Reservations for Free Speech, Expression and Assembly

The College supports the rights of students, faculty, and staff (the “College Community”) to discuss, express, advocate or examine issues or ideas within constitutionally valid limitations. Expressive activities and inquiry are fundamental to the academic endeavor. The College also recognizes the need to accommodate the rights of all members of the College Community. As a result, expressive activities, such as speaking, non-verbal expressive activity, holding signage, handing out literature, and similar activity must be conducted by members of the College Community in accordance with the content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions listed in all College of Charleston policies.

Requests for any event under the Free Speech, Expression and Assembly Policy including but not limited to a vigil, rally protest, display, demonstration, march, parade, procession, etc., must adhere to the Free Speech, Expression and Assembly Policy:
