Under both Colorado law and university policy, enrolled students have broad expressive rights in generally accessible open outdoor spaces. The Campus Administrative Policy 3018 designates these open outdoor areas as “student forums.”
Student forums are generally available to students for speech and expressive purposes, provided that those activities are consistent with the campus policy. Most importantly, while students are welcome and entitled to express themselves in student forums across campus, they may not do so in a way that disrupts previously scheduled events, impedes normal university operations or the flow of traffic, or endangers other people or property.
