Policies and Regulations Affecting Student Life

BOARD OF REGENTS POLICIES AND RULES

NOTE: The Iowa State Board of Regents, by resolution adopted July 10, 1970, established the following policies and rules applicable to all universities under the Board's jurisdiction.

In recent months this Board has given, and will continue to give, intensive consideration to campus unrest. We have noted that throughout the nation recent events, including campus disorders, have raised serious questions about the ability of universities to continue to serve as effective centers of learning. The conditions which have produced these events are national, and even international, in scope. The causes are multiple and the solutions not simple. While we works as a nation towards the solution of the underlying problems of our society, we must also insure that our universities remain open as centers of free inquiry.This Board, charged by law with responsibility for the governance of the public universities of Iowa, reaffirms the following beliefs and intentions which will continue to serve as bases for the discharges of the Board's responsibilities:
1. The citizens of this State have established and supported the state universities in order to make higher education available at reasonable cost. It is the responsibility of this Board to insure that this purpose is not subverted.
2. Neither violence nor the threat of violence has any place in a university.
3. Freedom of inquiry and freedom of expression are indispensable elements of academic life.
4. The freedom to express dissent by lawful means, including peaceable assembly and petitions to authorities, is no less important on a university campus than elsewhere in our society.
5. The exercise of this freedom to dissent must not interfere with the right of others.
6. Adaptation and change are necessary processes by which an institution renews and preserves itself.
