Keep your questions and comments relevant to the discussion topic. • If another student posts a comment or question that is off topic, do not reply. The Instructor will reply in private to the student. • Treat your classmates within the forum in a polite and respectful manner. • Model the same standards of behavior online you would follow in a face-to-face discussion. • Do Not use ALL CAPS when posting as this is considered “shouting.” • Do Not “flame” others in forums. Flaming is the “act of responding in a highly critical, sarcastic or ridiculing manner.” Prof. R. Powell 2 CIS 270 CSUDH Equity Statement: It is my position to fully support CSUDH policies and position in promoting equality to all students in their efforts to receive a quality education. It is my desire all students are treated fairly with dignity and respect. CSUDH is committed to promoting inclusive excellence and equal access to education and employment for all students and employees. Part of that commitment is a dedication to the efforts of Title IX, a federal law requiring nondiscrimination on the basis of gender and sex at educational institutions, and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, a federal act that aims to prevent gender-based and sexual violence and harassment, as well as requiring that educational institutions respond when it occurs. Another law that shapes CSUDH’s commitment to equity and inclusion is the Student Safety: Sexual Assault law, which defines the affirmative consent standard for California schools. CSUDH’s Notice of Non-Discrimination, as well as CSU Executive Orders 1095, 1096, and 1097 detail how CSUDH prohibits discrimination, harassment, and violence on the basis of sex or gender and promote a safe, inclusive environment for all staff, faculty, and students. At CSUDH, the Title IX Officer has been designated to ensure prevention education, provision of supportive resources to all of CSUDH, and handle inquiries regarding the non-discrimination policies, including reports of alleged policy violations.
