A schedule of speakers will be posted on or before October 8, 2016 at dev-debate-washu.pantheonsite.io/public-expression and at the Public Expression Zone. To protect the safety and security of all participants, speaking times and other provisions may be altered by the university, law enforcement or security personnel. The university reserves the right to deny access to groups or individuals who do not comply with the restrictions of the Public Expression Zone or the safety and security requests of law enforcement officials located on the site.
