This policy shall apply to students enrolled at �鶹��ý�Ŷ�.

It is the policy of the State University of New York (SUNY) to issue identification cards to students at its campuses. �鶹��ý�Ŷ� requires all students to carry a valid �鶹��ý�Ŷ� identification card while on campus to ensure the safety of students and the entire campus community.

Student

The identification card (including digital identification cards) must be presented or surrendered upon request of a duly authorized College official, including but not limited to Residence Life staff, University Police, Student and Campus Life staff, and students, contractors, or other staff authorized by the College to supervise campus events, activities, and residence halls. Individuals may be required to reveal their faces to confirm identity when needed to maintain campus safety or security. Upon request, students must show all identifying information shown on the card and/or surrender the card to the requesting official.

Intentional refusal to present or surrender a student identification card upon request by a College official; alteration or falsification of data on an identification card; creation and/or distribution of falsified identification cards; using an identification card to impersonate others; or refusal to reveal one’s face to confirm identity; are violations of this policy and may result in disciplinary action.

It is the student’s responsibility to replace the identification card if it is confiscated, stolen, lost, bent, broken, or worn beyond the point of readability by College officials and/or card readers used by the College. Replacement cards may be obtained at the I.D. Office, in accordance with posted fees.

�鶹��ý�Ŷ� identification cards are provided for appropriate identification use and access to buildings and services. The cards are not transferable and are valid as long as the holder continues their specific affiliation with the campus. A campus identification card is to be used only by the person to whom it is issued. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to Campus Auxiliary Services and Residence Life for residential students.

Campus Auxiliary Services, and the College are not liable for any charges or other damages incurred if an ID is lost and used by another.

Assembly Time, Place, and Manner Conditions for Public Areas on Campus Grounds

Free speech and peaceful assembly are fundamental to the purpose of a college as a center for open inquiry in the search for knowledge and insight. �鶹��ý�Ŷ� is strongly committed to the protection of these rights. However, these rights bring with them a concurrent obligation to maintain a campus atmosphere conducive to scholarly pursuits, residential living, and respect for the rights of all individuals.

As stated in the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustee’s Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order:

No student, faculty member or other staff member or authorized visitor shall be subject to any limitation or penalty for expressing his or her views or for assembling with others for such purpose; peaceful picketing and other orderly demonstrations in public areas of campus grounds and buildings are not subject to interference provided there are no violations of the rules included in this policy and the aforementioned Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order.

Assemblies, demonstrations, and similar expressions of First Amendment rights may not infringe on the rights of others or disrupt essential operations of the College.

General Procedures for Assemblies

The use of amplification equipment will not be permitted.
The construction of shelters and other temporary structures or camping on campus grounds is prohibited.
Dangerous instruments as defined by NYS Penal Law, including but not limited to poles, flag poles, bats and other similar athletic items, clubs, sticks (including sticks used to hold signs) are not permitted.
Possession and/or ignition of an open flame of any type, including, but not limited to, torches are not permitted.
Entry into any private office of an administrative officer, member of faculty, or staff member, or entry into any other college area that is not authorized, without permission is not permitted.
Occupation of a College building after it is normally closed is not permitted.
Obstruction of any entry or exit of a campus building and roadways running through or adjoining the College’s campus grounds is not permitted.
All individuals participating in protests and demonstrations are required to provide a form of University issued or government issued identification upon request from a College official.
The use of campus grounds does not imply the College’s endorsement of any organization or activity.
The College will not interfere with Peaceful Picketing or Other Orderly Demonstrations on campus grounds provided that the SUNY Board of Trustees' Rules for Maintenance of Public Order are upheld at all times.

Application for Planned Assemblies and Demonstrations in Public Areas by Unaffiliated Party(s)

Unaffiliated Party(s) interested in using the campus grounds for assembly, picketing, or demonstrations are required to inform the college of their intentions and obtain authorization through the Office of the Vice President for Student and Campus Life. Two business day minimum advance notice is required. Applicants to utilize campus grounds are required to submit the Application for Use of the Designated Public Forum or the following information to the Office of Campus Scheduling and Special Events:

their name(s);
the name of their organization;
the location sought;
the date and time of the planned demonstration;
the number of persons expected to participate; and
the manner of demonstration.

Once authorization is given by the Vice President for Student and Campus Life, the applicant’s information will be forwarded to the Office of Campus Scheduling and Special Events. Applicants shall review the College’s Facilities Use policy and procedures.

Authorization to assemble or demonstrate on campus grounds will be granted provided that:

the applicant’s status with the campus is not “persona non grata,” or there is not a court order prohibiting the applicant’s presence on campus;
the proposed time, place, or manner of assembly or demonstration is not during an exclusion period (as defined above) or would not prevent, disrupt, or unreasonably interfere with the regular academic and institutional activities or other essential operations of the College;
the proposed assembly time is requested for a four-hour time block or less between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. during the academic year, and between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. during the summer;
the applicants agree to comply with any and all federal, state, local, and campus mandates;
the proposed assembly or demonstration would not unreasonably obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic;
the proposed assembly or demonstration would not violate the SUNY Board of Trustees’ Rules for Maintenance of Public Order.

The College will evaluate the location requested for each assembly or demonstration individually based on availability and the need to conduct its regular academic and institutional activities. If the requested location is deemed as inappropriate based on the needs of the college, a reasonably appropriate alternative location will be authorized by the college.

All assembly or demonstration requests will be acted on in a manner reflecting viewpoint neutrality.

If, in the reasonable judgment of College officials, an activity is not consistent with the characteristics previously articulated by the users when they notified the College or the activity has been misrepresented, authorization to use campus grounds will be withdrawn and the activity in progress will be halted.

The College reserves the right to terminate any use of college property in the event that either the speaker or a participant or participant engages in conduct that violates the SUNY Board of Trustees Rules for Maintenance of Public Order.
