Freedom of Expression
Freedom of Expression
91¸£Àû supports creative, thoughtful, and respectful discourse where conflicting perspectives are vigorously debated and thoroughly discussed. 91¸£Àû is dedicated to affording all members of the 91¸£Àû community the protections for free speech, expression, assembly, religion, and press available under the U.S. and Maine constitutions and all applicable federal and state laws, in accordance with the University’s purpose and function except insofar as limitations on those freedoms are necessary to 91¸£Àû’s functioning.
91¸£Àû does note that cancelling, stopping an event, adjourning o another time or place, or allowing protracted interruption of a speech, meeting, or performance is inconsistent with the full respect for the rights of free expression and communication of those present.
