308. Solicitation and Distribution
Statement
In order to maintain and promote efficient operations, and security, the University has established rules applicable to all employees which govern solicitation, distribution of written material and entry into premises and work areas.
No employee shall solicit or promote support for any cause or organization (e.g., fundraisers) during his or her working time and/or during the working time of the employee or employees at whom such activity is directed without authorization from the appropriate Vice President. Meals and breaks do not constitute working time.
No employee shall distribute or circulate any printed or written non-University, non-work material in work areas at any time during his or her working time and/or during the working time of the employee or employees at whom such activity is directed.
Under no circumstances will non-University employees be permitted to solicit or distribute written materials for any purpose on the University’s premises without prior authorization.
Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the employee initially to distinguish appropriate times and means for solicitation and distribution consistent with this policy, and subject to University review. Outside vendors must obtain prior approval for solicitation and distribution from the appropriate Vice President. All individuals must comply with the terms of this policy.
