Detailed Information

The primary concern of the College in matters of protests, public demonstrations, etc. is the safety and security of the students, faculty, staff and visitors; it is not the denial of individuals’ Constitutional rights to assembly, speech, etc. When a protest, public demonstration or similar assembly is discovered it should be reported to Safety & Security as soon as possible, who will then determine the course of action to take.
