It depends on whether it is public or private. In a private institution, the institution has the right to restrict circulation because of its status as a private institution- just like your house. If it is public, it is subject to constitutional privileges such as freedom of speech, association, press, etc. Therefore, it really depends. Thats the short of it.

But it is reasonable to have policies if you are otherwise restricting people from getting things done, e.g.
