Campus Posting
Dear campus community, This fall, UCI and other campuses have been subjected to unauthorized poster distribution by external organizations unaffiliated with the University of California. The posters were removed because they violated posting policy on campus property. The content of these unauthorized posters was troubling. They targeted students, faculty and administrators by name and/or caricature. The inflammatory assertions sought to discredit individuals, smear student organizations, and associate specific communities with illegal activities. This rhetoric was not confined to the physical campus. They also included external social media conversations where university policies do not extend. Regardless of where these incidents took…

Yet, we must protect everyone’s right to express themselves without disruption. This concept is clearly articulated in our policies and campus messaging. We will hold firm in enforcing it. On May 10, 2017, an on-campus discussion sponsored by Students Supporting Israel was interrupted by shouting and chanting from a group of individuals who entered the session during the question-and-answer period. The group left after several minutes and the event continued as planned….
