Definitions

The outdoor areas of our colleges have been deemed a traditional public forum. Therefore, public members are free to exercise express activities outdoors as long as they do not interfere with the college's operations.

Free speech and expressive activities must not:

• attract a crowd more significant than the location of the spontaneous expressive activity can safely be contained.
• significantly disrupt college activities inside or outside buildings (including classes); must not significantly disrupt previously scheduled campus events.
• utilize any amplification devices.
• obstruct entrances or exits to buildings and must remain 20 feet from any entrances or exits.
• obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
• include camping or using temporary shelters (e.g., tents).
• affix items to any permanent structure or grounds (i.e, railings buildings, greenways, tree, etc.).
• light any material on fire except for hand-held candles, which may be used with special permission (other open flames devices and bonfires are strictly prohibited).
• last longer than eight hours during a 24-hour period.
• involve solicitations or promotion of commercial enterprises.
• represent a threat to public safety or violate the policies or procedures approved by the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia or others under the authority of the State Board, according to the discretion of college police.
