Essential to the achievement of these standards are the freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal opportunity for all.<\/p>\n<p>2. Our primary concern is the student and the development of the student&#8217;s potential. Therefore, employees will strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the bestprofessional judgment and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>3. Concern for the student requires that our instructional personnel:<\/p>\n<p>a.

Shall not unreasonably restrain a student from independent action in pursuit of learning.<\/p>\n<p>c. Shall not unreasonably deny a student access to diverse points of view.<br \/>d. Shall not intentionally suppress or distort subject matter relevant to a student&#8217;s academic program.<br \/>e. Shall not intentionally expose a student to unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement. f. Shall not intentionally violate or deny a student&#8217;s legal rights.<br \/>g. Shall not harass or discriminate against any student on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, marital status, handicapping condition, sexual orientation, or social and family background and shall make reasonable effort to assure that each student is protected from harassment or discrimination.<br \/>h. Shall not exploit a relationship with a student for personal gain or advantage.<br \/>i.
