Sponsorship and Advertising Policy Announced
Published December 5, 2019
The Sponsorship and Advertising Policy, approved and signed by President Tripathi, is available in the University Policy Library.
Overview
The University at Buffalo recognizes that many of its activities and programs provide potential sources of revenue or other benefits through sponsorship, advertising, and promotional opportunities. The university also recognizes that, as a public institution, it is important to protect its reputation and brand while maintaining high standards of integrity and ethical conduct. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities must:
- Align with the university’s mission and core values
- Be free of obscene, indecent, or profane material
- Comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations as well as university policies
This policy governs all revenue generating sponsorship and advertising practices of the university. The policy promotes a comprehensive, coordinated, singular point of contact to existing and potential sponsors. University schools, centers, departments, venues, and student groups who engage external entities for sponsorship or advertising must do so with coordination through the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
Applicability
This policy applies to all employees and students soliciting corporate sponsorships or advertising revenue. This includes but is not limited to university academic and administrative units, centers, institutes, student groups, and clubs that seek corporate sponsorship or advertising revenues.
