Policy Governing Time, Place, and Manner of Expressive Activity
Smith College (“Smith” or “the college”) endorses freedom of thought and expression for students and faculty as outlined in the Statement of Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression in the Student Handbook and in the Code of Faculty Governance. Individuals and groups have both rights and responsibilities when expressing themselves in the Smith community. At the same time, the college also has its own obligations to ensure the safety of its community, unimpeded access to its educational offerings, protection of property, and compliance with regulations.
The college governs these freedoms under the Policy Governing Time, Place, and Manner of Expressive Activity. There is an extensive FAQ providing additional details.
