Relevant Excerpt

This procedure protects and regulates speech, expression, and assembly of students, faculty members, staff members, and members of the public on campus or participating in University sponsored activities.

...

Other generally applicable or narrowly localized rules, written and unwritten, incidentally limit the time, place, and manner of speech, but are too numerous to compile or cross-reference here...Reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules of this kind generally control over the rights of free speech guaranteed in this procedure. But even these kinds of rules are subject to the constitutional right of free speech. Such rules must be viewpoint neutral and not restrict speech more than is reasonably necessary to serve their purpose.
