The Indiana University Board of Trustees is ratifying a new policy after dozens of protesters were arrested in Dunn Meadow in April.
The Expressive Activity Policy “supports protests and demonstrations that don’t materially or substantially disrupt university operations or hinder the expressive activity of another individual or group.”
It allows assembling in public areas of campus — including Dunn Meadow, making speeches, carrying signs, and using sidewalk chalk.
It does not allow disruptive outdoor amplified sound, affixing, hanging, or placing signs without prior permission, the use of temporary structures without approval at least 10 days in advance, and camping.
The policy goes into effect Thursday in response to a six-week investigation into IU’s handling of protesters earlier this year.
