When bringing in guest speakers, student organizations at Boston College must adhere to certain rules laid out by the Office of the Dean for Student Development. The policy was updated last summer and now reads:
“Since the search for truth demands freedom of inquiry, the free exchange of ideas is a principal value of the University. Such freedom of inquiry is, however, not absolute and must be balanced by the University’s obligation to adhere to the principals and values inherent in Boston College’s identity as a Catholic and Jesuit institution. . . . The University administration reserves the right to review presentations funded by student activity monies. Such a review could result in necessary adjustments to require that balanced views be presented, postponement of the program for further discussion and review, or, in rare instances, cancellation of the program.”
-Section 4. Programming Policies. 2006-2007 Student Guide, Boston College.
