§ 72673 Student Organization Exemptions

Key Takeaways

  • •Most student clubs, like fraternities or alumni groups, don’t have to follow the rules in this law unless they’re officially part of the school’s auxiliary organizations.
  • •The school’s governing board can still make rules for any club that has an official connection to the school or uses the school’s name or buildings.
  • •This law doesn’t change the school’s power to control these groups.

Example

A college fraternity wants to host a party on campus.

If the fraternity isn’t an official auxiliary group, they might not have to follow all the school’s strict rules for events. But if they use the school’s name or facilities, the school can still set rules for their party.
