The policy does not apply to posting and hanging in the Pioneer Student Center, Glenview Commons, Karrmann Library or the residence halls. These buildings have their own policies on posting. It also does not apply to faculty and staff offices. This policy does not govern artwork on the university grounds or on the outside of buildings. It does not apply to educational materials within classrooms or offices.
The policy goals are to reduce the clutter and litter on the walls, bulletin boards and floors of public areas within campus buildings. It intends to reduce physical damage to building walls, doors and other surfaces. It recognizes the necessity and value of disseminating information to the university community by posting items on bulletin boards.
The policy recognizes the value of a diversity in the types of artwork, pictures, and literature displayed in a university community. It recognizes a diversity of educational and aesthetic considerations in what items are placed on display. Likewise, it reflects a concern with maintaining an attractive overall appearance within campus buildings.
