Parameters for Public Forum

The job of UNI Public Safety is to protect the rights of all persons. We support the right of free speech as provided for in the U.S. Constitution. We will monitor events, rallies, protests and the like to help keep order and safety for all while supporting rights of free speech.

To that end, be advised of the following protocol.
