FYI, without taking any stance on the issue under debate here, I find the language used by Shuah on behalf of the Code of Conduct committee extremely patronising and passive aggressive. This might be because I do not have an American academic class background, but I would suggest that the code of conduct committee should educate itself about communicating without projecting this implicit cultural and class bias so blatantly.
