CIVIL DISTURBANCE OR DEMONSTRATION
A civil protest will usually take the form of an organized public demonstration of disapproval or display disagreement with an idea or course of action. It should be noted that in many cases campus protests such as marches, meetings, picketing and rallies will be peaceful and non-obstructive. A protest should not be disrupted unless one or more of the following conditions exists as a result of the demonstration: • Disruption of the normal operations of the university.
• Obstructing access to offices, buildings, or other university facilities. • Threat of physical harm to persons or damage to university facilities.
• Willful demonstrations within the interior of any university building or structure, except as specifically authorized and subject to reasonable conditions imposed to protect the rights and safety of other persons and to prevent damage to property. • Unauthorized entry into or occupation of any university room, building, or area of the campus, including such entry or occupation at any unauthorized time, or any unauthorized or improper use of any university property, equipment, or facilities.
