The University of Virginia is a community in which the ideals of freedom of inquiry, thought, and expression are respected and sustained. The University is committed to supporting the exercise of constitutionally protected expression in University-controlled facilities and property while maintaining a safe atmosphere free from disruption. The University has issued a "Statement on Free Expression and Free Inquiry," available here.
Promoting free expression and free inquiry on Grounds is core to our mission and integral to who we are. That commitment to protect and promote expressive activity lives alongside a responsibility to ensure that the Grounds are equally open and accessible to all members of the University community, and that we offer our students, faculty, staff, and visitors a safe and welcoming environment in which to live, learn, and work as we maintain normal operations.
