ASU statement on Congresswoman Tlaib’s cancelled visit

Organizers of events using ASU facilities must be properly registered with ASU and must meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance. In addition, the events must be produced in a way which minimizes disruption to academic and other activities on campus.  The event featuring Congresswoman Tlaib was planned and produced by groups not affiliated with ASU and was organized outside of ASU policies and procedures. Accordingly, that event will not take place today on the ASU Tempe campus.

ASU administration was unaware of this event until two days ago because organizers did not follow procedures for using university facilities for such a public gathering. There are a number of requirements. Organizers seeking to sponsor and produce an event at Arizona State University, are advised to contact the Office of the General Counsel to help comply with university policies for events that include the general public.
