                  St. Olaf College is a place that invites community members of varied experiences and beliefs to engage with each other and to foster an environment where learning occurs. As such, the right to dissent is essential to academic freedom and scholarly pursuits. Dissent in the form of protest against a particular position, action, or situation is permitted.<\/p>\n

                  St. Olaf College encourages the free pursuit of learning and makes every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct. It respects and defends free inquiry, while expecting that in the exchange of criticism and ideas, all will show respect for the views of others. In providing individuals the right to assemble, there must also be room for others in the community to access academic and educational processes, to reside in residential spaces, and to take advantage of normal business operations.<\/p>\n

                  St. Olaf supports students\u2019 freedom to protest while maintaining a safe campus environment. Such protests must proceed within the parameters for student behavior outlined in the Code of Conduct as well as applicable laws and ordinances that apply to protest. For example, the right to assembly also includes the right of access to academic work and community life, along with the normal business operations of the College.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t
