Montclair State University's original protest policy was met with criticism for infringing upon First Amendment rights. The revised rules still impose significant restrictions on protest locations.
Community members condemned the original policy as 'excessive,' claiming it unjustly limited students' ability to express themselves on campus through protests and silent actions.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression objected to the revised policy, stating it confines most outdoor spaces, effectively barring students from exercising their free speech rights.
An MSU spokesperson defended the revised distance regulation by noting it is necessary to uphold normal university operations, despite ongoing concerns about free speech limitations.
