Fostering Open and Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act Compliance- Act 184 of 2019 (Ark. Code Ann. § 6-60-1001 et seq.)

UAMS supports free speech and assembly rights for its campus community, which includes UAMS faculty, staff, and students, and invited guests.

UAMS does not restrict planned outdoor speech and assembly activities to certain areas or “free speech zones.” Instead, planned and approved activities are welcome outdoors except for in areas that disrupt normal campus operations (e.g., roadways) and the entrances to patient care areas, as HIPAA and other privacy laws require UAMS to respect and protect patient identities and information.
