Section II - Other Related Policies

1. Partisan Political Activity

Note: UNLV Student elections, which are governed by CSUN and GPSA, are exempt from this policy.

A policy of nonpartisanship and neutrality will govern the University at all times in its relationship with elected officials or persons campaigning for public office.

1. University Non-Partisan Activities
   1. UNLV will not sponsor or support political candidates, ballot initiatives or questions.
   2. UNLV campus mail and email will not be used to distribute political materials in any form. This applies to both members and nonmembers of the University community.
   3. If the titles of faculty and staff used in political correspondence might reasonably be construed as implying support, endorsement or opposition of the University with regard to any non-university activity or issue, the identification shall be accompanied by an explicit statement that the individual is speaking for themselves and not as a representative of the University or any of its offices or units. Titles may be utilized if the individual is sought for their expertise as a subject matter expert.
   4. University departments wishing to present informational events open to the public, but not in support of particular candidate(s), ballot initiative(s) or question(s) - such as lectures or debates - must provide Certificates of Insurance for general liability coverage of at least $1 million combined single limit per occurrence. They may be eligible for reduced or waived use fees.
   5. Registered Student Organizations may reserve space in accordance with applicable reservation policies. RSO's are not agents of the University. RSO activities do not reflect an endorsement by UNLV.
2. Off-Campus Political Organizations

   Public officers, candidates for public office, campaign organizations and other political organizations, regardless of their affiliation or non-affiliation with UNLV, may rent campus grounds and facilities for campaign events. They will be treated as non-University users and charged the full rental and related use fees applicable to the grounds or facilities they wish to use [see Facility Use Fees].

   Off-campus political organizations who wish to reserve space on campus should first contact the Office of Government and Community Engagement at 702-895-5397.

   1. Those who reserve space for political activities are required to include the following statement in all publicity: "This event (or publication) does not reflect an opinion or endorsement by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas."
   2. Off campus political organizations who rent UNLV grounds and facilities, regardless of their affiliation or non-affiliation with UNLV, must provide to UNLV, for each event, Certificates of Insurance which provide general liability coverage of at least $1 million combined single limit per occurrence.
   3. Off campus political organizations may film or shoot still photos on the UNLV campus subject to the Guideline for Commercial Filming, but may not express or imply an endorsement by UNLV.
   4. Those reserving space must follow the campus Posting Policy including for directional signage to the event.

Posting of Campaign Materials on Campus

Political campaign signs and handbills of candidates for public office, or for ballot initiatives or questions, are subject to the campus Posting Policy and guidelines for Solicitation of Signatures and Leafletting.

Signs placed on the campus in violation of the Posting Policy will be removed by the University, and those responsible will be charged for the cost of removal by the UNLV Facilities Management Department. Removal costs are available to the public upon request.

2. Student Recruitment Events

It is the goal of the University to promote on-campus recruitment events. Programs that bring prospective students to the campus enhance recruitment efforts. Like all activities, special events have certain costs associated with them. Recruitment events may qualify for a waiver of the facility usage fee if they are endorsed by Enrollment Management as appropriate as official recruitment events. (Exceptions for this waiver shall be for the use of all of Thomas & Mack Center, Performing Arts Center, and Student Union.) However, all fees for technical or specialist assistance will be passed on to the user group.

The following guidelines are offered for determining a recruitment event:

1. Events sponsored or co-sponsored by Enrollment Management as recruitment events.
2. Events sponsored by on-campus academic units or departments that are coordinated through Enrollment Management and include a recruitment component in the program will be considered recruitment events.
3. Athletic events are to be coordinated through the Athletic Department and generally will not qualify as recruitment events.

3. Sponsored Research Projects

Activities funded from sponsored projects that are awarded to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas from federal, state and/or private agencies are to be treated the same as any other on-campus activities. Therefore, the facilities-use charges applied to grants and contracts activities must be consistent with the charges for other University-related activities. OMB Circular A-21 "Cost Principles for Education Institutions" allows the expenditure for the facilities use charge as long as it "conforms to generally accepted cost accounting practices consistently followed by the institution."

4. Commencement Facility Reservation Policy

The intent of this policy is to ensure the availability of suitable facilities for UNLV's biennial Commencement ceremonies and receptions (in May and December).

1. During the period beginning two days before any commencement ceremony and ending at the beginning of the second day after that ceremony, Facility managers will require on-campus users who wish to reserve a room to obtain signed approval of the academic dean or vice-president responsible for the facility.
2. Campus academic or administrative units that wish to hold commencement receptions on campus may reserve a facility prior to 180 days before the ceremony, with the appropriate approval, as stated above. Prior to 180 days before commencement ceremonies, facility managers will not allow non-UNLV organizations to reserve sites at a time and/or place that might conflict with commencement activities, unless approval by the dean or vice-president most closely related to that facility is obtained by the facility manager. Within 180 days of commencement ceremonies, campus users may reserve facilities for commencement-related activities, with approval, but will face competition for facilities from off-campus users.
3. The University will reserve the Thomas and Mack Center for its commencement ceremonies and primary reception.

5. Use of Outdoor Areas

1. Outdoor reservable spaces, including but not limited to the Alumni Amphitheater, are designated as a limited public forum area where all persons may exercise, to the extent permitted by law and these policies, the activities of expression, speech and assembly. Such activities shall be consistent with the maintenance of University facilities and the free flow of persons and traffic and shall not interfere with other scheduled activities. Interference with entrances to buildings, classrooms, offices or study areas is strictly prohibited.

5. Use of outdoor areas for public assembly or events is limited to times when an adjacent building is open for public access to restrooms.
6. If there are counter protestors or multiple speech groups wishing to be heard in the same area, the groups shall remain a minimum of thirty (30) feet away from each other.

6. Outdoor Noise Policy

UNLV's primary mission is to serve as an academic institution. As a result, no outdoor events should be held which disrupt the academic schedule of the university. Amplified sound may not be audible inside adjacent buildings unless approved for an event with a reservation for outdoor space. Bullhorns, drums, and musical instruments will only be approved for specified times and locations, as part of ordinary time, place, and manner restrictions and require 25 day advance reservations for the event. The following are outdoor spaces that may be reserved for events. All of the sound guidelines, procedures and policies for the applicable space must be adhered to.

1. Outdoor space reserved through Student Union and Event Services or the Student Recreation and Wellness Center including but not limited to Pida Plaza, Alumni Amphitheater, Student Union Courtyard, Academic Mall, and Student Recreation and Wellness Center Lawn:
   1. Sound levels must be set prior to the start of the event. Once set, sound must not be adjusted upward. Further reduction of the sound level or the termination of the amplified sound will be required if there are complaints about sound from occupants inside adjacent buildings.
   2. On-going monitoring of the immediate environment in each facility surrounding the event will be conducted by the event sponsor to guarantee that fluctuation in type of sound and style does not lead to unanticipated interference based upon pre-set volume level.
   3. Failure to maintain acceptable sound volume levels may result in the sponsor's immediate cancellation of the performance or event. If complaints are received indicating disruptions of teaching/learning functions or tasks in support of these functions, future requests to use amplified sound by the individual or organization will be denied.
2. Performing Arts Center Plaza (the area between the Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall and the Judy Bayley Theatre), i.e. "Flashlight" area and the adjoining steps down to the Academic Mall.
   1. This area is not intended for use as an event space or sales area without the consent of the Director of the Performing Arts Center or designee. The Dean of Fine Arts will be consulted prior to use of these areas when a college event is to be presented in said areas.
   2. The Plaza, situated at the North end of the Academic Mall, is ideally suited for political rallies and University ceremonial activities. Every effort will be made to extend the Academic Mall and to accommodate events of this nature. Due to the high volume of theater, box office, and business office traffic, the area will not normally be available for outdoor concerts, festivals or other public events.
   3. Indoor scheduled events will have first priority.
   4. The possibility of outdoor noise conflicts with indoor events will be a primary concern.
   5. Interference with normal daily academic traffic will also be an important consideration.
   6. Unauthorized users of the Plaza may be asked to vacate the area or to leave the campus.
3. Residence Hall Area: All outdoor events must be approved in advance by Housing and Residential Life. The primary areas used for outside events are the Tonopah Lawn and Warner Green.
4. McDermott Physical Education Complex exterior areas shall be under the sole control of the MPE Facilities Supervisor.
5. Thomas and Mack Center exterior shall be under the sole control of the TMC management.

7. Backlighted Advertising

Backlighted advertising is available for a fee on a space available basis from the Thomas & Mack Center.

Attendance at meetings and events may be limited to members of the University community or to members and invited guests of the sponsoring organizations. When meetings or events are open to the public, attendance by all persons must be permitted to the extent allowed by the size of the facilities. Disruptive individuals or uninvited attendees will be requested to leave or, when appropriate, ejected.

11. Fundraiser Activity Policy

Fundraisers are defined as events that charge admission, sell items, or solicit donations for the purpose of generating income for the sponsoring organization or to off-set the cost of holding the event. University departments may schedule appropriate facilities with the appropriate office for fund-raising events. However, full operating costs will be assessed the department. All expenses incurred by University units in conjunction with fundraising events must be covered by the revenues received.

1. If a University department co-sponsors a fundraising event, the following provisions shall apply:
   1. Full operating costs will be assessed by the Facility Manager.
   2. 10-15% of gross revenues will be charged with 50% distributed to the co-sponsoring department and 50% to the office that schedules the event.

Solicitations of any kind are forbidden in non-rented areas outside the designated area.
3. Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) may sponsor fundraising activities and drives (such as food drives or blood drives) for the benefit of the Student Organization or for an identified cause/philanthropy as these are considered normal functions of RSOs and will not incur charges beyond the RSO rate for use of facilities unless the RSO partners with an external organization. RSO activities may not be primarily commercial.

Appropriate approvals must be obtained in advance for the distribution of products and may not violate existing University contractual obligations such as with University contracted food service/UNLV Eats. Any food products or services must comply with the Southern Nevada Health Department requirements for food safety, food transportation, and food storage.
4. CSUN will be the sponsoring organization for all commercial tours. CSUN may sponsor one tour per semester for which it negotiates the fee. CSUN will be required to take complete responsibility for hosting the tour. Any additional tours will be charged a fee of $10,000.

   4. All sales transactions must be performed or monitored by bonded University cashiers approved by the UNLV Controller's Office. The cashier will be paid from the sales proceeds by the department receiving the revenue. A University cashier is not required for handling of cash in flat fee agreements. For percentage sales agreements a thorough inventory listing by both parties will be taken of all items to be sold prior to the commencing of the sales. After the sales period has concluded, both parties will re-inventory the items and arrive at a final sales count. The gross proceeds from all sales will then be divided by the agreed upon percentage and then distributed to the parties. All deducted sales tax must be reported to local governments by the User. All University revenues must be deposited into a UNLV business account immediately. A cashier drop must be made available for this purpose.
8. Any use of the University campus for marketing purposes, even if the merchandise is given away for no charge, must comply with the Advertising and Marketing Policy.

In the interest of facilitating the dissemination of news on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the following is UNLV's policy concerning placement of newspaper racks, and distribution of materials therefrom, on the UNLV campus.

To provide a reasonable time, place and manner for distribution of newspapers:
