"Civility in the Classroom?"
Princeton University Specific
Guidelines Related to Civility and Respect for Others
(from their Information Technology Guidelines) -- "Actions
which make the campus environment uncomfortable or hostile
for another person are considered serious offenses by the
University. Contemporary technology makes it possible for
mistakes to be made more rapidly, and spread about more widely,
than ever before. The most difficult error to correct is one
that affronts another's sensibilities, or assaults another's
dignity. When you compose, send, or redistribute electronic
mail or voice mail, when you create or publish postings to
newsgroups, World Wide Web pages, or produce and submit for
campus broadcast video materials, consider whether you would
make identical statements face to face with the person or
people who may read, hear or view your work. The same principles
pertain regarding people or groups you may address outside
the University community as to those within."
