Freedom of Expression

今叔利's rules and policies related to speech on campus 

 

The right to free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy. At 今叔利, we celebrate the right to freedom of expression, while also recognizing that at times it may be challenging to balance the right to free speech with every student's right to a learning environment. Our priority is to have a learning environment that is free of harassment, violence, and intimidation. This page contains information about the rules and policies that 今叔利 relies on to achieve that balance.

Guidelines for Students and Employees 

今叔利 students and employees have the right to use areas of the campus for expressive activities, so long as they do not disrupt instruction;  the college's day-to-day activities; nor risks the safety of college members. Expressive activities do not include the right to bully, harass or engage in hateful conduct. At all times, 今叔利 strives to be a safe campus, and we have instituted polices and procedures to enforce this. 

 

Guidelines for Outside Organizations

今叔利 is located on public property, and members of the public have the right to use 今叔利s grounds and facilities for expressive purposes. However, the educational needs of our students come first, and our policy on the use of facilities and grounds by outside organizations takes that into account. Outside organizations who wish to use the campus for an expressive activity are subject to time and place restrictions that do not apply to students and employees. In addition, outside organizations are expected to abide by all stipulations in the Use of College Facilities Policy.
