Student Action, Advocacy, and Complaints

Activism and Demonstration (such as protest and petition)

Students who wish to present issues to the student body relative to on or off campus questions, whether as a means of collecting or registering opinions of support or protest, or of simply collecting comments on topics of interest and concern to the student body, shall be afforded the opportunity to do so in the following manner:

• The students who are primarily involved in organizing the action must present a signed, written notice of their intent to the Dean of Students.
   
• Students may not interfere with the normal operation of the College or its agencies. They must be set up in such a manner as not to interfere with the rights of members of the College community to use the facilities of the College without deviating from their normal traffic flow. The College reserves the right to prohibit picketing in places that would be disruptive to classes or college operations.
   
• All of the normal rules and regulations governing the posting and distribution of printed or other graphic material, and prohibiting solicitation on campus, will apply. Those persons who are engaged in an activity which is in violation of the regulations above, or which results in injury to persons or in damage to the property of the College or its agencies, shall be held personally responsible and shall be referred to the proper College authorities for disciplinary action.
