10.8 Kiosks and Bulletin Board Posting
DESCRIPTION
The university provides both open and enclosed bulletin boards in public areas of selected academic buildings on main campus. The purpose of enclosed bulletin boards is to provide university organizations the opportunity to post information related to university functions and events in controlled posting locations.
The Student Center Service Center (room 211, Student Center) staff is responsible for distribution and removal of publicity materials from the enclosed bulletin boards. Materials received are posted on the next scheduled posting day, according to space availability. Materials are not held for future postings. Posting days are scheduled approximately twice a week during the school year, or once a week during summer session and semester recess. Publicity materials are posted for a maximum period of two weeks. Additional posting time must be requested from the Service Center, and is granted according to space availability. Each event is allotted only one 8 1/2 x 11 inch flyer per showcase at a time. Exceptions are made if space is available.
It is illegal to advertise events such as raffles, contests, casino nights, drawings, etc., without the proper state license.
