In response to "Can an agreement to abide by the school's code of conduct ("don't be racist") as a condition for enrollment" by TWuG

Don't be racist isn't in the code of conduct. I can't imagine this will be upheld.

Under Student Responsibilities:

1. Abusive conduct: Unwelcome conduct that is sufficiently severe and pervasive that it alters the
conditions of education or employment and creates an environment that a reasonable person would
find intimidating, harassing or humiliating. These circumstances could include the frequency of the
conduct, its severity, and whether it is threatening or humiliating. This includes physically abusing
a person or holding a person against his or her will. Simple teasing, offhanded comments and
isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not amount to abusive conduct.

I don't think a 10 second video is going to qualify as abusive conduct.

Plus, they did stomp all over their Student Rights section in expelling them the way they did.

looks like it would come down to "harassing or humiliating" vs "teasing, offhanded comments" - Max Mar 13, 11:17 2
- The whole CoC is very vague about so much, I can't imagine if it gets challenged it could stick. - ???? Mar 13, 11:21 1
  - Most CoCs are like that though. It's not as though they can be like "these are the seven words you cannot say" - Roger More Mar 13, 11:28
