Well that's not exactly the policy as I understand it.
The disciplinary actions will be taken against students who disrupt or attempt to stop on campus speeches or presentations. It still allows for protest and assembly as I read the story - it just means you can't protest and assemble to shut down an event or prevent a speaker from talking. Want to protest in the quad and have your viewpoint heard? No problem and you won't be expelled. Want to protest in front of or in the lecture hall so people can't enter or hear they speaker? You're expelled. Seems simple enough and reasonable to me.
Basically, they're trying to prevent the stupid shit that has been happening at college campuses across the country and allow for the free exchange of ideas. What a novel concept!
