2.12 Subject: ADVERTISING, SALES, AND SOLICITATIONS ON CAMPUS
Adopted: September 12, 1996

Applicability

This policy applies to advertising and solicitation on campus, to indoor and outdoor sales on campus, and to vending. See also the policy on Outdoor Sales on Campus. This policy applies to north campus, main campus and south campus.

Policy

Sales, solicitation and advertising are a natural part of modern life, and an integral part of many university activities. Moreover, UNM, with its urban campus, is an attractive location for many sales, solicitation and advertising activities, both UNM-affiliated and independent. Street-side sales of specialty and handcrafted items are an integral aspect of southwest culture and can contribute to the social and cultural environment of the campus.

Unregulated advertising, solicitation and sales can create chaos, disturb the University's educational environment, detract from University activities, and create unwarranted risks for consumers. Moreover, different parts of campus have different needs and concerns in connection with advertising, solicitation, and sales. In addition, unregulated vending mars the beauty and tranquility of the campus and contributes to unnecessary congestion, noise and trash.

Implementation

The President is authorized to adopt policies regulating advertising, sales and solicitations, including machine vending.

The President shall adopt administrative policies and procedures to allow for outdoor vending, but in a controlled manner that protects and preserves the academic environment of the University from unnecessary disturbance; protects and preserves the beauty and tranquility of the University environment; promotes the health and safety of the University community; prevents commercial exploitation of students; and protects and preserves the University's proprietary interests in its property.
