All students recognize that the term “bullying” shall include cyber-bullying, or any such act or omission in any form, including verbal or written, physical or on a mobile or online platform, even if such platform is not owned or operated by FCI. Furthermore, students recognize that terms such as “bullying” and “harassment” may change from time to time, and the definition of such terms in this Code shall be inclusive of any and all definitions afforded to them by any law or governing body.

No student shall publish or display anything that would indicate an intention to discriminate against another student or FCI staff member, or expose them to humiliation or hate on the basis set out above.
For greater certainty, FCI promotes the values expressed in the Human Rights Code, and no student shall, in relation to another student or an FCI instructor or staff member, commit any act or omission that would infringe or offend the Human Rights Code or any law.
