Washington Administrative Code › Title 172 - Eastern Washington University › Chapter 172-141 - Use of outdoor areas for first amendment activities › Section 172-141-010 - Commitment and purpose

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Eastern Washington University is committed to freedom of
				expression and first amendment principles. Active participation in dialogue and
				expression is a vital part of higher education. Listening to and engaging with
				various viewpoints transforms students into informed citizens. Thus, the
				university believes freedom of expression is indispensable and is committed to
				respecting and promoting first amendment rights.
As an educational institution, the university's property and
				facilities are reserved primarily for educational use including, but not
				limited to, instruction, research, public assembly of university groups,
				student activities, and activities directly related to the educational mission
				of the university. The public character of the university does not grant
				individuals the right to substantially interfere with, or otherwise disrupt,
				the normal activities for and to which the university's facilities and property
				are dedicated. Accordingly, the university's outdoor areas are designated as a
				public forum for the purposes identified in this chapter and subject to the
				time, place and manner provisions set forth below.
The time, place, and manner regulations set forth in this
				chapter establish procedures and reasonable controls for the use of university
				property. It is intended to balance the university's responsibility to fulfill
				its mission as a state educational institution with the interest of persons and
				groups who are interested in using the campus for constitutionally protected
				expression. Due to the nature of its purpose, the university prioritizes use
				for university employees, students, and university-affiliated groups. The
				university intends to open its outdoor spaces to nonuniversity affiliated
				groups and persons to the extent such usage does not conflict with the rights
				of university employees, students, and university-affiliated groups or
				substantially disrupt the university's operations and
				functions.
