Netiquette --appropriate online behavior-- is defined by the instructor and includes keeping
course discussion posts focused on the assigned topics. Students must maintain a cordial
atmosphere and use tact in expressing differences of opinion. Inappropriate discussion posts
may be deleted by the instructor.
If you deem content shared by an instructor or student offensive, bring it to the attention of
the instructor or, alternatively, to the unit chair or director.
The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities accepts incident reports from students,
faculty, staff, or other persons who believe that a student or a student organization may
have violated the Student Code of Conduct.

Policy on Discrimination
Arizona State University is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination,
harassment, or retaliation for the entire university community, including all students, faculty
members, staff employees, and guests.
Title VII
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that provides that no person be
discriminated against based on certain specified characteristics: sex, race, color, national
origin and religion, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and
genetic information. ASU expressly prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by
employees, students, contractors, or agents of the university based on any protected status.
Inappropriate conduct need not rise to the level of a violation of federal or state law to
constitute a violation of this policy and to warrant disciplinary action/sanctions.
Title IX
Title IX is a federal law that provides that no person be excluded on the basis of sex from
participation in, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education
program or activity. Both Title IX and university policy make clear that sexual violence and
harassment based on sex is prohibited. An individual who believes they have been subjected
to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex can seek support, including counseling and
academic support, from the university. If you or someone you know has been harassed on
the basis of sex or sexually assaulted, you can find information and resources at
