All posted advertising, promotional, informational materials, or displays should clearly state or include the official name of the recognized student organization, agency, department, or individual sponsoring the event/program or responsible for the message. Publicity materials or displays that do not reflect this information will be removed. DePauw faculty, staff, or students  may post materials promoting a cause and/or informational materials without identifying information on the designated bulletin board within the Student Union for up to five business days.

All publicity materials designed for indoor display are restricted to designated permanent bulletin boards or poster kiosks unless there is prior approval from a sponsoring department within the building. Sponsors shall limit postings to one (1) copy of each flyer per bulletin board. Multiple postings will be removed.

Determinations of what violates these guidelines will be made on a content- and viewpoint-neutral basis.
