Understanding Our Expressive Activity Policy

As you may know, the University recently released an updated Expressive Activity Policy. In our eagerness to share this updated Policy, we made a few errors.

We can tell from the feedback received that the Policy was unclear in several areas and unnecessarily complex. We have taken this feedback seriously and, given the critical importance of this Policy, revised the Policy with an eye towards more simple and direct language. We believe that this version better articulates the intent behind the Policy.

We are also aware that our initial distribution of the Policy failed to reach students. For that, we apologize and are correcting that error today. Additionally, I plan to meet with the Student Government Association in the near future to discuss the Policy as well as host a Town Hall for students. It is very important that all students understand both the language of the Policy and the intent behind it.

We appreciate your patience as we work to create a campus environment that ensures both the freedoms and safety of our students and employees. I invite you to read the revised Policy for yourself, as well as this Q&A document, so you are aware of the strides being made on our campus.
