How about SC just do away with the whole code of conduct in general? It's a theoretical piece of shit and has no practical value. I say this especially after all the arguing that's transpired over the past 24 hours and my general disgust with some of the posting of instructors here...[very few on the planet but me would notice or care].
Overall, think going gentler on students/new individuals anywhere is the only acceptable approach to teaching/living. The problem with things like codes of conduct or talk of politeness or respect is how couched in highly normative/exclusive/dominant social ideas they are. >From what I've noticed; this is a very diverse group compared to most academic related places and makes for all sorts of alien talk. Learning to fight/discuss through our differences in a much more productive approach than going fascist on everything....even if this is a company [authoritative space]. My thoughts, S.G.
