What a good idea! We have a university policy on student classroom and course related behavior http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html Its first statement is as follows: "Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Students who fail to adhere to behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional responsibility to treat students with understanding, dignity and respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the manner in which students express opinions." Hope this is helpful.
