The college and centers of the District are dedicated to the dissemination of information and ideas, and the presence of engaged scholarly, cultural, and political debate. The ability of the campus community and the community at-large to engage in expressive activity is central to the identity of a community college. Of all social institutions in a democracy, an institution of higher learning has a special responsibility to promote an open atmosphere and to honor the first amendment.
The college and centers of the District are non-public forums, except for the following “Designated Zones” which are reserved for expressive activities that do not violate District policy and are lawful.
The Designated Zones are chosen so as to provide visibility and allow communication to a large number of students, administrators, faculty, and others walking or traveling on the college and centers of the District but also so as not to disrupt educational and other District activities.
There are committees, student centers, clubs and departments at Butte College that are working to provide services, education and advocacy on these issues:
Contact the Associated Students to find out if anyone else is focusing on your topic of interest on campus or how to start a new advocacy group.
