On 10/18/24, under the leadership of Jonathan Koppell the MSU Administration updated their "Expressive Activity" policy to restrict Free Speech and "Noiseless Activity" on campus for both students and employees at Montclair.
This policy was a blatant anti-Free Speech anti-American crackdown on free speech, bringing humiliation and shame to Montclair. Multiple news outlets such as Montclair Local News and NorthJersey.com covered the embarrassing overreach from Koppell's administration.
Under this policy, silent or symbolic activity must be registered with the Montclair Administration 5 days before it could occur. Silent or Symbolic activity is noiseless activity explicitly including silent protests, displaying signs, wearing 'symbolic clothing', gesturing, standing, sitting, walking, or other noiseless activity.
Seems a bit all encompassing no?
Under this policy, planned, advertised, and/or organized expression must be approved by the MSU Administration 5 days before it could occur on campus.
Of course, any silent or non-silent expression could be denied by the Administration.
