives. We are committed to maintaining the dignity, respect, and fair
treatment of all members of our community. Any action that stigmatizes an individual
or a group of people, including expressions of xenophobia, will not be tolerated.
