13-53-51. Use of outdoor areas as public forum--Reasonable restrictions--Expressive activity in other areas not limited. Any outdoor area within the boundaries of a public institution of higher education constitutes a designated public forum for the benefit of students, faculty, administrators, other employees, and their invited guests, to engage in expressive activity, unless access to the area is otherwise properly restricted.
A public institution of higher education may maintain and enforce lawful reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions regarding the use of the outdoor areas described in this section, if such restrictions are clear, narrowly tailored in the service of a significant institutional interest, published, content- and viewpoint- neutral, and provide alternate means of engaging in the expressive activity. Any such restrictions shall allow students, faculty, administrators, and other employees to spontaneously and contemporaneously assemble, as long as their conduct is not unlawful and does not materially and substantially disrupt the functioning of the institution. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as limiting the right of students, faculty, administrators, and other employees to engage in protected expressive activity elsewhere within the boundaries of the institution. An institution may not designate any area within its boundaries as a free speech zone or otherwise restrict expressive activities to particular areas within its boundaries in a manner that is inconsistent with this section.
