Introduction
As a college student, I have been on the other side of these debates. I’ve attended events at my university where there were protests and moments where people felt unsafe because they didn’t agree with the speaker’s views or opinions. It’s important to understand that if a university or college has limited access to their campus in order protect students from being offended by someone else’s speech (or lack thereof), then they are within their rights as private institutions to do so
If a private institution, then it’s their right to limit who can access the campus.

If you’re a student at Stanford University and want to speak on campus (or hold an event), you have to go through an approval process that includes multiple levels of review by your school and other entities on campus. The same goes for any person who wants to speak on behalf of Stanford—whether it be a professor, student organization president or just someone with opinions about what should happen in class or at some upcoming event.
Private colleges often choose not to allow certain speakers because they don’t want them talking about certain topics; others may allow certain speakers but only if they are willing not only listen but also interact with them during their time on campus. This means that even though there is no legal requirement for individuals like me who work at EEAI University via contract with our faculty members’ respective institutions within different states across America (and Canada), we still have restrictions placed upon us by administrators within those respective states regarding where we can go off-campus within proximity limits set forth by these officials themselves!
A college campus is not a place of free speech.
Free speech is an important concept, but it’s not the only thing that needs to be taught. A college campus is a place of learning, where students are encouraged to question ideas and explore new ways of thinking.
The purpose of a college campus isn’t just to provide a platform for open discussion—it’s also about educating students on how they can better understand themselves and others in their lives. This means that while we need to teach our young people how valuable free speech is, we also need them to learn why it’s not always right (or even necessary).
The Supreme Court has ruled that colleges and universities have this right.
The Supreme Court has ruled that colleges and universities have this right. In its early days, a college could not restrict the speech of its students in any way; however, as time went on and more people became educated about what constitutes free speech, it was realized that some things may be offensive to some people. Colleges then began to allow students to speak freely—but only if they did not offend others (or even themselves).
In order for someone’s speech to be considered offensive or hurtful by another person, there must first be evidence that it causes harm or distress. If there isn’t enough evidence of this happening at a particular university or college campus in question (for example: if no one ever complains), then no limits can be placed on what kind of speech will take place within those walls
Students who feel uncomfortable or threatened in their class should be able to transfer to another class.
If you were in charge of a university or college campus, how would you handle this situation?
If the student wants to transfer, let them do it.
If they don’t want to transfer classes and say that they don’t feel safe in the class, let them know that if it gets too uncomfortable for them, then they can go somewhere else until things calm down.
If there are bullies in your class who are making fun of other students because their views differ from theirs (or lack thereof), then take action against those individuals by removing them from your course entirely!
Students are allowed to protest speakers on campus, so long as it does not threaten their safety or disrupt the presentation.
The First Amendment protects students’ right to protest speakers on campus. However, it does not give them a right to disrupt the presentation by yelling or throwing things at the speaker.
Students should be respectful of the speaker and other students when protesting in order for there to be no threat to their safety or disruption of that event.
If a public institution, then the government has agreed that this space is a designated space for free speech, and everyone is allowed access(with limitations on time, place and manner)

If you are concerned about your own personal safety while speaking out against something you find offensive or harmful to others’ wellbeing, then we recommend contacting campus police or security staff immediately. If a student experiences abuse or harassment at school because they were speaking out against something they found offensive or harmful to others’ wellbeing — even if it was only within the context of their classwork — then there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind about needing help getting off campus safely!
What defines “offensive” speech? There are many things that people find offensive that others don’t. Whose definition of offensive do we use?

On this issue, the Supreme Court has ruled against student speech restrictions in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969). In Tinker, a high school student was suspended for wearing a black armband to school in protest against racial segregation and discrimination. The court found that his wearing of the armband was not only protected by the First Amendment but also necessary for him to express himself as an activist through his conduct at school; therefore, it was not considered “fighting words” or “true threats,” which would have made him ineligible for suspension under Iowa Code § 708(1) (2000). This decision has stood as precedent throughout subsequent cases involving free expression rights on campus even though there is still no clear-cut definition of what constitutes “offensive” speech or how far students should be allowed go before administrators intervene.[1]
Most universities have guidelines for being present on campus, codes of conduct for individuals participating in events on campus, etc. These would be enforced regardless of the speaker(s) at a public forum.

The consequences for violating these guidelines or codes of conduct may vary between different schools and colleges. For example, some schools may not allow students who have been expelled from their school to participate in any kind of event or activity within its grounds (e.g., a concert or educational program), while other schools might only restrict an individual’s participation if he/she has been convicted of sexual assault or violence against another person. In addition to these penalties imposed by their respective institutions’ administrators (whether they’re governors), there are also civil liability issues that could result when someone files suit against another party involved with such events—such as journalists who cover them—if they feel threatened by what was said during those sessions
Conclusion
In conclusion, the student’s right to an education should trump the speaker’s right to speak. If students feel that their safety is in jeopardy during an event or presentation on campus, then they should be able to transfer or drop out of class without penalty.
