Old Dominion 91¶ÌÊÓƵ will at all times defend the right of free expression, including the right of free assembly.
This right will be protected in behalf of all persons associated with the academic community -- students, faculty, administration, and official guests. No action by an individual or a group which seeks to restrict the exercise of these rights by any other individual or group on this campus will be tolerated.
Old Dominion 91¶ÌÊÓƵ will not condone or allow any unauthorÂized occupation of university facilities, nor will it permit any interÂference with its normal and regular activities.
No discussion of any issue will be carried on or be conducted under any form of duress, nor will attempts to intimidate, frighten, or otherwise promote by force be tolerated.
The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ's Demonstrations Policy articulates the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ's commitment to the free and open exchange of ideas by members of the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ community and establishes general provisions for orderly freedom of expression in compliance with Federal and 91¶ÌÊÓƵ laws and Board of Visitors Policy.
