Chancellor, it was clear from your testimony that you did not in fact set in place time, place, and manner restrictions.
2:36:43
So my question is, will you commit today to setting time, place, and manner restrictions as advised in the Littmann report?
Felix Matos Rodriguez
2:36:52
So they they exist on the campuses.
2:36:54
So I have, a different, perspective from what you're saying in your answer.
2:36:59
The campuses have sent guidance to the community about how those things play out in in every campus.
Inna Vernikov
2:37:05
My colleague asked you I'm sorry, chancellor, for interrupting.
2:37:08
My colleague asked you for specifics and you were not able to answer.
Felix Matos Rodriguez
2:37:11
Because they vary from campus to campus.
2:37:13
Doesn't mean that that that that that they don't exist.
Inna Vernikov
2:37:15
So it has not been centralized?
2:37:17
Is that what you're saying?
Felix Matos Rodriguez
2:37:18
Because it it's different from campus to campus.
2:37:20
Yes.
Inna Vernikov
2:37:21
Can you provide in writing what those time, place, and manner restrictions are?
Felix Matos Rodriguez
2:37:26
I I can send the communications to the campuses.
2:37:28
Absolutely.
Inna Vernikov
2:37:29
Okay.
