Free inquiry and expression are indispensable to enable students to pursue and achieve their educational and vocational goals. As a public institution, the College does not promote any particular political or religious point of view, but rather encourages exploration of many points of view.

Discussion and expression of all views within the College shall be limited only as allowed by law.

Members of the campus community shall have the right to freely and peaceably assemble in accordance with the exercise of their constitutional rights.

Note: This policy replaced retired Board Policy 620. The language from the former three-digit policy was adopted without change for this new four-digit policy number.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
