  2. Members and organizations in the university community may invite and hear any persons of their own choosing, subject only to reasonable requirements on time, place, and manner for use of university property.
  3. The campus press and media are to be free of censorship. The editors and managers shall not be arbitrarily suspended because of student, faculty, administration, alumni, or community disapproval of editorial policy or content.
  4. The right to speech and association protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, such as peaceful protest and demonstration, is recognized within the university community.

Outdoor, publicly accessible areas of university property may be used for protected speech and association subject to restrictions in the Expressive Activity on Campus policy in the Campus Administrative Manual.
