CODE OF CONDUCT

We believe strongly in preserving free speech and expression for our users as well as academic freedom for our instructors. We also want to make sure that all of our users and instructors feel safe and comfortable while using our platform and courses. As a student, you are responsible for all activity on the platform, courses, and communication channels. This includes the content that you post or otherwise create on our platform, such as reviews, questions, posts, messages, and any other content you share. We have drafted this policy to ensure that people understand and follow the rules when participating in our online community and otherwise using our platform and courses.

We may remove or edit inappropriate content or activity identified by or reported to us. We may separately suspend, disable, or terminate a user's access to all or part of the platform, courses, communication channels, or other offered features.

In addition to any restrictions in the Terms of Services you are prohibited from using our platform, courses, and any other offered features (“Services”) to:

  • Post or provide any content or information that is inappropriate, offensive, racist, hateful, sexist, racially or ethnically objectionable, pornographic, false, misleading, incorrect, infringing, defamatory, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, relating to or encouraging money laundering or gambling, or otherwise unlawful in any manner;

  • Send content that contains credible threats or organizes acts of real-world violence. We don’t allow content that creates a genuine risk of physical injury or property damage, credibly threatens people or public safety, or organizes or encourages harm.
  • Harass others. We encourage commentary about people and matters of public interest, but abusive or otherwise inappropriate content directed at private individuals is not allowed.
  • Violate intellectual property, privacy, or other rights. Do not share content that you do not have the right to share, claim content that you did not create as your own, or otherwise infringe or misappropriate someone else’s intellectual property or other rights.
