Expressive Activity & Free Speech

In view of the University's responsibility to promote free expression, the campus is open, but only to University affiliates -- Santa Clara University students, faculty, staff, organizations, departments, and offices -- for the purpose of freedom of speech and related expressive activity subject to time, place, and manner regulations.

Please review the documents in the next section regarding the policy on how to plan expressive activities on campus.

Policy & Planning Form

Review & Approval

Expressive activities need to have an approved Expressive Activity Planning Form along with a campus map with the area of activity and marching route (if applicable) indicated. Complete the form with your CSI advisor. Final review and approval is by the CSI Director (Tedd Vanadilok, tvanadilok@scu.edu).
