| Abstract | The purpose of this policy is to promote the University’s educational mission and the
public health, safety and welfare through the content neutral regulation of the time, place
and manner of distribution of written material on the University campus so as to:
1. Reduce litter and landfill waste streams and to cultivate a campus atmosphere that
supports a sustainable environment by means of reducing the amount of paper used for
posting, eliminating use of products that have a negative impact on the environment, and
encouraging recycling of materials;
2. Provide for pedestrian and vehicular safety and convenience by restricting
unreasonable interference with the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic (including
ingress into or egress from any campus building or thoroughfare):
3. Reduce visual clutter and promote the aesthetic quality of the University campus such
that it be aesthetically pleasing and welcoming for students, faculty, staff, alumni,
community members, and visitors. The campus should be free from excessive and
abusive postings, chalking, and litter which defaces and depreciates the value of the
grounds and facilities of the campus;
4. Provide for public and property safety during severe weather conditions;
5. Provide reasonable access for the use and maintenance of poles, posts, traffic signs or
signals, hydrants and access used for public transportation purposes;
6. Maintain and preserve freedom of the press;
7. Protect the campus from commercial and promotional materials and activities
sponsored by non-UWF entities and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
students and staff; and
8. Provide for the safe, orderly and cooperative staffed and unstaffed distribution of
written material on the University campus. |
