Not all demonstrations are unlawful. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that certain activity is protected under the U.S. Constitution. However, participating in a demonstration or other activity, or inciting others to participate in such activity, is prohibited when such activity disrupts or obstructs teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, free flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or other University functions, including its public service functions on or off campus, or other authorized non-University activities when the act occurs on University premises.
In the event of a civil disturbance, you should immediately contact Campus Security at 740.283.6911 or 911 and be prepared to give information such as the name of the individual(s) or group, if known; the location and size of the group; and whether any weapons are involved.
Avoid provoking or obstructing demonstrators, and avoid the area of the disturbance.
While you should continue to conduct normal business operations as much as possible, if it becomes necessary, you should cease operations and evacuate. If the disturbance is outside, stay away from doors or windows, and stay inside.
