Although no signs have been posted recently, we do want to remind you that <strong>unaffiliated third parties have no right to post signs in University academic buildings or elsewhere<\/strong> on our campuses. Signs, posters and banners may only be posted in accordance with <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/miamipolicies\/?p=3511\">University policy and divisional rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Physical Facilities staff will work diligently to promptly remove any signs posted in violation of University policy as part of regular building maintenance. If you find a sign posted in violation of University policy, <strong>please remove it and send it to me<\/strong> along with the date and a notation of the location where it was posted. My office will be working with the Miami University Police Department to continue to try to identify the person or persons responsible for posting these signs and to coordinate any University response. If you have ANY concerns about removing the fliers\/signs, please contact my office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">As far as I am aware no buildings permit the open unregulated positing of fliers and signs. However, if your division does have a designated \u201copen forum\u201d space for faculty, staff, students\/or student organizations to post signs (e.g., notices, fliers), you may not remove them based on the content or message conveyed. Divisions may, have polices that limit the amount of time that signs, posters and banners may be displayed (e.g., 2 days, one week). If your division does permit open posting, we encourage the division to review and uniformly enforce the divisional rules governing the length of time a sign, poster or banner may be displayed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Divisions are, of course, not required to designate any area for the open posting of signs, posters and banners. As far as I am aware most divisions limit use of space to matters directly related to the educational mission of the University (e.g., departmental events, tutoring, sponsored lectures and student activities) and require permission from the dean\u2019s or chair\u2019s office to post a sign, poster or banners on divisionally and departmentally controlled spaces (e.g., bulletin boards).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">If you have questions or need assistance in following University policy, please contact the Office of General Counsel at 529-6734.
