Policies Related to Free Expression on Campus
At Stan State, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive environment that supports civil discourse and open dialogue among all community members. We respect and uphold the right to protest and freedom of speech. At the same time, policies must be adhered to ensure the safety and proper functioning of our campus.
Our Time, Place and Manner of Free Expression policy outlines our support to engage in critical conversations, self-expression and advocacy on campus. While individuals are permitted to express their views, we do not tolerate hate speech, violence, discrimination — encompassing all forms of racial and national origin discrimination — harassment or behavior disruptive to the educational mission. Please note the policy’s key points:
- Freedom of expression activities may take place on campus with the following exceptions: parking lots, inside University buildings and within 20 feet of any location in which instructional, educational and/or official business activities are being conducted.
- Activities must not interfere with or obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic, disrupt University business, interfere with classes or other scheduled academic, educational or co-curricular programs.
- Activities shall not promote violence, bodily or property harm, terrorist threats, defamation, obscenity and/or false advertising.
- Activities must not violate any federal, state or local laws or safety codes, such as regulations set by the state fire marshal.
