Communication

It is Trident policy that students, faculty, and staff maintain respectful, professional, and polite conduct in all communications at all times, including telephonic and email. The speed at which email can be sent is not always conducive to this level of professionalism. When people are upset or angry, they often send sarcastic and unpleasant emails in an attempt to vent their frustration. These types of emails are not acceptable. This should be considered before communicating via email.

All students, faculty, and staff are expected to treat one another with respect. Negative emotions have no place in any communication directed to any member of Trident. When upset for any reason, Trident members are encouraged to wait until they are less upset before sending any email or other communication. Information about proper “netiquette” may be found on the Internet.

Any student, faculty, or staff sending an irate, sarcastic, rude, harassing, disrespectful, or unprofessional email or other communication to another member of Trident will be subject to disciplinary action. Violations of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from Trident.
