The University of Florida Doesn’t Play When It Comes to Dealing with Protesters

As anti-Israel protests continue to pop up at colleges across the country, the University of Florida has apparently decided to get ahead of the game. The university released their list of allowed and not allowed behaviors when it comes to campus protests—and I have to say it’s perfect.

I’ll let the list speak for itself:

Allowable Activities

Speech
Expressing viewpoints
Holding signs in hands

Prohibitive Items and Activities

No amplified sound
No demonstrations inside buildings
No littering
No sleeping
No unmanned signs
No blocking ingress/egress
No building of structures (chairs, stakes, benches, tables)
No camping, including tents, sleeping bags, pillows, etc.
No disruption
No threats
No violence
No weapons
Any other items and/or activities deemed to be non-compliant with policy and regulations by university officials.

Consequences for Non-Compliance

Individuals found responsible for engaging in prohibited activities shall be trespassed from campus.
Students will receive a 3 year trespass and suspension.
Employees will be trespassed and separated from employment.

“No sleeping” had me rolling.

And their response gets even better.

Fox News reports:

When reached for comment about the memo, University of Florida VP of Communications James Wegmann told FOX Business, “This is Adulting 101: Actions have consequences.”

We need more VPs of Communications like this one, please and thank you. 

“Actions have consequences” is right.  And if students don’t know that by the time they are 18 and in college, well, there isn’t much hope for them.

We could have used a list like this back in December when those maniacs ruined my trip to the Christkindlmarkt.

Yup, still mad about that.

Anyway, GO GATORS.
