Freedom of Expression
As a public university and an institution committed to diversity of thought and freedom of expression, the University of Michigan has many forums where members of the University community, speakers, artists, invited guests, and/or the general public can express their views and opinions. Yet not all University spaces or events are forums where everyone is invited to speak, perform, or gather.

The University does not attempt to prevent protest that is protected under the First Amendment. At the same time, substantially disrupting speakers and events is not protected speech under the law and is a violation of University policy. When disruptions occur, the University works to mitigate the impact and continue the event. Individuals who continue to engage in disruptive activity may be removed.

We appreciate your patience and thank you for attending this event.
