BRIEF: Conduct code not yet submitted

Interim Provost Marvin Lazerson wrote in the Almanac that he was accepting additional comments concerning the conduct code until May 12, intending to "forward my final recommendation to the President shortly thereafter, so that she may take final action on the Code before the end of June." Fagin said Tuesday she had not yet received the final report. "I haven't gotten the recommendation yet from the provost," she said. "I thought I would have it by today, but I don't." Fagin did say, however, that the new Code will still be enacted by June 30 as originally promised. She added that she does not expect the final recommendation to be much different than what appeared in the Almanac. The portion of the code most commonly referred to as the "speech code" currently states that while "the University condemns" many types of hate speech, "the content of student speech or expression is not by itself a basis for disciplinary action." -- Daniel Gingiss
