Registered Student Organizations and current students may install temporary displays, art pieces, symbolic structures, or other physical objects (Installations) on University property that provide information regarding student activities or academic matters or raise awareness of an issue pertinent to the business of the University. Installations are different from notices in that they cannot be placed on bulletin boards, kiosks, Rand Hall banner poles, A-frames, sidewalks as stickers, or on the trunk of a tree. Installations require reservations in accordance with the Reserving Space policy, including review by and approval from the Facilities Review Committee, and back-to-back or ongoing reservations for the same Installation are not permitted. Installations must be free-standing and may not use cameras, video, amplified sound equipment, or other similar devices. Installations that violate University policy or infringe on the rights of other members of the University community to access the University’s spaces or educational programs and activities will not be approved.
Installations may be displayed from 8am – 7pm or sundown, whichever occurs first, for a period of no more than three consecutive days regardless of whether the type of installation is switched out each day. Time limitations ensure access to University space for other groups wishing to make reservations, reduce damage to University grounds, allow access for watering and cutting of grass, and provide opportunity for staffing when an installation may result in disruption or safety concerns The individuals or Registered Student Organizations responsible for the Installation should be available to monitor the Installation to avoid damage from weather, negligence, or vandalism. Intentional damage or vandalism to or removal of an authorized Installation can be referred for corrective action if the individuals or organizations responsible are identified.
Failure to timely remove an Installation will result in corrective action, including the Installation being removed by the University and stored (for Installations properly reserved) or disposed (for Installations not properly reserved). Additionally, the University may assess fines for failing to timely remove an Installation in addition to any other restitution necessary due to damage to University property.
