MSC Display Areas

The MSC banner spaces, kiosks, and sandwich boards exist for the purpose of disseminating information about recognized student organizations, university departments, and their events.

Any display considered hazardous, illegal, or in violation of University regulations will be removed. Please note that these display areas are not designated for "Free Speech" purposes. In addition, displays or banners shall be in accordance with the University's antidiscriminatory statement.

The Memorial Student Center building is dedicated to those Aggies who gave their lives in defense of our country. In keeping with this dedication statement all displays should be consistent with the original intent of the building itself.

All applications for display space will be reviewed at the time of submission of a completed application, and space will be assigned unless there is a question pertaining to the above which will then be referred to the appropriate MSC Staff/Council officer.

All displays are also subject to the University Rules and Regulations as contained in the Policies and Procedures Manual for Student Organizations. One important requirement is that the name of an organization be clearly included in the display. Copies of these policies are available at the MSC Student Programs Services Island.

Decisions to remove displays or banners will be made by the MSC Director or his/her designee. Such decisions may be appealed at a regularly scheduled MSC Council meeting held on Mondays at 6:00 p.m. Arrangements for appeals will be made by notifying the MSC Council President at 845-1515 within two weeks of the actual removal.
