The University of California and Cal State systems are implementing stricter protest rules this fall, aimed at managing encampments and ensuring campus safety and access.
Critics express concern that these new restrictions may infringe upon free speech, especially as they limit tent encampments and blockages that became prominent in prior protests.
UC President Michael Drake emphasized the need for policies that foster free expression while maintaining safety, urging campus leaders to develop guidelines that reflect these priorities.
The shift towards more restrictive protest rules comes after heightened demonstrations across campuses last spring, prompting colleges to reassess how protests can be conducted.
