ABSTRACT
As a university tutor I seek a neutral value-free academic environment in order to pursue academic analysis and objectivity. It is within the authority and discretion and academic freedom of a tutor to impose proper and reasonable conditions. A degree of authority is inherent in the tutor-student relationship. I impose certain conditions: decency; no smoking; no interruptions; no personal abuse; no racialist or anti-Semitic slogans; no pictures of politicians; no rosettes; no political badges, of any kind, left or right.
