Shoutout to the campus paper editor who told me my flyer wording would get us shut down
She flagged our group's free speech week flyer because two lines could read as a direct invite to disrupt a class, and campus police had already asked about it. We swapped in the exact policy quote from the student handbook and the room got approved in 2 days, so what wording has saved your event from a headache?

Man, this reminds me of my old chess club days in high school. We put up a flyer for an open tournament and wrote that "all students are welcome to stop by the gym during lunch." The vice principal pulled it down because she said it sounded like we were telling kids to skip class. We changed it to "the event takes place during the scheduled lunch period on school grounds" and boom, no more drama. Funny how the same idea reads totally different once you copy the official wording. Guess the lesson is to just steal the handbook's words and save yourself the fight.
