AB64,594 6Section 594 . 36.02 of the statutes is created to read:
AB64,372,13 736.02 Freedom of expression. (1) The board and each institution and
8college campus shall be committed to free and open inquiry in all matters and shall
9guarantee all members of the system's community the broadest possible latitude to
10speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn. Except to the extent limitations on that
11freedom are necessary to the functioning of the system, the board and each
12institution and college campus shall fully respect and support the freedom of all
13members of the system's community to discuss any problem that presents itself.
AB64,372,21 14(2) In the face of conflicting ideas, it is not the proper role of the board or any
15institution or college campus to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions
16they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. Although the board and
17each institution and college campus shall greatly value civility, and although all
18members of the system's community share in the responsibility for maintaining a
19climate of mutual respect, concerns about civility and mutual respect can never be
20used as a justification for closing off discussion of ideas, however offensive or
21disagreeable those ideas may be to some members of the system's community.
AB64,373,16 22(3) Although members of the system's community shall have freedom to debate
23and discuss the merits of competing ideas, the board and each institution and college
24campus may restrict expression that violates the law, that falsely defames a specific
25individual, that constitutes a genuine threat or harassment, that unjustifiably

1invades substantial privacy or confidentiality interests, or that is otherwise directly
2incompatible with the functioning of the system. In addition, the board and each
3institution and college campus may reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner
4of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt the ordinary activities of the system.
5However, these exceptions to the general principle of freedom of expression shall be
6construed narrowly and are not intended to be used in a manner that is inconsistent
7with the system's commitment to a completely free and open discussion of ideas. The
8system's fundamental commitment is to the principle that debate or deliberation
9may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even by
10most members of the system's community to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or
11wrongheaded. It is for the individual members of the system's community, not for the
12board or any institution or college campus, to make those judgments for themselves,
13and to act on those judgments not by seeking to suppress speech, but by openly and
14vigorously contesting the ideas that they oppose. Fostering the ability of members
15of the system's community to engage in such debate and deliberation in an effective
16and responsible manner is an essential part of the system's educational mission.
AB64,374,2 17(4) As a corollary to the system's commitment to protect and promote free
18expression, members of the system's community must also act in conformity with the
19principle of free expression. Although members of the system's community are free
20to criticize and contest the views expressed on the campuses of the system, and to
21criticize and contest speakers who are invited to express their views on these
22campuses, they may not obstruct or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others
23to express views they reject or even loathe. To this end, the board and each institution
24and college campus has a responsibility not only to promote a lively and fearless

1freedom of debate and deliberation, but also to protect that freedom when others
2attempt to restrict it.
AB64,595 3Section 595. 36.09 (3) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

1the building commission under s. 13.48 (12). Subject to prior action under s. 13.48
