Manhattanville College is committed to the basic rights of free speech and press and at the same time affirms the obligation of all members of the College both to maintain an atmosphere conducive to the educational purposes of the College and to respect the rights and privileges of all individuals.
Members of the College who intend to publish statements or to speak publicly should consider carefully the effects of their statements on the sensitivities of other individual or groups.
The College holds discussions in an open forum, which allows members of the community to express issues of shared concern. The distribution of signed statements, publications and petitions is welcome unless they disrupt, based upon the principles of time, place, and manner, the regular and essential operations of the College, or infringe on the rights of others. Any organization on campus is free to invite speakers its members wish to hear on campus. The presence of speakers or the existence of any publication issued by an individual or group of the College does not necessarily imply the College’s support of the view expressed.
