We affirm the right of freedom of expression within our community and also affirm our commitment to the highest standards of civility and decency towards all. We recognize the right of every individual to think and speak as dictated by personal belief, to express any idea, and to disagree with or counter another's point of view, limited only by university regulations governing time, place and manner. We promote open expression of our individuality and our diversity within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity and respect. We confront and reject all manifestations of discrimination, including those based on race, ethnicity,. | Technical University bergakademie Freiberg Technische Universitảt Bergakademie Freiberg Faculty of economics and Business Administration Fakultảt fur Wirtschaftswissenschaften .
