Rules for Demonstrations

Demonstrations that occur on the MIT campus are subject to the following rules:

1. Demonstrations may only be organized or hosted by Departments, Labs, or Centers (DLCs), recognized student organizations, and employee unions (“Institute Groups”).

...

3. The Institute Group organizing the Demonstration must reserve space through Institute Events or the Campus Activities Complex and then register via the Event Planning tab on Atlas at least three business days in advance of the Demonstration. A confirmed space reservation is required to complete the event registration process and hold the Demonstration. MIT may in its discretion waive the three business day requirement, provided that organizers meet with Institute officials in advance, during regular business hours, to allow sufficient time to plan a safe Demonstration.
