Section 132M-136-020. Distribution of materials policy.

(1) Free expression is encouraged on the college campus. Use of college facilities as determined by the president and regulated by his/her designee, however, does not accord users immunity from legal action.

(2) Handbills, leaflets, newspapers, and similar material—except those which are commercial, obscene, or unlawful—may be distributed only in areas on the campus designated by the director of student programs where, and at times when, such distribution will not interfere with the orderly administration of the college, the ingress or egress of persons, or the free flow of traffic.

(3) Newspapers, leaflets, and similar material offered for sale by any student or nonstudent person or organization may be distributed and sold through the college bookstore as are other commercial forms of merchandise, subject to reasonable rules and regulations that may be imposed by the bookstore manager.

(4) All handbills, leaflets, newspapers, and similar material must bear identification as to the publishing agency and distributing organization or individual.

(5) All students and nonstudents shall be required to register with the director of student programs prior to the distribution or sale of any handbill, leaflet, newspaper, or related material, including but not limited to posting materials on college bulletin boards and distributing materials in college parking lots.

(6) Any student who violates any provision of this section relating to the distribution and sale of handbills, leaflets, newspapers, or related materials shall be subject to disciplinary action.

(7) Any distribution of materials regulated by established policies and authorized under this section by the director of student programs shall not be construed as support or approval of the content by the college or by the board of trustees of Washington Community College District No. 13.
