Political Activities
Each member of the university community has the right to freely express his/her views on any subject, including advocacy for/against candidates for public office. However, in exercising these rights, the resources of the university cannot be used. Engagement in political activities by employees should be conducted independent of their employment and at times when such activity does not interfere with employment. If an employee seeks to be a candidate for office or seeks to serve in office, there are strict timelines and a petition to receive permission.
