is an intrusion on First Amendment rights

The proposed unilateral ban on student protests would constitute an infringement on their First Amendment right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. As citizens, students retain their constitutional liberties while on campus grounds. Curtailing their ability to voice dissent raises concerning implications for free expression. A public dialogue addressing the underlying grievances motivating these demonstrations may prove more constructive than pursuing punitive measures that could escalate tensions. I urge you to carefully consider the ramifications of imposing such restrictions and explore alternative avenues that uphold both order and civil liberties.
