Commencement ceremonies have been the site of free expression and peaceful protest for decades and will likely continue to be. The University of Michigan does not attempt to prevent peaceful protests or other speech protected under the First Amendment. Many ceremonies will have a designated area for protests outside the venue. Our goal is to limit substantial disruption\, ensure safety\, and support a successful and celebratory event worthy of the achievements of our extraordinary graduates. \nCommencement for schools\, colleges\, departments\, and cultural celebrations will include: \n\nSecurity screening\nProhibition of banners\, flags and anything that obstructs sightlines\nStaffers who will respond to disruptions\, beginning with warnings and requests to respect the importance of the celebrations for our graduates and their families\n\nU-M remains committed to free speech and freedom of expression. Deans and directors will generally be patient with lawful disruptions; however\, if protests significantly impede the program\, leadership will take steps to de-escalate and address the interruption. \nGuests are encouraged to bring only necessary items. All persons and items are subject to search.\nAs you plan your visit\, we strongly encourage all guests to review the list of prohibited items for Hill Auditorium. \nPermitted Items \n\nFoam seat pads\nSmall non-pocket seat cushions without storage slots\nBinoculars — CASES are not permitted\nCell phones and pagers\nSmall cameras (those with a lens shorter than 6 inches) and radios\nBlankets and rain apparel — UMBRELLAS are not permitted\nWalking canes\n\n\nQuestions?\nIf you have any questions regarding the Taubman College Commencement activities\, please email TC-commencement@umich.edu.
