Act

The First Amendment gives us all a great deal of power by allowing us to express ourselves almost without reservation. It is important to note, however, that freedom of speech does not allow us to silence those with whom we disagree.

Our ability to limit speakers in public outdoor areas of campus is further constrained by Florida’s Campus Free Expression Act. The Act requires that all public outdoor areas of campus are available for expressive activity by all. Therefore, UNF cannot limit expressive activity to certain public outdoor areas of campus or require notice before a speaker wishes to come to a public outdoor area.

Planning an Event

There are numerous indoor and outdoor event spaces on UNF's campus. In addition to booking rooms within the Student Union, SU staff also is responsible for scheduling outdoor spaces for a variety of events and tabling opportunities. Find out more about reserving outdoor spaces or rooms in the Student Union.

Let’s explore some ways you can express disagreements with or communicate the offensiveness of another’s freedom of expression.
