Sheryl, Last May, Purdue's Board of Trustees passed a resolution regarding free speech, which adopted much of the University of Chicago Principles (the Commitment to Freedom of Expression is online here: http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/about/free-speech.html).
As part of that resolution, they also designated certain areas for "peaceable assembly and the expression of ideas and opinions." The full text of that portion of the resolution is online here: https://www.purdue.edu/odos/osrr/resources/documents/speech_and_expression.html Best, Jessica Teets Coordinator, University Policy Office Purdue University 765-494-6373 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rippke, Sheryl L [U CSL] Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 3:16 PM To: Association of College and University Policy Administrators <[email protected]> Subject: [acupa-l] Designated Public Forums Good afternoon! Does your institution have "designated public forums" (which are often incorrectly-since free speech is not restricted-referred to as "free speech zones)?" At Iowa State, within our Facilities Use policy, we do indicate that two outdoor areas on campus have been designated as public forums for non-commercial expression. The policy doesn't mean to imply that other areas are off limits, but just that these areas are recognized as being good spots for public discourse. Our students would like us to clarify the policy, so I'd like to know how others deal with this. Please let me know if you have any policies or other wisdom to share with me. Thanks!
