LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico State University Board of Regents has approved a new campus "freedom of expression" policy after complaints from students.

The recently approved polices expand public forums to include some indoor areas and identifies content-neutral times.

A task force met regularly throughout the 2014 fall semester and hosted an open forum on Oct. 16 to gather feedback from the public.

Task force co-chair Hiram Davis says the revised policy statement ensures that 'freedom of expression' is clearly understood, respected, and supported across the NMSU campuses.

The new policy goes into effect Sept. 4.
