Purpose of Policy
Rhodes College provides an exceptional atmosphere and aesthetic that is consistent with our values and mission. We recognize that the posting of materials can be an important way to share information with the campus community. This policy governs the posting of posters, flyers and banners on the campus.
This policy is guided by the following principles:
- We encourage all our community to look for more e ective and sustainable ways to reduce our consumption of paper and invest in low impact communication strategies like social media and other electronic postings.
- This policy shall in no way infringe upon any community members’ freedom as expressed in the Rhodes College Handbook or general freedom of speech.
- However, when posting is deemed necessary, the purpose of this policy is to ensure that all members of Rhodes College have an open space to display announcements, while maintaining our campus mission.
