University of Iowa's Human Right Policy The University of Iowa brings together in common pursuit of its educational goals persons of many nations, races, and creeds. The University is guided by the precepts that in no aspect of its programs shall there be differences in the treatment of persons because of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other classification that deprives the person of consideration as an individual, and that equal opportunity and access to facilities shall be available to all. Among the classifications that deprive the person of consideration as an individual are those based on associational preference. These principles are expected to be observed in the internal policies and practices of the University; specifically in the admission, housing, and education of students; in policies governing programs of extracurricular life and activities; and in the employment of faculty and staff personnel. The University shall work cooperatively with the community in furthering these principles. Classroom Policy 1. A number of assignments will be given throughout the semester. These assignments require the student to read and accomplish homework or projects. Students are encouraged to discuss problems; but accomplish by him/herself. He/she can also contact the instructor through email or our instructional tools, and online office hours. Delay of handing in assigned work are not acceptable. 2. In working the assignments, each student must work on his/her own homework or projects. - under no circumstances may any part of a homework or projects be copied (electronically or manually) from one student to another. Failure to follow this rule will be treated as academic misconduct and proper disciplinary actions will be initiated. 3. The instructor needs to hear from anyone who has a disability which may require some modification of seating, testing or other class requirements so that appropriate arrangements may be made.
