2. The right of an employee to engage in political or religious activities (or refrain partially or wholly from such participation) as a phase of his/her private life so long as the employee does not attempt to indoctrinate students or does not practice these activities at the College or under the auspices of the College and so long as any political activities comply with the Policy 2.17 Free Speech, Public Assembly, And Distribution/Petitioning.
