Solicitation

 

It is the policy of the College to prohibit solicitation and distribution on its premises or through campus mail by non-employees and to permit solicitation and distribution by employees only as outlined below:

  1. The College limits solicitation and distribution on its premises because, when left unrestricted, such activities can interfere with the normal operations of the College, can be detrimental to efficiency, can be annoying, and can pose a threat to security.
  2. The Director of Public Relations and the Director of Human Resources are responsible for administering this policy and for enforcing its provisions.
  3. Persons who are not employed by the College are prohibited from soliciting funds or signatures; conducting membership drives; posting or distributing literature or gifts; offering to sell or to purchase merchandise or services (except by representatives of suppliers properly identified to the Security Officer); or engaging in any other solicitation, distribution, or similar activity on College premises.
  4. The College may authorize a limited number of fund drives by employees on behalf of charitable organizations or for employee gifts.
  5. After receiving approval, the College will permit employees to engage in solicitation or distribution of literature for any group or organization, including charitable organizations, with the following guidelines:

·        A fundraiser for a College affiliated group or College sponsored charitable event.

·        Solicitation and distribution of literature with appropriate approval should not interfere with working time of either the employee making the solicitation or distribution, or the targeted employee. The term "working time" does not include an employee's authorized lunch or rest periods or other time when the employee is not required to be working.

  1. The College maintains bulletin boards to communicate College information to employees and to post notices required by law. These bulletin boards are for the posting of College information and notices only, and only persons receiving appropriate approval may place notices on or take down material from bulletin boards. The unauthorized posting of notices, photographs, or other printed or written materials on bulletin boards or any other College property is prohibited.
