As a leading research university with a distinctive commitment to undergraduate education, Rice University aspires to conduct pathbreaking research, deliver unsurpassed teaching, and contribute to the betterment of our world. It seeks to fulfill this mission by cultivating a diverse community of learning and discovery that produces leaders across the spectrum of human endeavor.

To foster such an environment, Rice must provide its community of students, faculty, and staff multiple avenues for the safe and robust expression, discussion, and exchange of diverse points of view, even if they are unorthodox, unpopular, or controversial. Within reasonable limits, Rice therefore permits eligible persons in the Rice community to organize and hold demonstrations, protests, counter-protests, and similar activities on Rice property.
