Policy on Student Demonstrations
Oglethorpe University fully supports freedom of expression and
peaceful assembly for students. Having the opportunity to assemble
peacefully and to discuss issues is essential to the student's
education. However, in order to prevent bodily harm, to protect
property, and to avoid disruption of the educational process,
participants in a demonstration must conduct themselves in a
responsible manner. The following standards of conduct apply to all
campus assemblies, meetings, parties, or other gatherings of
students:
- No person may push, strike, physically assault, or threaten
any member of the faculty, staff or student body, or any visitor
to the University.
- The person or persons mainly responsible for organizing a
demonstration must meet with the Director of Campus Safety prior
to announcing the event to agree on procedures for maintaining
order.
- All other campus policies on conduct, as well as all county,
state and federal laws, apply to student demonstrations on the
Oglethorpe campus.
