SECTION IX - OUTDOOR SPACE
The University grounds open to the general public where all persons may exercise the constitutionally protected rights of free expression, speech, assembly, worship and distribution and sale of non-commercial literature incidental to the exercise of these freedoms are:
For the purposes of these regulations, "grounds open to the public generally" are defined as the outdoor areas of the campus (lawns, patios, plazas) that are at least 25 feet from the entrances/exits of campus buildings and parking lots, and that are also a safe distance from the curbings of campus roads. All activity in these areas must be conducted in such a way that traffic is not disrupted. Tables or moveable stands may not be placed in areas where passages to any entrances or walkways are blocked. Only registered campus organizations and official units of the University can set up tables or moveable stands without a permit from the Price Center Director.
All events carried on in outdoor space require calendaring (See Section V of this PPM) and are subject to regular procedures for organized usage by external organizations/individuals as described in Section IV of this PPM.
Unless otherwise approved by the UCSD official designated for the site, the campus policy permits the use of amplified sound on Monday through Friday between 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the above Free Speech and Advocacy Areas plus:
Non-University speakers may exercise their constitutional right to express themselves in those areas of the campus open to the public generally, including the open discussion areas listed above, so long as there is no interference with a scheduled use and no amplification is used.
