Partake In Expressive Activities
Partake In Expressive Activities
SCC endorses the principle of freedom of expression. However, such freedom is not absolute, and the rights of colleges and universities to regulate time, place and manner of such expressions are well established. The following guidelines honor your right to free expression while protecting against intrusion or interference with SCC academic programs and administrative processes.
An "Entity" is any individual or organization not affiliated with either SCC or with a registered SCC student organization.
All Entities must agree to the following guidelines. Failure to follow any of the rules and restrictions listed can result in loss of privileges to engage in Expressive Activities on SCC property in the future.
"Expressive Activities" include non-commercial activities, including all forms of peaceful assembly, protests, speeches, distribution of literature, carrying signs and circulating petitions.
- Entities may engage in Expressive Activities from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Fridays.
- Expressive Activities are permitted only in the following designated areas:
- No one may engage in any activity that violates local ordinances, or state or federal laws.
- No one may engage in any activity that endangers personal safety and/or that results in damage to personal or SCC property.
- No one may display or distribute obscene materials, as defined by local, state or federal law, or is within the definition of obscenity as set forth in the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court.
- No one may engage in any activity that defames any other person.
- No one may engage in any activity that is meant to incite or produce imminent violations of law under circumstances such that the activity is likely to actually and imminently incite or produce violations of law.
- No one may engage in any activity that substantially and materially disrupt the functioning of SCC, including the disruption of class work (including out of class studying), or the substantial invasion of the rights of others.
- No one may engage in any activity that disrupts or impedes the flow of traffic (vehicular or pedestrian) on campus, or obstruct access to or from campus buildings or any official SCC function.
- No one may attempt or threaten to strike, shove, kick or otherwise subject a person to unwanted physical contact.
- No one may follow a person in or about the SCC campus in an effort to cause such person to accept material when such person has rejected the receipt of such material or otherwise clearly indicated a refusal to accept such material.
- No one may persist in requesting or demanding the attention of any other person during a single encounter after such person has rejected the receipt of such material or otherwise clearly indicated a refusal to accept such material.
- No one may fail to identify oneself to, or comply with the lawful direction of, a clearly identified SCC official or any other public official acting in the performance of their duties while on SCC property, or resist or obstruct such SCC or other public officials in the performance of or the attempt to perform their lawful duties.
- No one may use any means of amplification.
