1. Should there be agreement with your institution about what is acceptable
2. appearance and dress for a faculty member in SL?
3. Should there be an agreement with the institution at some point?
4. What are the implications relating to teacher identity in SL in relation to:
o multiculturalism
o inclusiveness
o middle-aged white stereotypes
o gender
o “local standards of decency” – what is “local”?
5. What might reasonable institutional expectations be?
6. What about your academic freedom of expression?
With regard to the institutional issues raised above (from the T&L class):
These are difficult questions. I can understand an institution’s collective desire to represent a certain standard of appearance and behavior, and at the same time I think academic instructions should encourage and support freedom of expression. There is too much censorship in this country as it is. Honestly, I don’t know how to answer this question, but I think much of the answers will depend on the institution, its alumni and its geographic location
