Professor’s Firing Opens Debate on Free Speech and Safe Spaces on College Campuses

3.) Journalists-Both student and outside journalists may attend any event in any part of the free or traditional open fora listed above. These areas may not be closed by the university or student organizations to students, members of the public, or journalists during a permitted event, nor indeed during any hours when those portions of the university are open to anyone, except of course for narrow constitutional reasons like security and safety.   Conversely, in the limited public fora, press credentials must be granted per the permitting process outlined above and may be denied on any rational basis including disruption of a class, desire of a student club or organization or a majority of its members to remain open in its meetings only to its members or invited guests, safety, security, expense, or any other rational articulable reason. This code is to be enforced by the campus police and not by the students or their organizations or the faculty or staff.
