“We may well never have a case
under this code, but it’s something we
need to consider,” he said.

students to file charges with Student
Judicial Affairs.
David Moshman, professor of
educational psychology, agreed that
the university should take a stand on
fighting words. Hill said he has con

The policy should include abusive
sexist and anti-gay references as well
as racist ones, Moshman said.
“There needs to be a clear under
standing that people are clearly able
to express their ideas,” he said.
Yolanda Scott, interim president
of D.R.E.A.M. (Developing Realis
tic Educational Activities for Minori
ties), said most minority leaders on
campus support the proposal.
“I think that people will become
more cautious of words that would be
perceived as fighting words,” Scott
said. “People will be thinking before
they speak.”
Although the policy would not end
racial problems on campus, it would
help the university “deal with racial
discrimination” and would be a de

Griesen said he will try to finish
formulating a policy for UNL stu

next few weeks.
A change in the student code of
conduct must be recommended by
the chancellor and approved by the
NU Board of Regents after input from
students and faculty members, Grie
sen said.
