STEVEN TAN Reporter @stevent_roundup

Pierce has guidelines to enforce the code of conduct. Students can express themselves, however, they must be wary of crossing the line, according to campus officials.

Dean of Student Services William Marmolejo said that procedures exist. If an instructor thinks that a student creating an unsafe environment, they are consequences.

"They guidelines are there for a reason so that we can create a safe environment where students could learn and express themselves,” Marmolejo said.

Marmolejo said if students feel threatened, then the threat needs to be removed. He said students should respect each other.

"Each instructor has their own domain, and they should issue warnings to students in the classroom and have a conversation before they kick the student out,” Marmolejo said. “It's OK to express different opinions, but as long as everyone is civil, cordial and respectful to each other."

Vice President of Student Services Earic Dixon-Peters said they have regulations that aid student success.
