1. General

   1. Maucker Union provides space for the campus community to display advertising, announcements, and messages in the form of bulletin boards, electronic monitors, table tents, and display cases. University recognized groups/departments and approved non-profit community groups may also advertise.
   2. Each year, the by-laws for these monitors will be reevaluated by a sub-committee of the Student Affairs Committee. This is to ensure that the by-laws reflect positively on the mission of Maucker Union and university policies, along with student views and opinions on monitor usage.
   3. Use of the monitors for advertising and other pre-approved purposes is free to all recognized student organizations, university offices, departments, colleges, and divisions.
   4. NISG does not necessarily endorse messages or views expressed in advertisements.

2. Criteria for Approval

   4. Advertising slides cannot promote credit cards.
   5. All advertising slides must be in compliance with any and all applicable University of Northern Iowa Policies and Procedures.
