I wonder what side of this issue Fox would be on if it was a Muslim student group handing out Korans?
Thats a no brainer man, they would definitely be on the of side protecting their constitutional, First amendment, god given rights.

Quote : | " Free Speech — Alive and Well at NC State – April 28, 2016
One of the great benefits of a university campus is the free and open exchange of ideas. At NC State, we strive to foster free speech in an environment where members of our community can learn from one another and where all are treated with dignity and respect.
Earlier this week, the Alliance Defending Freedom organization based in Arizona filed a lawsuit against NC State over our student speech and distribution of materials policy. The Alliance group claims the policy is unconstitutional and unfairly enforced. Unfortunately, there is some misinformation being spread about the facts of this case.
To be clear, this lawsuit is without merit; the implication that an organization has been treated differently on our campus because they are a religious group is false. In fact, over the past year alone the university issued more than 20 permits to the student group in question, and no group has ever been denied a permit based on religion.
NC State University issues hundreds of permits each and every year to religious, political, healthcare, public and special interest oriented groups. Over the past 3 years, NC State University issued 2280 permits to student and non-university groups to either speak or distribute information on campus. Of those issued, close to 500 were issued to faith-based groups or individuals. None of these individuals or groups have ever been denied the right to speak or distribute materials based upon their message content or beliefs.
The university – along with all universities – is allowed to manage requests by speakers or those wanting to distribute materials based on permissible time, place and manner concerns. We do this to manage the volume of requests, pedestrian traffic concerns, prevent overlapping time and location bookings, and ensure the university can carry out its primary mission of teaching our students. NC State reviews requests solely for time, place and manner considerations without regard to messaging or beliefs.
Our University has a long history of engaging, thought-provoking discussions, public debate and the protection of varying viewpoints. NC State is committed to ensuring this proud history continues, and that one of our institution’s core values — freedom of thought and expression – will always remain alive and well at this great university.
Sincerely,
Randy Woodson Chancellor NC State " |

Just because I'm unsure of how strictly this is actually enforced...
If you're sitting in the atrium having a conversation over a chicken sandwich and start talking to the other person about Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc and that person gets butthurt, can they turn you in for violating this rule/not having a permit? Or does this only apply to organized groups and distribution of material? 4/29/2016 3:39:40 PM

You get a permit if you'll be taking up space in the Brickyard or some other major space on campus to talk to people about whatever or distributing something. The Student Wolfpack Club always has to get a permit to be on the Brickyard for t-shirt pick up and signing people up. 4/29/2016 6:03:36 PM

I'm a huge free speech advocate and while I loathe the whole permitting thing due to the potential for a chilling effect, especially for student groups, the University doesn't seem to actually be doing anything inconsistent with legal precedent or policy. As long as they aren't denying permits or selectively enforcing this I can't imagine the lawsuit will be successful.
I'm also guessing they contacted the group based on student complaints as opposed to just deciding out of the blue to "persecute" them.
It's a public university, it's open to the public as far as I know, but if you want to hold rallies or take up significant space you're going to need a permit just about anywhere and everywhere. 4/29/2016 6:49:55 PM

Yep. The only time anyone really asks if you have a permit is if you're taking up a big space, causing a large crowd, or being annoying/hostile to people.
It's basically know that if you apply for a permit, you'll get one as long as the location isn't overburdened already when you request the permit. You just have to apply for the permit. 4/29/2016 8:08:51 PM
