Policy

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Idaho protect the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and freedom to petition the government for all people. CWI honors the Campus Community’s ability to exercise the First Amendment rights by establishing guidelines to promote free speech while maintaining a safe and operable campus. 

As an institution of higher education, CWI has a particular responsibility to safeguard free speech rights. The United States Supreme Court, in Healy v. James, described public colleges as “peculiarly the marketplace of ideas,” where students learn to exercise the constitutional rights necessary to participate in this system of government and to tolerate others’ exercise of the same rights. 

CWI also recognizes its’ responsibility to provide a secure learning environment that allows members of the community to express their views in ways that do not substantially disrupt the operations of CWI. Reasonable limitations may be placed on the time, place, and manner of free speech and expressive activities as deemed necessary by CWI in order to serve the interests of health and safety, prevent disruption of the educational process, and protect against the invasion of the rights of others.

USE OUTDOOR AREAS

CWI shall not create free speech zones or other designated outdoor areas of campus outside of which Protected Expressive Activity is prohibited.  CWI may maintain and enforce reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions applicable to Outdoor Areas that are narrowly tailored in service of a significant institutional interest only when such restrictions employ content neutral and viewpoint neutral criteria and provide for ample alternative means of expression.  The following non-exhaustive list includes Protected Expressive Activities in Outdoor Areas and applicable time, place, and manner restrictions:  

1. Distribution of Written Materials. Students and Student Organizations may distribute non-commercial written or printed materials in in Outdoor Areas. Such written materials may include, but are not limited to, pamphlets, signs, notices, brochures, banners, handouts, and flyers. Individuals and groups engaged in the distribution of written materials must not litter and are encouraged to remove any distributed materials dropped on the ground by others. 
2. Passing of Petitions. Students and Student Organizations may circulate petitions in  Outdoor Areas. 
3. Demonstrations. Students and Student Organizations may engage in demonstration, picketing, and oral presentations in Outdoor Areas. 
4. Tables, Displays, and Exhibits. To ensure safe pedestrian and vehicle traffic and to preserve and protect CWI property, Students and Student Organizations may reserve a “Reserved Public Area” for Expressive Activities involving the use of tables, chairs, booths, displays, or exhibits. To reserve a Reservable Outdoor Area, individuals and organizations may submit a reservation request to scheduling@cwi.edu. Reservations shall be granted on a “first come, first served” basis.  The reservation of space for the use of tables, chairs, booths, displays, or exhibits is intended to serve the narrowly tailored interest of protecting CWI property and the safety of the CWI community and shall not be construed to prohibit students and Student Organizations from spontaneously and contemporaneously assembling or distributing literature.   
5. Stakes or flags. Students and Student Organizations may place stakes or flags in the ground only in the grassy Outdoor Area directly west of the Nampa Academic Building. To prevent destruction of CWI property, individuals or organizations wishing to install stakes or flags are required to contact FMP at facilities@cwi.edu prior to installation. Students or Student Organizations installing stakes or flags without contacting FPM will be responsible for any damages stakes or flags may cause to CWI property, including without limitation, sprinkler systems or other landscaping or underground infrastructure.  All stakes or flags must be removed by the sponsoring individual or group at the end of their demonstration. Posts may not be installed as they may damage the grounds.  

All Protected Expressive Activities in Outdoor Areas are subject to the following time, place, and manner restrictions:

• Activities must not interrupt the orderly conduct of CWI classes, scheduled college ceremonies or events, or otherwise be Materially and Substantially Disruptive.  
• Community members and Visitors who are not students or Student Organizations must receive express permission before engaging in Protected Expressive Activity in Outdoor Areas in order to meet the narrowly tailored interest of providing adequate campus security and ensuring continued college operations without material disruption or interference with CWI’s responsibility to fulfill its mission.  A request to use facilities for Protected Expressive Activities shall be made in accordance with OP 120 – Facility Request Policy and shall be evaluated without regard to the content or viewpoint of the Protected Expressive Activity.  Faculty and staff acting outside the course and scope of their duties will be treated as members of the general public for purposes of this policy. Use of CWI Facilities, classroom space, bulletin boards, and walls.

CWI reserves the right to limit facilities, classroom space, bulletin boards, and indoor and exterior walls for official CWI business. Such spaces are Nonpublic Forums and are subject to reasonable regulations.  

Bulletin boards are Designated Public Forums subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are not based on the viewpoint of the speaker. For additional guidance on the use of CWI Bulletin Boards, see OP 190 – Campus Posting Policy.  Individual bulletin boards or dry-erase boards in classrooms and hallways not designated for College Use or otherwise designated by FPM do not constitute an Open Public Forum and shall be designated by faculty to post materials relevant to class instruction.   

Facilities available for use by the Campus Community and Visitors constitute a Designated Public Forum and are subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are not based on the content or the viewpoint of the speaker. A request to use facilities for Protected Expressive Activities, including invitations to speakers, shall be made in accordance with OP 120 – Facility Request Policy and shall meet the reasonable restrictions of the Designated Public Forum. No security fee shall be charged to a student or a student organization based on the content of the student’s or organization’s expression, the content of the expression of the student’s or organization’s invited guest, or the anticipated reaction to an invited guest’s expression. 

 No individual or organization not expressly authorized to represent CWI for the event or activity shall use the CWI name to imply official college sponsorship of the speaker in advertising or publicizing the event, except to identify the specific location of the event.   

Distribution of written materials inside of CWI facilities shall not involve personally delivering materials to students within hallways, entryways, or classrooms and no person shall be compelled to accept any written material. However, written materials may be made available at tables that are reserved in interior spaces in accordance with the reservation process set forth in OP 120 – Facility Request Policy. 

USE OF CWI WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA 

All CWI websites and social media pages constitute Designated Public Forums and are for the purpose of furthering the mission, vision, and core themes of CWI. CWI reserves the right to restrict or remove any content that does not relate to CWI business, programs, and/or services or which otherwise violates CWI policies or guidelines, including without limitation, Administrative Guidelines – Social Media.   

NON-SPONSORED SPEECH

Faculty, staff, students, and Student Organizations engaging in Protected Expressive Activities, whether on or off-campus, do so with the express understanding that the statements, opinions, and representations of the speaker(s) is not representative of CWI and that CWI neither endorses nor sponsors the expressive speech of any speaker not expressly recognized as representing CWI. 

Conversely, CWI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the content of official CWI communications, sponsorship, messaging, and engagement. 

Guideline Enforcement

Violations of this policy may result in one or more of the following: 

• A request of an individual or organization to cease and desist, relocate, or vacate the premises or property owned or controlled by CWI by law enforcement or an authorized representative of CWI.  
• Commencement of institutional disciplinary proceedings by the appropriate department or academic unit.  
• Restriction of future use of, or access to, CWI property. 

Failure to enforce this policy in one instance does not waive CWI’s right to enforce it in any other instance.
