As we enter this period of study days and final exams, we all must be mindful that our students, faculty, and staff are fully engaged in completing coursework, finishing final papers, preparing for and taking exams, and fulfilling other end-of-year requirements. It is particularly important during these last weeks of the semester that we respect the hard and focused work that our community is immersed in and do all that we can to maintain an academic and campus environment that supports their work. During this critical period of the semester the risk of disruption of academic activity by protests and demonstrations is more pronounced. Such disruptions would constitute violations of the Rules of University Conduct and would be processed accordingly.
