RELATIONS WITH SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

Any requests from civic institutions or special interest groups which involve such activities as patriotic functions, contests, exhibits, sales of products to and by students, graduation prizes, fund raising, and free teaching materials must be carefully reviewed to insure that on balance such activities promote student interests without advancing the special interests of any particular group.

It is the policy of the Board that students, staff members and College facilities shall not be used for advertising or promoting the interests of any non-College agency or organization, public or private, without the approval of the Board or its delegated representative; and any such approval granted, for whatever cause or group, shall not be construed as an endorsement of such cause or group by the Board.

All materials or activities proposed by outside sources for student or staff use or participation shall be evaluated on the basis of educational value in the total College program; benefit to students; advancement of the name, product or special interest of the proposing group; factual accuracy and good taste.

All solicitation of funds from students or faculty for purposes other than authorized College activities will be prohibited, except with the expressed approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Board recognizes the social and scholastic values that may be derived by students participating in various activities sponsored by community organizations, but specifies there shall not be unreasonable demands on the time and energies of students and staff.
