VII. Demonstrations

a. In addition to the Temporary Guidelines articulated throughout this document, demonstrations must follow these procedures as well:

i. To ensure the safety of the Penn community and to protect the health and property of individuals, encampments and overnight demonstrations are not permitted in any University location, regardless of space (indoor or outdoor). Unauthorized overnight activities will be considered trespassing and addressed.

[... ]

iv. Participants are expected to be respectful to University employees involved in ensuring the safety of the community and compliance with these guidelines.

v. Demonstrations violate these guidelines if they threaten or advocate violence, create violence, or harass or intimidate Penn-affiliated individuals or groups on the basis of race, religion, national origin or ancestry, identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected class.
