(1) Signs, posters,
placards, banners, handbills, flyers, announcements, and similar materials may
be placed:
(a) Indoors:
(i) On bulletin boards that have been
designated "general use" bulletin boards by the university. All other bulletin
boards are reserved to the use of the university department that manages them,
and only information related to university, university recognized or sponsored
activities, college, or department may be posted thereon.
(ii) Bulletin boards that have been
designated as general use will contain notice of that designation, together
with the note as to who, if anyone, must be contacted in order to post on the

to post based upon the content of the message.
(b) Outdoors:
(i) On bulletin boards designated for general
use;
(ii) At the kiosks at the
Pullman campus designated for general use; and
(iii) Free-standing displays may be placed on
free speech areas of each campus, if the user has received the written approval
of the chief administrator designated at that campus prior to posting, who may
deny or defer a request to a later date based upon competing uses of the
requested space, but will not deny a request based upon content. Such chief
administrator is identified on the campus use committee web site. The web site
is found by accessing the WSU web site at:
http://www.wsu.edu/.
(c) The overhead walkways that cross streets
at the Pullman campus may be used by the university and students, including
student government organizations and registered student organizations to
display banners that promote a university event or an approved event sponsored
by student government or a registered student organization, if the user has
received the written approval of the scheduling office prior to posting, and if
the banners are constructed of durable, weather-proof material, have air vents
and metal grommets, and are attached to the structure with approved cable ties.
Tape, rope, and/or wire are not permitted.

handbills, flyers, announcements, and similar materials may not:
