Relevant Excerpt

ETSU maintains the generally accessible open, outdoor areas of its campus as traditional public forums for free speech by students. ETSU does not restrict students’ free speech only to particular areas of the campus. ETSU does not deny student activity fee funding to a student organization based on the viewpoints that the student organization advocates. ETSU does not impose requirements that prohibit spontaneous outdoor assemblies or outdoor distribution of literature, though ETSU may maintain a policy that grants members of the college or university community the right to reserve certain outdoor spaces in advance. 

ETSU must not charge students security fees based on the content of their speech, the content of the speech of guest speakers invited by students, or the anticipated reaction or opposition of listeners to speech. 

ETSU allows all students and all faculty to invite guest speakers to campus to engage in free speech regardless of the views of guest speakers. 

ETSU does not disinvite a speaker invited by a student organization, or faculty member because the speaker’s anticipated speech may be considered offensive, unwise, immoral, indecent, disagreeable, conservative, liberal, traditional, radical, or wrong-headed by students, faculty, staff, administrators, government officials, or members of the public.
