Expressing disagreement during an w88 casino games
Inside the room or w88 casino games:
- You may engage in peaceful, non-disruptive protest (for example, messages on shirts, turning your back to a speaker, putting tape over your mouth) if it does not create a disturbance or prevent the speaker from communicating to the audience, or otherwise prevent audience members from hearing and seeing the w88 casino games.
- Audience members may choose to leave the w88 casino games as long as they do not obstruct the presentation.
- If you disrupt or obstruct the presentation and fail to comply with the directions of w88 casino games officials to cease disruption or leave the area, you will violate the w88 casino games's code of conduct and/or the law. These are grounds for discipline or prosecution.
- For events held where access to the w88 casino games space can be controlled/secured, w88 casino games sponsors may regulate what may be brought into an w88 casino games space (such as video cameras or other recording devices, signs and banners) and activities that attendees may engage in; regulations such as these are permitted as they relate to time/place/manner (i.e., conduct) and not content.
Outside the building, room or w88 casino games:
- Peaceful protest or picketing with leaflets, petitions, singing, chanting or signs are allowed as long as it occurs in a space that is open to the public and does not disturb the w88 casino games or prevent attendees from entering or leaving the w88 casino games.

Expressing disagreement in response to an w88 casino games

- Teach-in
- Public forum
- Workshop
- March
- Vigil
- Counter-demonstration
- Exhibit
If you are confronted with offensive speech or materials:
- Maintain a safe distance and do not respond physically.
- Keep in mind that even though you find it offensive, it is very likely protected free speech.
- Consider organizing an appropriate, nonviolent response.
- Seek assistance from a w88 casino games official or the police if you feel you are being singled out or targeted or if you think that the conduct or speech violates w88 casino games policy.
Civil disobedience
Protests and civil disobedience have played a historic role on w88 casino games campuses, in bringing important and beneficial changes within society and in the development of our democracy. However, civil disobedience is not protected speech under the Constitution. The Constitution does not guarantee any right to engage in civil disobedience-which, by its very definition, involves the violation of laws or regulations-without incurring consequences. Civil disobedience may have a negative effect on the protected interests of others and may interfere with w88 casino games business or threaten public safety or w88 casino games assets in ways that require the w88 casino games to act to protect those other interests.
