Time, Place, and Manner
The ӰState University (CSU) is committed to free expression as an essential component of its educational mission. To support and achieve that mission, the CSU must maintain an environment where its work can be conducted without disruption, in accordance with the highest standards of institutional integrity, and with recognition of the rights, privileges and responsibilities of university community members and members of the public.
The CSU and Ӱ have therefore have therefore established standards that determine the “time, place and manner” in which activities may be conducted on university property. These regulations ensure that those who participate in lawful expressive activities are protected and do not disrupt university operations or infringe on the rights of others. The regulations also address how the university will respond to students, employees and non-affiliated parties who disrupt university activities by failing to comply with these requirements, and how the university will support those who are harmed by such activities.
For over 30 years, Ӱ’s time, place, and manner policy was part of our Campus Rules & Regulations. In accordance with California’s Budget Act of 2024 (Senate Bill 108), the CSU developed a systemwide policy and instructed all campuses to create a campus-specific addendum based on a template. Ӱ’s addendum is not a new policy; it has been relocated from the Campus Rules & Regulations to a standalone document, which can be found here.
