Civil Disturbance or Demonstrations (Involving Students)

Relevant Excerpt

Most campus demonstrations—such as marches, meetings, picketing and rallies—will be peaceful and non-obstructive. A student demonstration should not be disrupted unless its participants are violating the Student Code of Conduct (as outlined in the Student Handbook). Such violations might include but are not limited to the following:

• Intentional or reckless interference with normal college activities and functions. Examples of such activities/functions include but are not limited to studying, teaching, public speaking, research, administration of the college, or emergency (Campus Safety, fire, or police) operations.
• Intentional interference with the freedom of expression of others.
• Actions, explicit or implied threats or gestures that place a person in reasonable fear of unwelcome physical contact or harm.
• Intentional or reckless behavior which may, or in fact does, deface or cause damage to college property or the property of others.
• Obstructing access to offices, buildings or other college facilities.
• Unauthorized entry into or occupation of any college room, building or area of the campus, including such entry or occupation at any unauthorized time.
