PennWest Policy SA001: Time, Place, and Manner Policy- Intent

Relevant Excerpt

The primary function of Pennsylvania Western University (PennWest) is to provide transformative, lifelong learning opportunities through innovative, nationally recognized programs delivered in inclusive, student-centered environments. To fulfill its educational mission, PennWest must respect and uphold the full panoply of, sometimes conflicting, rights of students, staff, and faculty granted by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution (the “First Amendment”) and Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. 

In light of the foregoing, PennWest supports the rights of students, staff, and faculty to individually and collectively engage in Expressive Activity. Such rights are equally extended to other University Community Members including individuals, Registered Student Organizations, University Departments, Invited Guests, and community members.
