OSU-CHS values and protects the constitutional right of free speech. Through this, we seek to provide all members of the OSU community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn.

Pursuant to Oklahoma law, all outdoor areas of the OSU-CHS campus which are generally accessible by the public are areas where speech may occur. The institution cannot restrict speech based upon viewpoint, including in demonstrations or social media posts. OSU-CHS is a public institution and while the institution protects everyone’s right to freedom of speech, the institution does have the ability and the obligation to reasonably restrict speech in certain areas of campus based on time, place, and manner considerations.

To reserve a space on the OSU-CHS campus, follow these instructions:
