External Events Statement

Statement to students on the representation of the College at events which they may hold externally.

Students representing the College at events held externally are reminded that
College Rule D(2) provides that no Member of the College shall intentionally or
recklessly impede freedom of speech or lawful assembly within the precincts of the College, or when representing the College at an external event.

Students representing the College at events held externally should note that other legal requirements may affect the conduct of meetings, etc. A speaker, for example, who incites an audience to violence or to a breach of the peace or to racial hatred transgresses the bounds of lawful speech. Equally, assemblies of people, even if directed to lawful purposes, cease to be lawful if they cause serious public disorder or breaches of the peace.

When representing the College externally, Students should conduct themselves in a fit and proper manner at all times, and must not to act in any way that brings the College into disrepute. Such action will entail a severe fine or other penalty at the discretion of the Tutors and/or the Dean. Disciplinary procedures are given in Appendix E of the College Rules.
