Free Expression Facilitators.  Free Expression Facilitators may attend various campus programs, meetings, and events where University policy on freedom of expression may be challenged. These neutral facilitators are Princeton staff members who have been selected to uphold the University’s commitment to freedom of expression and ensure that University guidelines governing free expression are followed. Free Expression Facilitators uphold the following: (i) ensuring that participants have the opportunity to express themselves in peaceful, non-disruptive ways; (ii) reasonably accommodating counter-protests; (iii) safeguarding the essential functioning of University operations; and, (iv) protecting an individual’s right to hear, see, and engage with a speaker or listen to a lecture. Department of Public Safety Officers may also attend such programs, meetings, and events.

Free Expression Coordinators.  In support of this effort, a team of Free Expression Coordinators rotate in serving as the administrative lead for a particular protest, demonstration, or contentious program, and liaise with program sponsors. Free Expression Coordinators seek to provide relevant information to individuals and groups that intend to engage in free expression and assist with site preparation.
