Is offensiveness banned from all university media and resources (e.g.
library, common areas, etc) or just from the computers? If computers
are treated differently, why?

Since offensiveness is subjective, how is it determined? Does it count
if an outsider is offended? For example, I find the policy itself very
offensive, assuming it was prepared using the computer facilites, how
can I file a complaint and have the author of the policy punished?
