appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,

Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be tolerated

each have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learning
environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards
may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional
responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and
respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional
courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,
