Thank you. This is a good starting point for the information I will be providing to UCOP. We haven't had time to finalize the name of team yet but the work is the most important thing. Feel free to call if on my cell if you need to reach me for anything.

Thanks again.

Griselda and Brett,

The Freedom of Expression Resource Team will be activated and present at activities throughout the Day of Action on October 7. We will be in place to support freedom of expression, maintain safety and assist in preventing disruption of normal campus activities. Discretion will be required in the implementation of time, place and manner regulations to achieve our goal of supporting freedom of expression and safety.

As we monitor Facebook and website announcements to get a better idea of activities for the day, we will finalize the shift schedule for our 16 member resource team. We will follow our activism response protocol: Andrew Wells and I will coordinate throughout the day in communication with you and the AVC team. I assume Fred will have the campus leadership team in place to make decisions as issues arise throughout the day. You can indicate whether we will activate the Emergency Operations Center. The resource team will have an emergency contact list for campus resources from Police, Labor Relations, Campus Counsel and Student Affairs, including CAPS and CAN counselors. As always, we will work in collaboration with Police and other campus staff on site.

A general assembly of students has been called for Monday, October 4, at 7pm outside Wellman Hall to plan October 7 activities. As plans are not likely to be communicated on the usuallistservs, Student Affairs staff and Labor Relations can be asked to report everything they hear to you so that we can be prepared to support students and maintain safety. If there are faculty teach-ins or walkouts, we should expect to hear announcements about them soon.

I also assume Student Affairs will consult with Police and the leadership team in advance to confirm whether we will handle things in a similar fashion to March 4 (e.g., if students march through classroom buildings or the library or occupy a bus terminal area, will we just keep them moving rather than block access). If you think UCOP wants to know today how the campus will support or respond to certain activities, that will require a leadership team decision.

Please let me know if you need more information for the response. Also, can you ask Stacy to forward links to any announcements your staff finds?

Anne

Hi All,

I'm writing to touch base on a question I raised during our last conference call regarding the Oct. 7 Defend Public Education Day of Action. I understand this is intended to be another one of those actions to be observed by activities across the nation. Based on previous experience and the continued issues surrounding affordability, we know this will garner significant activity among some UC campuses. During move in, our students and union representatives distributed fliers publicizing the event. We are anticipating significant demonstration activity that day and I surmise other campuses will also. Here's a link htto:{/defendcapubliceducation.wordpress.coml <http://defendcapubliceducation.wordpress.com/>and the flier that was distributed om my campus is attached. As you can see, there's a good bit of buzz starting. The anarchist graffiti is already appearing on our campus, their involvement invariably creates problems ... Are you all interested in a conference call to share how your campus is approaching this issue, or could you please reply to this message and give me a sense of the level of activity you're anticipating and how you plan to respond.

Hope the fall is off to a good beginning for you!

Best, Felicia

I'll confirm tomorrow when I've heard back from Mike.

Colleagues,

This message just got posted to the CALPIRG website. Additionally, I just talked with our AS President and he informed me students from UC Berkeley and around the region are expected to come to the campus during the event. He also informed me that the Davis College Democrats have teamed up with the Brown Campaign and that they moved their viewing party from Chem 194 to the Bistro 33. They reserved the entire restaurant and Jerry Brown might join them after the debate. If things pan out, we may have a capacity issue at Vanderhoef Quad.

I called him back but was not able to reach him. When I talk with him, I'll let him know the ground rules--no screens. However,clearly, this has been become a regional event and I am concerned about the number of students from other campuses who may show up for the activities outside of the Mondavi Center. If we have a large number of people trying to watch the debate outside, I wonder if we should revisit the option of opening up the conference center for viewing opportunities inside between 6 and 7 pm. I know there is concern about providing security at another venue but it may be easier than trying to manage a large crowd outside along with the politics of a highly visible "private viewing party" at the GSM building. The Student Affairs Activism Team will be activated and could be assigned to the Conference Center Ballroom if needed. The ballroom is already reserved by the event sponsors. What are your thoughts at this point?

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you to all you for sharing your thoughts as I work with students. It will be helpful to have the ground rules in writing as soon as possible. Things are always very fluid with students (and off campus folks) but at this point, I don't have the sense that they want to "make a scene and disrupt". I believe they want the same thing Mike Roth talked about, an opportunity to be part of the energy of the event and some will want to take advantage of the media and get their messages across in a way that shapes and influences the news of the day during the noon, five o'clock and eleven o'clock news. Its unfortunate the MU renovations will not be completed in time to have viewing parties at the coffee house and that ARC ballroom is booked. Everyone will access to the debate on their computers or televisions or at private viewing parties but it's the excitement and energy about being at the location that might fill the quad area that day. I appreciate and understand the reasons for not opening up the conference center as expressed by Claudia and Joyce and we will encourage students to respect the ground rules. I think it's safe to assume the crowd will stay as long as the media is around.

We're going to use the conference center ballrooms for KCRA's "fact check" segment with a panel of about 8 of our students and 2 of our professors. Political Science and UC Center Sacramento are identifying the students, with possible help from GSM and law. Jim Sweeney and I have one instructor lined up and are working on the other.

Conference center will remain closedtothe general public. louisewill work with us on appropriate staffing - probably one person who is familiar with the conference center.

Not sure I would offer a venue that would actually keep them in the area. If they really want to watch the debate they should probably be directed to one of the locations away from Vanderhoff Quad.

My thoughts no reason to encourage them hanging around once the 5:30 news shots are over.

My last reply sent accidentally before I finished. Others may overrule me, but I think this is impractical and would stretch our team to the point that something else would suffer. The conference center is reserved by ucomm and the sponsors -- bee, cpr, kcra -- are splitting the hefty fee for it (we weren't able to cancel and get money back). I hope the students don't consider it empty and available. Even if money could be found to reimburse ucomm and the sponsors for the fee, rent a screen, hire mediaworks to set it up, pay for additional security and any other costs, I don't see how our logistics group could pull this off less thana week before the event. I'm all for indudingstudents and started loBBYing to have student viewing organized back in august. It is too late to add another big event to the quad. One not insignificant concern is that bringing hundreds of students onto the quad with laptops might overwhelm the wireless/cellular infrastructure Communications Resources has put in place to support the spin room and kcra. We have many other walls on campus where students can project the webcast. Claudia

Fred,

Attached is the flyer for what is being proposed for November 16-an all day 'Teach Out" at the Quad. I have arranged for a 9:30 am conference call this morning with our Student Activism Team Coordinators, Elizabeth Meyer, Mat! Carmichael and Joyce Souza. At this point, I will plan for staff coverage at multiple locations:

• Quad-all day • Mrak Hall and Mondavi Center (following noon time rally)

However, this is subject to change as the event unfolds.

"Defend Public Education"

U.C. DAVIS GRAD-UNDERGRAD TEACH-OUT

16 NOVEMBER ON THE QUAD gam - Spm Speakers at Noon

about quad. as they

A teach out event to bring broader awareness to our current crisis in public education has been scheduled for November 16th at UC Davis. Concerned graduate and undergraduate students will come together on the quad to create a different kind of classroom space - one that is collaborative, communal, and public. TA's and AI's will be able to bring their classes to workshops and discussions or to cover their normal course material in public and in solidarity and unity with others. UC undergrads are facing another fee increase, and grad students continue to work without a contract and are preparing for a potential strike! Let's make it clear that we share this struggle; that our working conditions and our learning conditions are the same! And that together: WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY!

If you'd like more info or would like someone to facilitate a discussion for your class, please contact: ucd-in-defense-of-public- [email protected]<mailto:ucd-in-defense[email protected]>

Schedule for November 16-18 Regent's Meeting Once again, the Regents will meet to increase fees, decrease access to the UC and give themselves big bonuses. Let's stop them!

Nov. 16: Early morning picket of California Hall. Be there at 6:30 AM SO we can greet the senior administrators as they come in to work. We're demanding that they actively oppose the fee increase, abandon Operational Excellence and its 200 layoffs, end the repression of student protesters via the widely-criticized Office of Student Conduct, and endorse and help negotiate a fair contract for GSls and other staff in contract negotiations. Please arrive at 6:30 AM. We will be there all morning. Rally @ 12 noon.

Nov. 17: Early AM protest at the Regents' Meeting (UCSF, Rutter Center). Let's shut it down! We need as many people as possible at the Regents Meeting as early as possible. From the East Bay, take BART to the downtown San Francisco Embarcadero Station and then transfer to the MUNI T -Line. There are some buses leaving from UC Berkeley. You can reserve a seat here.

Finally, here are links to some inspiring news from London, where 52,000 people have mobilized in defense of education and against austerity. It's nice to be reminded that we are part of a global anti-austerity movement:

It still appears the students are not interested in the G3 which is good. Hopefully the positive influence of the event and the fact this event will showcase our campus will overpower the need to disrupt it. What can I say, I am an optimist.

Dear Maril,

I conveyed the Chancellor's query about closing Mrak to Fred. At this point, we both feel strongly that locking down the building entirely would have more costs (disruption of business for students and staff, symbolic-fortress Mrak, the image of angry students pounding on the doors) than benefits. We have no indication at this pOint that there is any plan among the students to do anything besides peaceful protest-Griselda is continuing to do her careful work with them from the inside. Therefore, we propose to continue to monitor the situation at noon on the quad. If at any time we sense that the intent of the students has changed and that there is a threat to staff who work in the building, we will lock down (just as we did when the students marched to the freeway last year).

Dear Colleagues:

I'm hoping that we can get together virtually, by email, and see if we can come up to date without a phone meeting to discuss the prospect of further student activity in Mrak and sort out how we will respond to it.

For now, I plan to start out with the fifth floor locked down. I am asking Carmen to assess the meeting traffic in 203 to see if we can lock it down without too much disruption. However, if I hear from Griselda and Lora Jo that we may have a pause in activity pending next week's meetings, I think that it may be ok to go off lockdown. Please let me know what you think.

If we do have more student activity today-Annette, I understand that your team may be spread thin with other Chancellor-related obligations. Should that fact change our strategy in regard to Mrak Hall secrurity. Our strategy yesterday was not to lock down the building in advance of the student's arrival, thinking it was better from a number of perspectives to have a noisy, but not too angry crowd inside than have an angry crowd outside-even if that meant the possibility of having to remove students later. Is there a reason to rethink that strategy today?

Bob, We are working with the chancellor today, but that should affect Lt. Pike and possibly one other officer. Dur staffing is slightly thinner today, but if needed we would call for mutual aid. I think we will know more by the noon hour. Our officers are on alert for any gatherings and will report in with that info. We are comfortable with keeping the building open. If the fifth floor closure doesn't cause any real issues and it makes the staff feel safer, then I would suggest keeping it locked down.

10.36 FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Distinguisbing lawful beckling from unlawful disruption

The June 15,2010 Los Angeles Times and other national media have reported on the proposed suspension of a Muslim student group at the University of California at Irvine ("UC Irvine recommends suspension of campus' Muslim student group"). The suspension was prompted by a finding that the group disrupted a February 8, 2010 campus speech by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren.

According to the Times:

[ Ambassador] Oren was shouted down repeatedly by Muslim students who stood up and delivered statements such as "Michael Oren, propagating murder is not an expression of free speech." Supporters cheered as the students were escorted away by police, and each time Oren attempted to resume his speech, another student jumped up with another outburst.

The UC-Irvine case raises a perennial campus issue: How should educators distinguish between lawful heckling and unlawful disruption? A leading case on this topic is In re Kay, 464 P.2d 142 (Cal. 1970). In Kay the California Supreme Court set aside the conviction of four protesters who had participated with others in "rhythmical clapping and some shouting for about five or ten minutes" during a Congressman's speech. The court wrote that:

"Audience activities, such as heckling, interrupting, harsh questioning, and booing, even though they may be impolite and discourteous, can nonetheless advance the goals of the First Amendment. For many citizens such participation in public meetings, whether supportive or critical of the speaker, may constitute the only manner in which they can express their views to a large number of people; the Constitution does not require that the

2

I .1

effective expression of ideas be restricted to rigid and predetennined patterns ... "

The right to heckle, however, isn't absolute. The court in Kay stated that: "[T]he state retains a legitimate concern in ensuring that some individuals' unruly assertion of their rights of free expression does not imperil other citizens' rights of free association and discussion ... Freedom of everyone to talk at once can destroy the right of anyone effectively to talk at all. Free expression can expire as tragically in the tumult of license as in the silence of censorship ... "

The Kay court then set forth the following standard: [Punishment may be pennitted if] the defendant substantially impaired the conduct. of the Il1eetillg 1:>yintentio1J,llIlYc:Qmmittingactsinviolation of implicit customs or usages or of explicit rules for governance of the meeting, of which he knew, or as a reasonable man should have known. In applying these standards, the nature of a meeting necessarily plays a major role ... The customs and usages at political conventions may countenance prolonged, raucous, boisterous demonstrations as an accepted element of the meeting process; similar behavior would violate the customs and usages of a church service. Audience participation may be enthusiastically welcomed at a bonfire football rally or an athletic contest, but considered taboo at a solemn ceremony of a fraternal order. Explicit rules governing the time and place of pennitted nonviolent expressions ... may in some circumstances fix the limits of pennissible conduct. Violation of such customs or rules by one who knew or as a reasonable man should have known of them would justify the application of [sanctions].

The implications for contemporary student protests are clear. College officials need to define "implicit customs or usages" for meeting governance--establishing that disruptive heckling which "substantially impairs" the meeting is not permitted. A model statement in this regard can be found in the Yale University "Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression." Please see excerpts in the POSTSCRIPT below.

POSTSCRIPT Excerpts from the Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression at Yale University (1975).

(] "There is no right to protest within a University building in such a way that any University activity is disrupted. The administration, however, may wish to permit some symbolic dissent within a building but outside the meeting room, for example, a single picket or a distributor ofhandbiIIs ... "

(] "In the room where the invited speaker is to talk, all members of the audience

3

-~

are under an obligation to comply with a general standard of civility. This means that any registration of dissent that materially interferes with the speaker's right to proceed is a punishable offense ... [A] member of the audience may protest in silent, symbolic fashion, for example, by wearing a black arm band. More active forms of protest may be tolerated such as briefly booing, clapping hands or heckling. But any disruptive activity must stop when the chair or an appropriate University official requests silence. Failure to quit in response to a reasonable request for order is a punishable offense ... "

[] "Nor are racial insults or any other 'fighting words' a valid ground for disruption or physical attack--certainly not from a voluntary audience invited but in no way compelled to be present.

DRAFT Appointment letter for ART

Dear ____ _

Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Student Affairs Activism Response Team (ART) for 2010-2011. ART is charged with coordinating campus response needs related to student activism, including demonstrations and other large public actions that require campus coordination and management.

UC Davis student activism is recognized as a legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and an important learning opportunity. The primary role of the Division of Student Affairs in responding to student activism is to support freedom of expression, promote student safety, educate the campus on free speech policy and assist in prevefitil1gdisIiijJtioh6fh6ril:lalcampus activitk:stfuougheducation ariaiinplementatlon oftllIle, place and manner regulations. Student Affairs staff members communicate with students to identify issues of concern and make campus administration aware ofthose concerns and potential activity.

The Assistant Vice Chancellor-Student Life coordinates campus response to student activism and implements the response protocol (as applicable) in coordination with the Campus Unions Center for Student Involvement (CSI) and the Activism Response Team. This effort will be led by Assistant Vice Chancellor Griselda Castro and CSI Associate Director, Anne Myler who will communicate with senior leadership, as needed, for concurrence, decision making, implementation of policy and coordination, as appropriate, with Police.

Thank you, again, for your willingness to participate in this important campus initiative. Anne Myler will be touch with you soon with dates and times for training opportunities in September.

Sincerely,

Fred Wood Vice Chancellor Student Affairs

Hi Griselda,

This looks good and I made mostly minor changes (see below). I think we can cover possible activation of EOC in training, so perhaps that doesn't need to be emphasized in this letter. I did add a reference to Police, however, so folks realize we will have that support when needed.

I'm out tomorrow but will look at the calendar and be in touch with possible training dates.

Griselda Castro Monday, November 08, 20102:58 PM Fred EWood Janet Roche Student Activism Team Name

I have been meaning to bring this up during our updates but this item has slipped off the radar list given the length of my list lately, As you will recall, you and I decided to shorten the name of the "Student Activism Response Team" to the ;'Student Activism Team" (SA T). The team talked about the name and didn't land where we landed. They wanted to have a more positive descriptor. They like the name, "Freedom of ExpressionResource Team" (FERT). The StudentActivismTeamis quick (thr~e words)J!lld includes the word, "Student" in it, which is an important distinction from Labor Relations activity. It works well for me but I want to be sensitive to the team's focus on "positive" language and contributions. We could consider,' "Student Freedom of Expression Team" (SFERT) but it rather long. What are your thoughts on this? I told the group, I would consult with you and get back to them. Thanks, Fred.

I was under the impression the phone numbers we have on file are permanent - I did not check to see if Lt. Carmichael's number was different. Also, I did not include anybody "outside" the SAT in my email- nobody from Police Services, or outside of Student Affairs, really. Should I have? I figured they would contact Griselda or Anne if they needed anything from Student Affairs ... -Andrew

1. No to the 8% increase

2. Fully fund the WRRC's Joy Fergoda Library -Due to lack of funding, the library will be shut down by the end ofthe school year

3. T.A. contracts must be extended permanently reflecting T.A.'s demands [Update: T.A.'s and their union UA W have settled an agreement with the university]

-T.A.'s are in the process of renewing their contract. The T.A.s are demanding a fair pay and better benefits.

4. All outside corporations at UC Davis must fund full ride scholarships for AB540 students in order to operate on campus.

-UC Davis allows for big corporations to come onto campus and make billions of dollars off of students. AB 540 students are hurt the most during these tuition fee increases because they must fully fund their education without financial aid and without being able to "legally" work. This demand requires for these on-campus corporations to have to fund AB 540 scholarships as a requirement to be on-campus.

5. Financial Aid Office (Front Desk) must be open from 9-5pm, Monday- Friday, for student support services. In addition, the phone call cap must be eliminated.

-Currently the Financial Aid Office is open from 10-2pm M-F and could only answer 200 calls per day. The Financial Aid Office must service the students during normal university hours to ensure that finances are not an obstacle to students' education.

6. Have University and City of Davis officials review leasing contract policies that conflict with financial aid distribution.

-Students are expected to pay rent on September 15t regardless of their financial situation. We are asking for administration to work with the City of Davis to create a housing contract policy that will allow students to not have to pay rent until financial aid has been distributed.

7. Have UC Davis officials pressure the UC Regents to appoint a peer elected student representative per campus to be a voting member ofthe UC Regents. -Currently there is only one UC student representative for the entire UC system while the majority of the other 18 Regent members are CEOs of major corporations which are one of the reasoning for the privatization of the UC system. We need more student representation in a system of education where the interests of the students are met and not the interest of the people running the UC system.

I was very pleased to receive the following message from Andrew who has generously offered to assist in coordinating the activism team. As you know, I had just earlier invited Lisa and Chuck to serve in this role if interested and available. I would be very pleased to work with Andrew as well. Since Griselda is hoping to have experienced people providing oversight on the ground, I'm hoping you can either suggest or confer with your staff on who might be most appropriate in terms of both experience and availability. It would be ideal to have two people in addition to me sharing this role.

It was very encouraging to meet with your folks yesterday and I'm so grateful for Student Housing staff's willingness to serve on the team.

I'm sorry to have missed the training. Let me know ifthere was the other session you were planning or if I should coordinate a special meeting with you.

I appreciate you including me on these e-mails and the opportunities for the staff to get more involved. I would prefer to only volunteer one staff member from our unit and I am currently working with the three you've been in contact with to determine which one that might be. We are already spread a little thin in various areas over here but I do see this as a good opportunity for them. Perhaps there are other campus units or specific people that can assist as well?

REVISED DRAFT 8118110 Student Activism Response Protocol

Division of Student Affairs

UC Davis student activism is recognized as a legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and an important learning opportunity (see Attachment A). The primary role of the Division of Student Affairs in responding to student activism is to support freedom of expression, promote student safety, educate the campus on free speech policy and assist in preventing disruption of normal campus activities through education and implementation of time, place and manner regulations. Student Affairs staff members communicate with students to identify issues of concern and make campus administration aware of those concerns and potential activity.

Hi Griselda,

Attached are the following for your review:

1. Facilitator agenda for Monday's Student Housing Orientation 2. Handout agenda for team participants 3. Revised Activism Response Protocol (a few more changes in red)

If you can send me any changes by Friday afternoon orfirst thing Monday, I can review and get final docs to Stacy for copying. She will attach the modified team contact list without cell numbers and I will bring the Freedom of Expression brochures. Call me if you have questions.

Somehow I think we should keep the name, "Student Activism Protocol," even though we are changing the name of the support team. It seems less confusing. What do you think?

Let me know if we need anything else for Monday. I invited Don Dudley to come both Monday and in September, but it doesn't look as if he will be able to come.

Thanks and hope you get a few more hours offurlough! Anne
