Students, groups and campus organizations may invite and hear any persons of their own choosing subject only to the following policy established by the Board of Trustees: a. Preamble: An essential part of the education of students is the availability of diverse viewpoints expressed by speakers invited to campus by responsible student organizations. To be given a respectful hearing, whether or not the listener agrees with them and to reach an intelligent decision on the evidence at hand, are some of the cherished aspects of a democratic society and are experiences to which undergraduates should be introduced. They are a necessary part of free inquiry, the basis on which freedom of teaching and learning rests. Another basic aspect of teaching and learning is the cultivation of maturity and responsibility among students in the exercise of their gifts.Thus, both the institution and its students have a joint responsibility on the matter of speakers to be invited to the campus by student groups. b.Statements of General Procedures: • A speaker or performer may appear on campus on invitation extended by a recognized student organization, whether or not his/her point of view is congenial to the College. • In issuing invitations, student organizations must keep in mind that the sole purpose of such visits is to contribute to the aims of the College as a center of free inquiry and sound learning and the prime responsibility for ensuring that this purpose is served rests on the sponsoring organizations. • The invitations to outside speakers must always represent the desire of a student group and not the will of an external organization. c. Statements of Specific Procedures: Before a firm invitation is extended to the speaker, the sponsoring student organization must: • Register the event with the Calendar Coordinator and the Office of Student Activities; • Be able to meet all financial obligations for the event; • Receive from the speaker or performer his/her willingness to submit to questions after the lecture or performance.
