Section 132M-136-030. Outside speaker policy.

(1) The college subscribes to the proposition that an important aspect of the education of college students is the opportunity to listen to speakers representing a wide variety of opinions and beliefs on important public issues. In conformity with the American tradition of free speech and free inquiry, the following policies are established governing the appearance on campus of speakers not themselves members of the college community.

(2) Any recognized ASLCC student organization with written sanction of its advisor, may invite individuals to speak on campus.

(3) The appearance of an invited speaker on the campus does not involve an endorsement, either implicit or explicit, of his views by this college, its students, its faculty, its administration, or its board.

(4) The scheduling of facilities for hearing invited speakers shall be made through the dean of instruction and/or director of student activities.

(5) The dean of students will be notified at least three days prior to the appearance of an invited speaker, at which time a form, available in the office of the dean of students, shall be completed with such particulars as speaker, time, and place, signed by the sponsoring organization advisor, and filed with the dean of students. Exceptions to the three day ruling may be made by the director of student activities with the approval of the dean of students.

(6) The dean of students may require and arrange to have views other than those of the invited speaker represented at the meeting, or at a subsequent meeting. The president may, at his discretion, assign a faculty member to preside over any meeting where a speaker has been invited.
