Free Speech

Cal Poly's Commitment

Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of a democratic society and is essential to the educational process. Cal Poly supports the free expression of ideas, values, and opinions, even where they may be unpopular or controversial. Free speech may take a variety of forms, such as speeches, signs, written materials, public assemblies, parades, demonstrations, and artistic representation. Prior to visiting campus, groups are encouraged to read through university policy on time, place, and manner. (CAP 140)
