Expressive Activity & Free Speech

In view of the University's responsibility to promote free expression, the campus is open, but only to University affiliates -- Santa Clara University students, faculty, staff, organizations, departments, and offices -- for the purpose of freedom of speech and related expressive activity subject to time, place, and manner regulations.

Please review the documents in the next section regarding the policy on how to plan expressive activities on campus.
