Consider the legal difference/significance between these two scenarios involving students expressing their point of view and feelings regarding a controversial topic. Which of the following answers apply accurately?

Assume the following fictional scenarios to be correct. The University has a student conduct policy that generally provides academic freedom of speech to students, except that any student who disrupts the educational environment may be removed from class and subject to disciplinary procedures.

Scenario #1: During an Introduction to Differential Equations (MATH 307) class, a news story scrolls across the laptop screen of a student about ceremonial whale hunting in the Puget Sound. The student spontaneously shouts out, "I am sick and tired on all this Indigenous People's rights!" Another student responds, "It was originally their land and waterways. Let them do what they want!" These outbursts stop the class discussion of their assigned mathematical material. The faculty member asks both student to leave the class because of the disruption. The first student gets angrier and says, "Well it's all just political crap and hurts protected animals!"

Scenario #2: During lunchtime, two students are walking across Red Square by the library. There has been a controversy in the area regarding local indigenous rights to a ceremonial whale hunt. A student carrying a sign with a picture of a canoe and whale on it shouts out, "It was originally their land and waterways.

Let them do what they want!" Another student passing by turns to the first student and shouts, "I am sick and tired on all this Indigenous People's rights!

It's all just political crap and hurts protected animals!" An administrator comes out of Gerberding Hall, gets the names of both students and says that there may be disciplinary procedures against both of them.

O A. Scenario #1 is controlled by the academic freedom policy because the students are

expressing themselves in their role as students.

B. Scenario #2 is controlled by First Amendment Freedom of Speech protections because the students are expressing themselves in their private capacity.

C. Academic Freedom will not prevent disciplinary action because the opinion expressed do not related to the material content of the math class and, therefore, can count as a disruption of the educational environment.

D. First Amendment Freedom of Speech will prevent the students in Scenario #1 from being disciplined because both sides of the controversial issue were addressed in class.

O E. First Amendment Freedom of Speech will prevent the students in Scenario #2 from being disciplined because Red Square can reasonably be seen as a public forum and, as long the full spectrum of viewpoints are allowed by the University, then the student expressions of their view points is permissible.

O F. Answers A and B and C and D only.

O G. Answers A and B and C and E only.

H. Answers C and D and E only.
