In addition, digital media may be added to the University events calendar to promote University sponsored and recognized student organization events. Community members may access the calendar by visiting events.suffolk.edu. Community members may submit events through this page for inclusion in the calendar. These events will be reviewed for accuracy and compliance with this and other relevant policies prior to being published.

The University’s Office of Marketing and Communications may bypass the above guidelines regarding length of posting for the purposes of promoting large campus-wide events or campaigns.

Banners and Flags

Banners and flags, as defined above, associated with events may only be displayed during an approved event held by a sponsoring organization within the properly reserved area in which the event is being held. Displays must comport with any Department of Facilities protocols and may not be hung or otherwise displayed in a manner that vio lates safety codes, harms the University’s infrastructure or impedes normal operations. Flags and banners, whether associated with an event or not, may be displayed in other areas of campus only by the following departments: Marketing and Communication, Office of the Provost, Student Affairs, Enrollment, Administration, Dean of Law School, Dean of SBS, Dean of CAS and Office of the President. This does not apply to decorations in individual workspaces. Organizations sponsoring events may also use foam mounted posters on easels in the first floor lobbies of Sargent, Stahl, Sawyer, Samia and One Beacon ONLY on the day of the event to increase awareness and publicity of the program taking place.

Easels may not be placed at any time on the 2nd floor lobby of the Stahl Building. Easels must be provided by the person or organization responsible for the posting.

Easels may not block access to elevators, door/entrance ways, and egress or emergency exits. ADA compliance must also be taken into consideration. The University reserves the right to relocate or remove easels which limit accessibility or otherwise do not comply with these guidelines. The University is not responsible for easels left in a lobby.

Appeals

Objections to the content of posters, flyers, digital media or foam core mounted posters may be submitted in writing to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Sponsoring organizations may submit an objection if their poster or flyer is not approved. Once an objection has been received, the poster, flyer, digital media or foam core mounted poster will be removed from posting locations and will not be approved for posting until such time as a decision will be made regarding the objection. A committee of 4 people (a student appointed by SGA, GSA or the SBA, a representative from each – Provost’s Office, Office of Administration and Student Affairs) – will be convened within two business days by the Vice President for Student Affairs who will vote only in the case of a tie. The decision of the committee will be final.
