No, wait! "Retaliation against any person complaining of harassment..." is also not tolerated. Now, common sense would say that "retaliation" and "harassment" are some forms of assault or battery and, hence, hardly need a university policy statement to discourage the practice. So, is the Chancellor just making an empty statement? The chancellorship is a political position, so that's a possibility, but there are two other, better guesses at the reason for the policy.
One: If a criminal charge is brought against a student, then the accused is entitled to presumption of innocence and to see and challenge the evidence against him. A reasonable level of proof is required to sustain the charge and there is an appeals process. The Chancellor doesn't want to bother with all of that.
Two: Most usage of the words nigger, fag, or bitch do not constitute assault. But a violation of policy? Oh my, yes! The Chancellor can dismiss you for any display of emotion that displeases HIM. (Not you Nerd; not you Four Eyes; not you Bean Pole. Not yours!)
On November 8, someone on campus twisted some toilet paper into the shape of a noose. The noose has been used in state sponsored killing since 1300, so perhaps the person made the noose as a political statement, opposing the current de facto moratorium in N. C. What's that? You don't think so? It's much more likely that the person was just being immature, like most of his fellows. That kind of thing can end your career in this politically correct country.
