Dissent Policy
Students at Guilford are both citizens and members of their academic community. As citizens, students enjoy the freedoms of speech, peaceful assembly and right of petition that other citizens enjoy, and, as members of the academic community, they are responsible to obligations that come to them by virtue of this membership. The college is committed to free and open inquiry into matters of social, political and economic concern and encourages the presentation of all views on such issues. All members of the Guilford community are encouraged to express and demonstrate dissent by orderly means. No person is to be penalized for such demonstrations provided there is no disruption of any function of the college, interference with the rights of others or violation of college policy or regulations.
