Freedom of Expression & Dissent Freedom of expression and dissent is protected by College regulations. Dartmouth College prizes and defends the right of free speech and the freedom of the individual to make his or her own disclosures, while at the same time recognizing that such freedom exists in the context of the law and in responsibility for one’s own actions. The exercise of these rights must not deny the same rights to any other individual. The College therefore both fosters and protects the rights of individuals to express dissent.

Academic Honor Principle • Fundamental to the principle of independent learning are the requirements of honesty and integrity in the performance of academic assignments, both in and out of the classroom. Dartmouth operates on the principle of academic honor, without proctoring of examinations…… • The Academic Honor Principle depends on the willingness of students, individually and collectively, to maintain and perpetuate standards of academic honesty. Each Dartmouth student accepts the responsibility to be honorable in the student's own academic affairs, as well as to support the Principle as it applies to others.

Objectives • Share the role and purpose of Title IX and the office • Learn about resources and support and how to access them • Recognize that we all play a role in creating a respectful and inclusive community

What is Title IX? “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. ”

Why do we have a Title IX Office? • Because all members of our community: • Should feel safe and secure in their learning, living, and working environment so that they can fully participate in all of the opportunities Dartmouth provides • Are assured of a fair process to resolve complaints

What does this mean? The College has a duty to respond promptly to incidents of sexual and gender-based harassment, sexual assault, relationship and interpersonal violence, stalking, and retaliation in a way that: 1. eliminates the harm; 2. prevents its reoccurrence; and 3. addresses its effects.

Consent • Consent is an affirmative and willing agreement to engage in specific forms of sexual contact with another person. Consent requires an outward demonstration, through mutually understandable words or actions, indicating that an individual has freely chosen to engage in sexual contact. • Consent cannot be obtained through: 1. the use of coercion or force; or 2. by taking advantage of the incapacitation of another individual. • Silence, passivity, or the absence of resistance does not imply consent. • Consent can be withdrawn by either person at any point.

Dartmouth Pledge I hold myself to the highest standards of learning, teaching, and scholarship. I will conduct myself with integrity, in all matters. As a citizen of this community, I accept several responsibilities. I am responsible for my own education. I will uphold the Academic Honor Principle. I will contribute to this community and conduct myself, here and in the wider world, in a manner worthy of my education. I affirm that in the Dartmouth community: We learn together. We teach one another. We create knowledge together. We treat ourselves and each other with dignity. We recognize that our diverse backgrounds broaden our understanding of the world. We appreciate that the exchange of ideas – especially conflicting ones – strengthens our intellect and makes for an inclusive community.
