University of Houston
Relevant Excerpt
Therefore, those who wish to engage in an expressive activity (including literature distribution) may engage in such expressive activity in the University’s common areas (e.g., University parks, grassy areas, and sidewalks) without prior registration or approval. ... If an expressive activity attracts an audience of 50 or more people, substantially disrupts University business or classes, blocks building access, or creates vehicular, pedestrian, or other traffic hazards, the expressive activity may be required to relocate to another area on campus that can better accommodate the large group or type of activity.
