Posting Guidelines for Printed Material

In alignment with Washington University’s Danforth Campus Facilities Access and Advertising Policy, the school has designated community posting areas. These areas are clearly marked with signage noting “Community Posting Location.” Materials posted in these locations will adhere to the following guidelines:

• All posted materials will clearly state:
  • the registered student organization, WashU department, or individual WashU student or employee who is posting the material; contact information for the sponsoring organization or individual in the form of a website, social media handle, or phone number;
  • the title and date of any events that are being promoted.
• Include no content that is deemed defamatory, pornographic, discriminatory or otherwise in violation of university policies, including the University Discrimination and Harassment Policy and the University Student Conduct Code.
• Postings may not include references to alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs.
• Content will only be posted with blue painters’ tape or push pins (on pin up walls). For push pins or blue tape, please see the Bixby, Givens, and/or Weil Administrative offices.
• Material will be 11” x 17” or smaller; please see the Dean’s Office in Weil 105 to review/approve exceptions.
• Only one copy of any flyer/sign will be posted in a single posting location.
• The Sam Fox School will remove and recycle out-of-date and duplicate postings approximately once a week, and the School will clear community posting locations each month, typically on the last Friday of the month.
• Individuals or groups seeking guidance on whether or not specific posters, flyers, or other printed notices meet University and School guidelines may contact the Dean’s Suite Coordinator in Weil 105.
• All students, faculty and staff are expected to respect the materials posted by other organizations and individuals. Removing, posting or writing over, deleting, or erasing other active postings is disrespectful.

The Sam Fox School has additional posting areas that are intended solely for Sam Fox School administrative and academic use. These areas will be clearly identified and reserved for Sam Fox School administrative and academic content.

The posting guidelines above do not apply to the display or exhibition of creative work. Studio instructors will provide guidance on where and how you may exhibit creative work within studios and classroom areas. Public spaces outside of studios and classrooms will need approval from the Director of Facilities and the Dean’s office to ensure protocols are followed.

Any posted materials not adhering to school and university policy guidelines will be removed. Postings that violate the University Discrimination and Harassment Policy or the Student Code of Conduct may subject the distributor and/or organization to disciplinary action. Please note that chalking is not allowed on Sam Fox School buildings, walls, trees, covered sidewalks, or any other surface.

Posters, flyers, and other printed notices are permitted only on designated posting locations. Permitted posting locations are found in each Sam Fox School building; community posting locations will be clearly marked. Prohibited locations for postings include, but are not limited to: windows, doors and doorways, critique spaces, classrooms and studios, restroom interior spaces, trees, lampposts, and benches.
