Iraqi-American Filmmaker Usama Alshaibi Film Screening & Discussion

The University of Denver is committed to a culture of robust debate, open dialogue, and facilitation of free expression on its campus. When speech or other forms of creative expression are disrupted, an unacceptable denial of freedom may result. Acts of protest or disagreement with a speaker on the University campus may not unduly interfere with communication between the speaker and the audience. If parties cause a disruption that unduly interferes with those communications, the Event Organizer will notify the parties that such interference is unacceptable. If the parties continue to unduly interfere with those communications, Campus Safety will use measures to stop the interference, which may include physical removal of the responsible parties from the area. This prohibition against undue interference does not include suppression of the usual range of reactions commonly displayed by an audience during a robust discussion of controversial ideas. For more information on the University’s policies on Freedom of Expression and Speaker/Public Events, please see University Policy PROV 2.30.081 – Statement of Policy and Principles on Freedom of Expression, University Policy PROV 2.30.083 – Interim Policy on Demonstrations, Protest, and Free Expression, and University Policy PROV 2.30.080 – Speaker and Public Events.
