REGENTS' STA TEMENT ON DISRUPTIVE BEHA VIOR The following is the policy of ihc Board of Rcfjents reftardin}^ disruptive behavior in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibilities and prohibitions contained in this Statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations. The Board of Regents of the University System of (Georgia reaffirms its policies to support fully freedom of expression by each mem- ber of the academic community and to preserve and protect the rights and freedom of its faculty members and students to engage in debate, decision, peaceful and non-disruptive protest and dissent. The following statement relates specificially to the problem described below. It does not change or in any way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in support of freedom of expression and action. Rather, it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive actions by stu- dents and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through which it operates. In recent years a new and serious problem has ap|)eared on many college and university campuses in the nation. Some sirudents, faculty mcml)ers, and others iiavc on occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and deliberately interfered with the regular and orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have been the physical oc- cupation of a building or cam[)us area for a protracted period of time or the use or display of verbal or written obscenities inv()lving in- decent or disorderly conduct. These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for discussion, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1) ac(piiescence to demands of the demonstrators is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written directions of in- stitutional officials to ered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect or issue of life. This frccdoii'. which reaches its full flowering on college and university campuses, is an essential |>art of American democracy, com|)arai)le to the jury system or the electoral process. For these rcas(ns and in order to respond directly and specificallv to this new problem the Board of Regents stipulates tiiat any student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly obstructs or disrupts any tcacliing. research, administrative, flisciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized to be discharged or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of em|)loyment. The Board reaffirms its belief tiial all segments of the academic community are under a strong obligation and have a mutual respon- sibility to protect tile cam|>us community from disorderly, disru|)tive, or obstructive acti(ns which interfere with academic pursuits of teaching, learning, and other canipus activities. The Board of Regents iniderstands that this policy is consistent with resolutions adopted i)y the American Association of University Professors in April, 1968, by the Association of American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Committee of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.
