Classroom on the Quad has truly been a collaborative effort, not only between students, faculty and staff but also between individuals with varying opinions and viewpoints on the topic of war in Iraq. As organizers of this event, we have done our best to approach this highly controversial issue by representing multipartisan viewpoints, both ideologically and politically. The nature of this event obliges us, as members of the Emory community, to maintain composure, consideration and respect for all opinions and viewpoints that are represented.

A broad and balanced range of views will be represented by students, staff members and administrators, and scholars of various disciplines. Please remember that the goal of this event, above all, is to encourage the fair and active exchange of ideas in an academic setting.

I would now like to introduce Christopher Richardson and Donna Wong to present the guidelines for conduct in the Classroom.
