Relevant Excerpt
The "Public Areas" of Campus mean all Outdoor Areas. The "Outdoor Areas" mean outside areas generally accessible to the majority of students, administrators, faculty, and staff such as grassy areas, walkways, or other similar common areas, but do not include University facilities, the interior of buildings or areas where access is restricted. The Public Areas of campus are deemed by State law as traditional public forums and are open on the same terms to any speaker.
On Public Areas, students and faculty may assemble, distribute literature, and engage in spontaneous expressive activity as long as such activity is not unlawful and does not materially and substantially disrupt the functioning of the University. Any person lawfully present on campus in a Public Area may protest or demonstrate there.
