The University of Pennsylvania's administration said that the new rules will be reviewed by a faculty-led task force in the 2024-25 academic year.

Scores of encampments protesting Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip have sprung up at universities across the country this spring, leading to more than 3,000 arrests since mid-April and heightened tensions between students and universities. The rules also forbid protests that prevent speakers on campus from expressing their views or “other members of the community from hearing or seeing the speaker.” And they bar students from projecting slogans onto buildings or writing slogans on them in semi-permanent or permanent chalk or marker.

The administration said that the rules “aim to enable free expression while allowing Penn to deliver its core missions of teaching, research, service and patient care without disruption.” The university said that students who violated the rules would face disciplinary action but did not go into details.
