EXAMPLES OF PROPER RESTRICTIONS
Restrictions that prevent :
obstruction of vehicular or pedestrian traffic
interference with the normal functions of the school or the rights of others to effectively use school facilities and property , such as excessive noise levels or blocking doorways .
Access To Facilities And Funding Your school may restrict access to facilities , funding , and other benefits to curriculum-related groups or registered student groups . However , public colleges may not restrict access to facilities , funding , or other benefits based on a viewpoint expressed by the student group . So , for example , if your school permits a registered student group that advocates for boycotts , divestment and sanctions against Israeli ( BDS ) to use its facilities for a meeting , but refuses to allow a registered student group that is pro-Israel or anti-BDS to use those same facilities for a meeting , your school may have violated the First Amendment .
Members Of The Campus Community Vs . “ Outsiders ” Your school may apply different standards to requests for use of its facilities based on the requestor ’ s affiliation with the school . This means that your school may allow student groups to use its facilities for meetings , but deny requests for access by external vendors , activists , and interest groups , as long as it does so in a content-neutral way .
