Student Peaceful Assembly and Forum Policy
It is the desire of Azusa Pacific University to promote appropriate expression
of views that do not conflict with the mission/identity of our unique Christian
higher education community. To accomplish this, provision is made for
peaceful assemblies and forums rather than protests or demonstrations.
The policy of Azusa Pacific University with respect to peaceful assembly
and forums on all campuses, is as follows:
Time, manner, and place are subject to the approval of the office of the
vice president for Student Life/dean of students or designee. A request
by an APU student group to hold any event that could be otherwise
construed as an assembly or forum must be submitted, and written
approval must be in possession of those in charge at the time and
location of the assembly/forum. Only sound amplification that is officially
authorized is permitted.
- Limited between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday-Friday.
- The interior of Seven Palms (or other approved locations) upon submission of request and written permission from the vice president for Student Life/dean of students or designee.
Such activities may not interfere or disrupt the orderly conduct of university business, events, or infringe on the rights of others. In the event the area is not restored to its original condition, the organizer will bear fiscal accountability.
Assemblies or forums that exceed these limits will subject participants to temporary or permanent suspension from the university or other sanctions as outlined in the Cougar Student Handbook.
