University Organization and campuswide policies

180	POLICIES ON EXPRESSION
180.1	Freedom of Expression
180.1.1	Policy Objective
	Through this policy, the University seeks to foster and sustain a forum for the free, civil and orderly exchange of ideas, values and opinions, recognizing that individuals grow and learn when confronted with differing views, alternative ways of thinking and conflicting values.
180.1.2	Policy Statement
	As Justice Jackson observed, in Terminiellos v. Chicago 337 U.S. 1 (1949): “Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it presses for acceptance of an idea. That is why freedom of speech, though not an absolute, . . . is nevertheless protected against censorship or punishment, unless shown likely to produce clear and present danger of a serious substantive evil that rises far above public inconvenience, annoyance or unrest.” Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of a democratic society and is essential to the educational process. Universities have a special obligation not only to tolerate but also to encourage and support the free expression of ideas, values and opinions, no matter how unpopular or controversial they may be. Cal Poly accepts and embraces this obligation, recognizing that such expression may take a variety of forms, such as speeches, signs, written materials, public assemblies, parades, demonstrations and artistic representation. Acknowledging the central role the unfettered exchange of information and ideas plays in learning and in a free society, the University shall ensure that individuals and groups are afforded wide latitude in exercising the right of free expression and that their constitutionally protected right to free expression is not abridged. ”Freedom either is a growing thing or it is not freedom . . . Principles remain unchanged while the understanding of them grows and their application enlarges.” (Irving Brant, The Bill of Rights: Its Origin and Meaning, Indianapolis, The Bobbs-Merrill Co., 1965, pp. 52, 78) Freedom of expression, however, is not an absolute right. It coexists with other rights and the need for public order. “The choice is not between liberty and order, it is between liberty with order and anarchy without either.” [Justice Jackson in Terminiello v. Chicago 337 U.S. 1 (1949)] To ensure that exercise of the right of free expression does not interfere with University functions, imperil public safety, obstruct or damage University facilities, or cause individuals to become audiences against their will, the University will establish and enforce campus regulations regarding the time, place and manner of the exercise of free expression by individuals and groups. The University recognizes that causing discomfort and even causing offense is not, of itself, a basis for limiting free speech. At the same time, all members of the University community shall recognize that freedom of expression includes a responsibility to respect the dignity of others. Included in this responsibility is a commitment to non-discrimination and to civility, as well as an acknowledgement of the right of others to express differing opinions. No individual or group shall abridge, halt or disrupt the right of others to present their views. The right of self-expression does not extend to preventing self-expression by others
180.2	Scheduling of Campus Events and Activities
	The University has established formal scheduling protocols for events and activities to ensure effective campus communication and coordination and to provide individuals and groups with a means by which to reserve facilities, spaces, equipment, other resources and support services. These scheduling protocols apply to all campus events and activities, including but not limited to speeches, musical and artistic performances and exhibitions, public assemblies and events, marches and parades . · Student organizations wishing to conduct events or activities on campus are encouraged to utilize ASI’s E-plan process, through the UU Epicenter, to facilitate campus communication and coordination. Where events or activities require use of facilities (excepting the lobbies of the University Union), other scheduled campus spaces, equipment or other support services, or where commercial activity is involved, use of the E-plan process is required. · Faculty and staff members and individual students wishing to conduct events or activities on campus are encouraged to contact the University Scheduling Office, to facilitate campus communication and coordination. Where events or activities require use of facilities (excepting the lobbies of the University Union), other scheduled campus spaces, equipment or other support services, or where commercial activity is involved, scheduling through the University Scheduling Office is required. · Off-campus individuals or groups wishing to use University property to conduct events or activities on campus are required to contact the University Scheduling Office so that the event or activity can be referred to appropriate campus offices. Use of campus facilities by off-campus individuals or groups is subject to a fee. In carrying out the scheduling function, the University will retain a position of strict neutrality regarding the views groups or individuals may wish to express. The institutional control of campus facilities shall not be used as a device for censorship. The University will not preclude groups or individuals from expressing their views because of disagreement with the views to be presented.
180.3	Limitations and Guidelines for Campus Events and Activities
180.3.1	General Limitations
	All campus events and activities shall be conducted consistent with Federal and State law, with existing University policies, with the orderly conduct of University business, with preservation of the campus learning environment, with the preservation of public safety, with maintenance of University property and with the free flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Entrances to campus facilities shall not be obstructed. In addition, plans for outdoor events and activities should address potential impacts on residential communities, on and off campus.
180.3.2	Withholding or Withdrawal of Approval
	Approval for events or activities may be withheld or withdrawn where they are determined by the University president or designee (the Vice President for Administration and Finance, in consultation with the Vice President for Student Affairs, in cases involving students; or in consultation with the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, in cases involving non-students) to violate Federal or State law, interfere with orderly operation of the campus or disrupt its learning environment. (Any decisions to withdraw approval may be appealed through the processes described in Section 180.3.7, Handling of Scheduling Questions and Appeals.)
180.3.3	Handling of Scheduling Appeals
	Negative decisions regarding scheduling of campus facilities or resources may be appealed to the Appeals Board, a body consisting of three members: an administrative representative chosen by the University President; a faculty representative chosen by the Chair of the Academic Senate; and a student representative chosen by the ASI President. The decisions of the Appeals Board shall be final unless overturned by the University President.
180.3.4	Cost
	Costs incurred by users related to use of facilities (other than for normal routine maintenance and other than for the regular and broad University instructional programs) are to be reimbursed to the University and/or ASI. Persons or groups granted the use of the facilities also assume responsibility for all damage. Failure to reimburse the University, ASI or other University auxiliaries for use charges or for damage to facilities may jeopardize the person or group’s future access to campus facilities. (Any decisions to deny access may be appealed through the processes described in Section 180.3.3, Handling of Scheduling Questions and Appeals.)
180.3.5	Time, Place and Manner Guidelines
	The University may impose reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on exercise of the right of free expression, to preserve orderly operation of the campus.
180.3.6	Guidelines as to Time
	Indoor events and activities are not assigned fixed limits as to time of day or day of the week. Events or activities requiring use of facilities (excepting the lobbies of the University Union) must, however, be scheduled by students through ASI’s E-plan process (through the UU Epicenter) and by faculty, staff and off-campus individuals and groups through the University Scheduling Office. Outdoor events and activities that involve amplified music or speech are limited to the hours of: 7am to 10pm, Monday through Sunday. All such events or activities must be scheduled by student organizations through ASI’s E-plan process (through the UU Epicenter) and by faculty, staff, individual students and off-campus individuals and groups through the University Scheduling Office and comply with any additional guidelines pertinent to a particular venue. Outdoor events and activities that do not require use of amplified sound (for speech or music) may be held between 7:00 a.m. and midnight, Monday through Sunday Use of the University’s scheduling protocols is encouraged, to facilitate communication, coordination and provision of any needed support services.
180.3.7	Guidelines as to Place
	Freedom of expression is an individual right and therefore is not restricted to place. While freedom of expression is encouraged everywhere on campus, several outdoor campus spaces have come to be viewed as “University commons,” places where individuals and groups assemble to exercise the right of free expression without necessarily having to schedule use of the space in advance. Designated University commons include the UU Plaza, Dexter Lawn and the Theater Lawn. It should be noted that on occasion all or some portion of a University common may have been reserved in advance. In such cases the individuals or groups having initially reserved the University common will be deemed to have priority and other individuals or groups may be referred to another, available University common. Other outdoor spaces on campus may be used as public gathering spaces for events and activities. Use of University scheduling protocols is encouraged in all cases, to facilitate communication, coordination and provision of any needed support services. Where amplified sound, equipment or commercialism are involved, use of University scheduling protocols is required. All such outdoor events and activities must be conducted in a manner consistent with Section 180.3.1 (General Limitations) and in conformity with any additional guidelines pertinent to a particular venue. All indoor facilities (excepting the lobbies of the University Union) and certain campus outdoor spaces must be reserved in advance, through the E-plan process (for student organizations) or through the University Scheduling Office (for faculty, staff, individual students and off-campus individuals or groups). Any questions about use of campus indoor or outdoor spaces may be referred to the UU Epicenter (for student organizations) or the University Scheduling Office (for faculty, staff, individual students and off-campus individuals or groups).
180.3.7.1	Approved and Priority Uses of University Facilities
	Use of University facilities is limited to the following purposes and is normally granted in the following order of precedence: A. The Regular University Instructional Program: Actual classes and scheduled meetings that are part of the regular academic program. B. The Broad University Instructional Program: Discussions, instructionally related activities/programs such as music, drama, forensics, journalism, intercollegiate athletics; special programs and other activities, that are a part of normal class-associated or academic programs; courses that are a part of the authorized campus Extended Studies program. C. Research and Consultant Activities: Programs that are research-oriented in nature which contribute to the professional development of students, faculty and staff and consultant activities that have been approved by the University. D. Educational and Co-Curricular Activities Sponsored by Student, Faculty and/or Staff Individuals and Groups: Events such as conferences, meetings, lectures, musicals, concerts, films, productions or contests concerned with the professional, cultural, recreational, or entertainment phases of University life. Participants and guests may include students, faculty, and staff of other educational institutions and the general public when such participants or guests are appropriate to the function. E. Meetings of Groups Sponsored by or Related to the University: Examples include meetings called by State agencies; by professional organizations of faculty, students or staff; or by University-related organizations; county and city school district sponsored meetings; meetings of federal, state, and local government organizations. F. Other Uses: Use of facilities for programs consistent with the objectives of the University may be granted to those agencies and organizations with whom the University is authorized to make lease agreements, specifically: government agencies; nonprofit, charitable, educational or character-building organizations; or groups for educational or non-commercial purposes. G. Commercial Uses: Use of facilities for commercial purposes is prohibited unless prior written permission has been obtained, on an exceptional basis, from the University president or designees (See Section 180.5).
180.3. 7.2	Prohibited Uses of University Facilities
	Unauthorized residence on University property or living in privately owned, temporary lodging parked or erected on University property is generally prohibited. In unusual circumstances exceptions are permitted with the written permission of the campus President or designee (Vice President for Administration and Finance). In general, the use of University facilities or property for personal or private events is not authorized. The category “personal or private events” includes, but is not limited to, weddings, funerals and memorial services. The scheduling of these or similar events on University property may be authorized only in unusual circumstances and requires prior approval of the University President or designee.

180.3.8.2	Leafleting and Handing Out of Non-Commercial Written and Printed Materials
	All groups or individuals wishing to leaflet, hand out or otherwise distribute non-commercial written or printed materials on campus are encouraged to utilize the E-plan process (student organizations) or notify the University Scheduling Office (faculty staff, individual students and off-campus individuals and groups.) Individuals may, however, without prior scheduling, distribute non-commercial written and printed materials in any outdoor area of the University (excepting roadways), in any University common, or in the lobbies of the University Union. Where facilities (excepting the lobbies of the University Union) or equipment are required or commercial activity is involved, use of campus scheduling protocols is required. (See Section 180.2, Scheduling of Campus Events and Activities; See also Section 180.5, Commercial Solicitation by Non-Campus Entities; and Section 180.6.2, Advertising on University Property). Student organizations using the E-plan may consult with the UU Epicenter staff, should they wish assistance in ensuring that leaflets and fliers comply with the provisions of this policy, before they are distributed. Littering is not permitted. Posting of written and printed materials on vehicles without the owner’s permission is not permitted. Distribution of materials in electronic format using University information technology resources must comply with the Responsible Use Policy (http://its.calpoly.edu/Policies/RUP-INT/) and other applicable University policies. These activities must be consistent with the University’s general requirements regarding preservation of campus order and public safety, as presented in Section 180.3.1, General Limitations and with Section 180.3.8.3, Temporary Non-Commercial Signage.
180.3.8.3	Temporary Non-Commercial Signage
	All temporary non-commercial signage (signs, posters, fliers, banners etc.) shall clearly identify the date of posting and the organization or persons responsible for the posting of the signage. Where an event is being announced, the announcement shall clearly identify: · the name of sponsoring organization(s) and, where applicable, co-sponsoring organizations (to include the group(s) organizing, staging and/or contributing funds for the event), and · information regarding how the event organizer(s) may be contacted. Failure to provide required identifying information on temporary signage may result in its immediate removal. Failure to adhere to these provisions of the policy may also subject individuals and/or organizations to disciplinary action. The organization responsible for placing temporary signage announcing events shall be responsible for its removal promptly when the event is over. The University otherwise reserves the right to remove temporary signage quarterly. Organizations or persons who fail to remove temporary signage in a timely manner may be held responsible for the cost of its removal. Placement of temporary signage is subject to review by Facility Services for interference with university operations and safety. (Any questions about procedures for placement of temporary signage should be directed to Facility Services.) In particular, posting of temporary signage is permitted as follows: · University Commons – Dexter Lawn and Theatre Lawn, subject to review by Facility Services; UU Plaza, consistent with University Union Facilities policies. · Kiosks – no permission is needed. · Residence Halls – at least one bulletin board shall be available in each residence hall where no permission to post is necessary; in the public area and students’ rooms permission is granted consistent with on-campus housing policies. · Library, inside bulletin boards – Dean of Library Services’ approval needed. · University Union – permission granted consistent with University Union Facilities policies. · Employee Relations Bulletin Boards in Various Buildings – As agreed through collective bargaining and implemented by the Director of Human Resources. · In campus buildings other than referenced above: on public or non-designated bulletin boards, no permission is needed; on department/college bulletin boards, the permission of the appropriate Department Head or Dean is needed. · Temporary signs for student organizations (sandwich boards and signs on lath-sized wood stakes) may be placed on campus lawns and/or byways subject to review by Facility Services. (Consult also ASI policies/codes regarding elections and clubs). Temporary signage may not be placed on the outside of buildings (walls, doors, windows, roofs or steps) without prior approval by Facility Services. Chalk markings may not be placed on sidewalks, roadways and the exterior surfaces of facilities without prior approval by Facility Services. Under no circumstances may temporary signage be placed on trees, traffic signs, trashcans, fences, or hillsides. Temporary signage may also not obstruct the entrances or exits of buildings or the line of vision to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Posting of signage on vehicles without the owner’s permission is not permitted. Student organizations using the E-plan are encouraged to let the U.U. Epicenter staff assist in reviewing temporary signage before it is posted, to ensure compliance with the provisions of this policy.
180.3.8.4	Electronic Communications
	All use of University information technology resources for purposes of individual or collective free expression must adhere to the provisions of the campus Responsible Use Policy and other policies governing use of University information technology resources (http://its.calpoly.edu/Policies/RUP-INT/).
180.3.8.5	Assemblies, Marches and Demonstrations
	Freedom of expression extends to the right to demonstrate, protest and advocate through public assemblies, marches and demonstrations. These activities must be consistent with the University’s general requirements regarding preservation of campus order and public safety, as presented in Section 180.3.1, General Limitations. To address public safety issues (routes of march, necessary public safety staffing, etc.) groups contemplating holding public assemblies, marches or demonstrations are strongly encouraged to notify the University Police in advance of the event, preferably at least 24 hours in advance. In addition, to avoid conflicts with other scheduled University events, reserve other necessary support services and ensure event success, organizers of public assemblies, marches or demonstrations are also encouraged to utilize the E-plan scheduling process (student organizations) or notify the University Scheduling Office (individual students and non-student individuals and groups.). Where facilities or equipment are required or commercial activity is involved, formal scheduling protocols must be followed. (See Section 180.2, Scheduling of Campus Events and Activities.) The University President has delegated oversight of campus demonstrations to the Vice President for Student Affairs and Chief of University Police, to ensure protection of freedom of expression and constitutional rights, participant safety, and if needed to implement dispersal procedures only when participants have exceeded limits of their constitutional rights.

180.4	Endorsement and Sponsorship of Events
180.4.1	Endorsement of Events
	Endorsement implies simply that a program has received the approval or encouragement of a group or individual. The involvement of the group or individual is limited in scope and need not involve official participation in the planning, development or production of the program. This should not be construed as limiting, in any way, the participation of an individual in a program that he or she supports. Individuals acting in a private capacity are not subject to procedures for approval for endorsement. Endorsement does not imply liability or cost assumption by the University. Approval for endorsement by groups or individuals in their formal University capacity will be granted through the dean or designated department head or chair for faculty and staff groups and individuals. Approved endorsement must be consistent with regulations on use of the University’s name; policies on discrimination; and with the objectives of the University. The Director of Public Affairs should be notified of all approved endorsements by the office granting approval.
180.4.2	Co-Sponsorship
	Co-sponsored events involve several factors including approval, encouragement and participation. These factors operate simultaneously and will be considered both individually and together in arriving at a decision as to whether a proposed co-sponsorship is legitimate and appropriate. The event must be of a nature appropriate to and consistent with the objectives and mission of the University and each co-sponsor, and have balanced participation by each co-sponsor in the planning, development, implementation, and production of the event. If these criteria for co-sponsorships are met, approval to co-sponsor may be granted by the dean, program manager, or designated department head or chair in the case of University groups and the Dean of Cal Poly Continuing Education where non-University groups are involved. If co-sponsorship is approved, all pertinent University regulations (such as govern Responsible Use, publicity, security, and posting) must be observed. Any request which is not approved may be appealed to: (1) the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs in the case of faculty or staff co-sponsorship and (2) the Vice President for Student Affairs in the case of student co-sponsorship. (For co-sponsorship activities involving commercial solicitation, see additional protocols for review and approval in Section 180.5)
180.4.3	Commercial or Corporate Co-Sponsorship
	The term “commercial or corporate co-sponsorship” means the active support by a for-profit entity of an event, activity or program held on campus facilities by an organization duly recognized by the University. Active support can take the form of monetary or in-kind donations or consideration. No action of any kind may be taken which would confer or appear to confer a commercial endorsement of any product or service by California Polytechnic State University or the California State University. In all promoting of an event involving a commercial or corporate co-sponsor, the promotional material shall indicate that the event is co-sponsored and the letters of the Cal Poly group’s name shall be at least the same size as that of the outside commercial/corporate sponsor. While a banner, poster, or paid ad might include the outside agency’s logo, it shall not include any wording that implies Cal Poly endorsement of the co-sponsor’s product. (For co-sponsorship activities involving commercial solicitation, see additional protocols for review and approval in Section 180.5)
180.4.4	Criteria for Approval of Sponsorships
	The following criteria are intended to help judge the propriety of proposed sponsorship of a campus event organized by a student, faculty, staff or off-campus individual or entity. A. The sponsorship stimulates participation by students, faculty and/or staff in a program, activity, or event that is consistent with the University’s educational mission. B. The sponsorship reinforces the significance of a University program or objective. C. The sponsor’s requirements bear a direct and reasonable relationship to the nature of the event, and specify how sponsorship is to be recognized. D. A cost savings could be or may be realized from sponsorship. In addition the following criteria for sponsorship must be met: E. The sponsorship shall strictly avoid any commercial transaction or commercial solicitations unless prior written authorization is granted by the University president. F. There shall not be conditions proposed by the sponsor that would preclude the University, or any campus organization, from conducting a subsequent identical or similar event with another sponsor. G. Any issues related to activity or tax liability risks and the responsibility for such risks shall be resolved in writing prior to any sponsorship agreements.
	If sufficient criteria for sponsorships are met, approval may be granted: (1) by the dean, program manager, or designated department head or chair in the case of faculty and staff; (2) by means of submission and approval of an E-plan in the case of events organized by student groups; (3) by the Vice President for Student Affairs in the case of events organized by individual students, or (4) by the Dean of Cal Poly Continuing Education where non-University groups are involved. Proper consultation with the Director of Public Affairs shall occur prior to the granting of approval.
180.5	Commercial Activities
	Commercial activities are defined here as including: * “Private Sales,” meaning occasional selling between persons who are campus students or employees. * “Commercial Transactions,” meaning the selling or purchasing in the course of employment in or the carrying on of a trade or business. * “Commercial Solicitations,” meaning any direct and personal communication in the course of a trade or business reasonably intended to result in a sale. Commercial activities are permitted by Foundation and Associated Students, Inc. operations. Commercial activities proposed by recognized campus organizations must be scheduled and submitted for approval through the E-Plan process (student organizations) or the University Scheduling Office (employee organizations). The President’s Designee for approval of commercial activities by campus organizations is the Vice President for Administration and Finance, in consultation with the Vice President for Student Affairs (student organizations) or the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs (other campus organizations). Commercial activities proposed by non-campus entities on campus are prohibited unless prior written permission has been obtained from the campus president or his/her designees. Permission for commercial solicitation shall be granted by the President subject to regulation as to time, place and manner thereof, unless such solicitation for sale would be in violation of law. The President has designated the Vice President for Administration & Finance as the president’s designee for review of commercial solicitation proposals by non-campus entities, including commercial solicitation conducted at activities co-sponsored with campus entities. (See Section 180.4.2 - 4 for protocols for review/approval of co-sponsorships). Commercial activities by off-campus entities must be proposed and scheduled through the University Scheduling Office. Where approved by the Vice President for Administration & Finance, commercial activities will typically be directed to the UU Plaza (See Section 180.3.7), in order to avoid interference with orderly conduct of the University’s educational programs. Sites available to marketers of student credit cards shall be limited to the UU Plaza. Marketers of student credit cards should receive approval from the El Corral Bookstore or they must be pre-approved via contract with the University. Those marketers shall be prohibited from offering gifts to students for filling out student credit card applications. As used in this section, “student credit cards” shall have the meaning in Civil Code section 1747.02 (m). Commercial activities involving the use of University information technology resources must comply with Responsible Use (http://its.calpoly.edu/Policies/RUP-INT/) and other applicable IT policies and be reviewed and approved by the Vice Provost/CIO for Information Technology Services.
180.5.1	Selling of Newspapers
	Companies or individuals may offer for sale newspapers on campus through standard newspaper vending machines located in designated areas. The vendor must have prior approval of the Vice President for Administration and Finance. Advertising of papers shall be limited to the space available on the vending machine. (Newspapers and periodicals may also be sold in campus commercial venues.)
180.5.2	Selling of Souvenir Programs and Related Material
	Groups or individuals leasing campus facilities for entertainment and cultural events may be permitted to sell souvenir programs and related material under conditions established in the lease.
180.5.3	Sales During Open House
	If the sale of either published or nonpublished materials is to occur during Open House the action must be consistent with the policies of the Open House Board.
180.6	Advertising
180.6.1	Advertising in Publications
	Advertising may be permitted in faculty, staff, alumni and student publications subject to the policies of each publication. Publications in electronic format, utilizing campus information technology resources, are subject to Responsible Use (http://its.calpoly.edu/Policies/RUP-INT/) and other applicable information technology policies. (Commercial solicitation is addressed in Section 180.5.)
180.6.2	Advertising on University Property
	Advertising using temporary signage (signs, posters, fliers, banners etc.) is permitted under the following conditions. Placement of signage is subject to review by Facility Services for interference with university operations, safety and compliance with university policy. (Any questions about procedures for placement of temporary signage should be directed to Facility Services.) Commercial signage for purposes of advertising (signs, posters, fliers, circulars, handbills, banners, etc.) may not contain false, misleading, or illegal advertising. All commercial advertising signage shall clearly identify the date of posting and the organization or persons responsible for posting of the signage. The University reserves the right to remove all temporary signage (non-commercial and commercial) quarterly, post-event, or if not in compliance with University policy. Posting of advertisements is permitted as follows: · University Commons – (Dexter Lawn and Theatre Lawn, subject to Facility Services review; UU Plaza, consistent with University Union Facilities’ policies.) · Kiosks – no permission needed. · Residence halls – at least one bulletin board shall be available in each residence hall where no permission to post is necessary; in the public area and students’ rooms permission is granted consistent with on-campus housing policies. · Library, inside bulletin boards – Dean of Library Services approval needed. · University Union – permission granted consistent with University Union Facilities’ policies. · Employee Relations Bulletin Boards in Various Buildings – As agreed through collective bargaining and implemented by the Director of Human Resources. · Electronic ads, utilizing University Information Technology resources, including ads on Cal Poly web sites, require prior approval by the Vice Provost/CIO or designee.
