Distribution of printed material on
campus.
Publications, handbills, leaflets, statements, and
similar materials except those which are commercial, obscene,
or unlawful in character may be distributed without review or
approval by any enrolled student or recognized group of
students enrolled at Olympic College. It is to be understood
that such materials do not necessarily represent the views of
the college or the board of trustees. Such materials may be
distributed from authorized public areas in the student center
and at any outdoor area on campus consistent with the
maintenance of college property, with the free flow of traffic
and persons, and not in a manner which in itself limits the
orderly operation of college affairs.
((Distribution of any printed materials by persons not
members of the college community shall be prohibited unless
approved in advance by the vice-president of student services
or designee.))
