Public Activity
On-campus public activity on the part of the members of the University community complements the University’s academics.
The University views it as an obligation to allow the members of its community to fully express opinions, outlooks, and beliefs, and to maintain a dialogue about them.
Public activity is defined as any political, social, cultural, entertainment, or academic (other than teaching) activity, including rallies, protests, lectures, distributing flyers, putting up booths, showing movies, and any other public activity (including enclosed spaces), except for activities held by specific University units.
Every on-campus public activity must meet the following conditions:.
- Uphold the laws of the State of Israel.
- Maintain University regulations and procedures and protect its property
- Not interfere with the routine of teaching, research, and work on campus.
No public activity may be held during the first ten days of any semester, during school holidays, or on the eve of the Sabbath and holidays, and also not on official days of commemoration or days the University marks by not holding classes.
Students or a student cell seeking to hold a public activity must contact the Dean of Students via an application form and hold the activity only after receiving approval.
