The California State University (CSU) is committed to free expression as an essential component of its educational mission. To support and achieve that mission, the CSU must maintain an environment where its work can be conducted without disruption, in accordance with the highest standards of institutional integrity, and with recognition of the rights, privileges and responsibilities of university community members and members of the public.
To see frequently asked questions about the CSU's systemwide policy, please visit the
Time, Place and Manner FAQ page.
The CSU and its universities have therefore established standards that determine the “time, place and manner” in which activities may be conducted on university property. These regulations ensure that those who participate in lawful expressive activities are protected and do not disrupt university operations or infringe on the rights of others. The regulations also address how the university will respond to students, employees and non-affiliated parties who disrupt university activities by failing to comply with these requirements, and how the university will support those who are harmed by such activities.
On this page, you will find the CSU’s systemwide policies and links to individual university policies, as well as opportunities for training on these policies and resources for additional background information.
