Korcok or others--Is this really what the harassment committee said?

[Jim Hanson <HANSONJB@WPOFFICE.WHITMAN.EDU>]

Is this actually their ruling? I've heard it was rather controversial (to
say the least; one of the schools almost left ceda because of this
incident). If it is, I'd like some more details because, contrary to what
you've said -- what a surprise! :) -- I do not agree that
profanity/derogatory terms directed at individuals in an attacking
manner is acceptable.

You said:
the harassment document does indeed address harassing language: 
Pam makes certain that all of our debaters learn it.  what, pray tell,
does that have to do with anything?  the harassment committee has
set a fairly clear precedent that even a stream of "fuck yourself"
utterances in a debate round does not constitute either SEXUAL or
ETHNIC harassment.
