UW-Milwaukee Policy on Solicitation for Public Elections in the Residence Halls
This Policy was developed to allow residents the same access to information on political elections as students off campus while maintaining their right to privacy within their living area.
Candidates and their representatives may:
- Contact residents through direct mail via the U.S. Postal Service.
- Submit 8-1/2″ x 11″ flyers to the Service Desk for posting on the Bulletin Boards.
- Request, in writing, that individual Resident Assistants ask their floors whether the floor would be interested in an informal meeting to hear the candidates’ views on the issues. If so, the Resident Assistant will contact the person requesting the meeting to schedule a time.
Candidates and their representatives may not:
- Enter the Towers without an invitation to speak.
- Enter the Towers unescorted by their Host.
- Post flyers in the Towers.
SANDBURG COMMONS (FOR SANDBURG HALLS ONLY)
Candidates or their representatives may, in accordance with the University Housing Facility Reservation Policy, use the Commons for meetings, literature distribution, or informal contact if they follow the proper channels to reserve the space. Tabling or room reservation requests should be completed through the Tabling and Room Reservation form.
