Campus Posting Policy
It is important for student groups to have adequate opportunities to
publicize their events. It is also important to maintain an attractive
campus free of unnecessary litter. The following guidelines are designed to
achieve those objectives, while avoiding limitations to freedom of speech.
Student organizations may post information and notices concerning their
organizations and its activities in areas provided by the University, including
kiosks, bulletin boards, designated areas in residence halls, and the Case
network. Guidelines for posting by student groups include the following:
- Only one notice per event may be posted per kiosk or board surface.
- Posted materials should not cover or obstruct other notices.
- Posted materials should be of a reasonable size relative to the size of
the posting area.
- Posting is permitted within the residential facilities per the Housing,
Residence Life & Greek Life posting policy. The area office staff will date
stamp fliers and/or posters during business hours.
- Posting is permitted on the public bulletin boards located in the Wade and
Fribley Area commons.
- Posting is prohibited on all academic and administrative buildings and
residential facilities (including windows, doors, columns, etc.), artwork, the
elephant steps, trees, furniture and seating, sidewalks, streets, and signs.
- Chalk may be used to post notices on sidewalks, but it is prohibited on
buildings. Acrylics, ink, or paint may not be used on any permanent surface.
- Posting inside of campus buildings must observe all posting guidelines
specific to that building or department.
University personnel will remove notices from all student postings areas
every Monday. These areas will also be checked regularly to remove dated
notices, non-University related postings, and violations.
Violations of this policy will be referred to the University judicial system
in the Office of Student Affairs. Groups or individuals responsible for
violations will be assessed the actual cost of clean up and any necessary
repairs. The minimum charge will be $50 with additional action possible in more
serious cases.
There are additional policies for posting in
residential areas.
