Request An Observer

Students, faculty and staff can request to have an Open Expression Observer at their event or program, if there are concerns related to the Respect for Open Expression Policy.

An Open Expression Observer’s role is to:

• Protect the rights of the community members to express their opinions in non-disruptive ways
• Serve as resources to community members regarding the policy and policy violations
• Act as liaisons between community members and Emory Police and/or university administrators
• Protect the right of community members to pursue their day-to-day activities
• Provide information on how to avoid violating the Policy.

Please note that Open Expression Observers are not a replacement for an event safety or event management plans.
