Policy

Materials may be posted on kiosks around campus without prior approval. Materials may be posted on bulletin boards or message boards inside buildings subject to the requirements of the department or unit that maintains the board. No materials may be posted or placed in or on any other objects or surfaces, including vehicles, buildings, classrooms, parking structures, trees, plants, planters, trash receptacles, benches, signage, light poles, or sidewalks. Students, student groups, or organizations that violate this policy may be subject to sanctions under the Student Code of Conduct. ASU Police Department also may cite individuals who violate this policy for violations of Arizona law.

Decisions regarding the permissibility of posting or distribution will not be made on the basis of content, except that materials that contain illegal content or that violate university or Board of Regents’ policies are not permitted. Examples of impermissible content include materials that are obscene, that convey an imminent threat of physical harm to specific individuals, or that disclose confidential information without appropriate authorization.
