The 11th Circuit federal appeals court denied a request from an evangelical preacher for an injunction allowing him to preach on a college campus without a permit. The preacher routinely speaks for four to six hours in busy areas on college campuses and was arrested for trespassing at Southern University in Georgia.
The appeals court decision said the campus was a”limited public forum”: “There is no record evidence suggesting (nor has Bloedorn [the preacher] even alleged) that the ban on outside, non-sponsored speakers in these areas is viewpoint-based; it applies equally to all outside, nonsponsored speakers. Nor is there any record evidence even remotely suggesting that the university has ever made any exception to this policy. Moreover, the policy is a reasonable one.” -db
