To limit the spread of COVID-19 and promote the health and safety of all community members, students involved in expressive activity in 2020–21 must follow the Yale Community Compact, and any guidance and protocols, including limits to the number of participants, social distancing, face covering, and other behavioral requirements. These guidelines summarize university policies, provide relevant information to students, and are intended to promote the exercise of free expression and the safety and security of all members of the university community.
As an academic institution dedicated to free inquiry and the search for truth, the university is committed to free expression. Yale has a deep history of fostering expressive activity.
