If called upon, the professional staff will work actively to preserve an environment of spirited and open discourse and debate; allowing for the opportunity to have all participants contribute to intellectual exchange and full participation in an event. In instances of disruptive behavior or violations of University policies, the Campus Demonstration Assessment and Response Team (C-DART) and/or University Police will be notified and take appropriate action.
With the appropriate advance notice, University Police, together with the C-DART and/or Office of the Dean of Students will engage with student protestors and demonstrators during the event to help assure participants’ safety and to assist organizers in seeing that the demonstration does not disrupt the normal functioning of the University.
