Registered student organizations may use University facilities to conduct organizational meetings or to host, sponsor or publicize an event on behalf of a candidate. The student organization must pay the usual fee, if any, for the use of University facilities for the event. Other University resources may not be used in connection with the event, as more fully discussed above. Fundraising may not occur at or in connection with the event.

If the candidate or a representative of the candidate will appear, the appearance should constitute a speech, a question and answer session, or other similar communication appropriate for an academic setting. Any such event must be open to all members of the University community regardless of their political affiliation, may not be held in connection with any campaign-related events, and is not to be conducted as a campaign rally.

At the beginning of the event and in any written advertisements for the event, the student organization must communicate that the event is sponsored by the student organization, that the speakers are presenting in their personal capacities and not on behalf of the University, and that the University does not endorse or oppose any candidate.

Faculty or other administrative advisors to student organizations must take care to avoid the appearance of institutional endorsement and to observe the principles described in these FAQs.
