Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook: Freedom of Expression: Demonstration, Outside Speakers, and Political Campaign Policies

Relevant Excerpt

Recognized University organizations and full or part‐time students who wish to schedule a demonstration, rally, protest or equivalent activity, must request the space through the Dean of Students Office on their respective campus and the appropriate venue manager. Any such request must be made no less than four business days in advance of the activity. The required Demonstration Registration Form can be obtained from the Dean of Students Office.

On campus demonstrations can only take place after the approval of the Dean of Students Office on the respective campus, on a first‐come, first‐served basis and based on availability of the proposed oncampus location. Such approval may be granted only after an assessment that the proposed demonstration will not otherwise interfere with scheduled University use or fail to comply with all policies applicable to demonstrations. ...

Accordingly, once the required form is completed and submitted in a timely manner, it will be reviewed by the Dean of Students Office and appropriate representatives of the proposed venue, UMPD, and the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs office. No demonstration can take place without final approval from the Dean of Students Office.
