Campus rules and procedures for expressive activities
海角乱伦社区鈥檚 strength lies in its people. We are proud that our students, faculty, staff and administrators represent a great variety of cultures, backgrounds and ideas. Our members contribute to the creation of an open, supportive campus environment with high levels of intellectual and creative energy. Building on our strengths, 海角乱伦社区 aspires to be a genuine inclusive community, one where those with differing backgrounds and allegiances feel themselves to be valued and learn from one another, and one where civility, respect and reasoned debate prevail.
Resources to ensure freedom of speech and safety
We encourage you to review the Student Handbook in order to familiarize yourself with our values and policies.
This policy outlines prohibited conduct, applicability and communication of the rules, and statements regarding freedom of speech, picketing and demonstrations on campus.
The Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order are a set of written rules and regulations that are intended to keep order on state University campuses and properties used for educational purposes. These rules were adopted by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York and ratified by the 海角乱伦社区 Council.
This policy provides guidelines for non-credit use of campus facilities as well as procedures around scheduling events, including time, place and manner restrictions. All restrictions are content neutral and are used to maintain a safe educational environment without disruption to continual operations and the fulfillment of our educational mission.

Civil discourse and Common Read
Fostering civil dialogue is at the heart of what being a Bearcat is all about.
Together we make up a community of people with diverse backgrounds, interests and political beliefs.
The Common Read program has partnered with the Civil Dialogue Project to provide opportunities for students to learn to communicate with those who disagree with them. New first-year students have all received a copy of the book I Never Thought of It That Way by Monica Guzman. A wide range of programs, workshops and events will take place the first week and throughout the academic year to engage students around the topics contained in the book.
The Civil Dialogue Project contains a non-credit that allows students to learn more about the Common Read and University resources, get connected with people in their living community, access voting resources and play games and win prizes all while bringing us closer together. Take a minute to look around and explore what civil dialogue can mean.
