Expressive Activity at GVSU

Institutional stance on Expressive Activity

Grand Valley State University strives to create an inclusive and equitable campus community where people are treated with dignity and respect. The university is committed to safeguarding individual’s constitutional rights to free speech and assembly and, we are also committed to addressing incidents that may negatively affect individuals and/or communities at the university. If anyone in the Grand Valley community feels belittled, disrespected, or isolated based on their identity, there is a mechanism through Campus Climate Concern to report the incident.

Grand Valley facilitates educational dialogue to ensure that individuals understand both their right to free expression within the community and the impact of their expression on individuals and/or the community. Any time an incident is reported, the reporting party will be contacted and informed about support resources available to them at the university. Incidents reported through the Campus Climate Concerns system may violate university policies or the student code. These incidents will be investigated through the proper adjudicating body or bodies.
