• "Metropolitan State College of Denver endorses the principle of Academic Freedom, understood to mean freedom to discuss academic subjects fully, ... freedom to write or speak as citizens without fear of institutional censorship or discipline,..."

• "In the classroom, freedom of expression on academic subjects is respected and encouraged for students and faculty alike, within the framework of the course syllabus and student and faculty codes of conduct."
• "It is important that everyone in the class be aware of and assume responsibility for the preservation of an atmosphere of mutual respect and civil dialogue in the classroom."
• Under 3: "Both students and faculty members have academic freedom. Metro policies on classroom disruption should not be used to silence dissent from the majority view or the instructor^Òs view. The peaceful and respectful expression of a disagreement with the faculty or other students is not in itself 'disruptive' behavior, even if it is couched in passionate tones and overblown rhetoric."
