CSU Directive: Time, Place, and Manner Policy (Fall 2024)
CSU Directive: Time, Place, and Manner Policy (Fall 2024)
The CSU Chancellor has issued a directive concerning activities that are strictly prohibited on university property. These prohibitions are not new to CSULB, but have been incorporated into the Time, Place, and Manner Policy and are supported by California law.
Encampments and camping. No person shall camp, occupy camping facilities, use camping paraphernalia, or store personal property for camping, whether indoors or outdoors. No one may erect a tent or other temporary housing or occupy any tent or temporary housing structure. No person shall set up a campsite, or bring, leave, or maintain furniture or other large household or camping items.
Unauthorized structures and barriers. No person shall build, construct, erect, place, set up, move, deliver, or maintain any temporary or permanent tent, platform, bench, building, building materials, wall, barrier, barricade, fencing, structure, sculpture, bicycle rack, or furniture.
Restricting free movement. No person shall restrict the movement of another person or persons by any means, including blocking or obstructing their ingress or egress or otherwise denying a person access to normally unrestricted areas.
Masking to conceal identity with intent to violate laws or policies. No person shall wear a mask or personal disguise for the purpose of concealing their identity with the intent of intimidating any person or group or for the purpose of evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification in the commission of violations of the law or policy.
Occupation of buildings and facilities. No person shall occupy buildings and facilities or engage in trespass or any other violation of applicable law.
Vandalism and other damage. No person shall vandalize, damage, or destroy university property.
These directives have been and are in effect immediately for all students and employees, as well as all other community members, including represented employees. Violating these directives (or any other illegal activity) violates the law and will be enforced accordingly.
