The following poster rules apply according to the spaces listed below.
• Lobby. No postings are allowed on the lobby bulletin boards from groups other than Harnwell College House, College Houses and Academic Services, Housing and Conference Services or Facilities with the exception of the northernmost bulletin boards on the east and west sides. Non-Harnwell sponsored, academically-oriented organizations and activities may post one poster on these bulletin boards, which are the ones closest to the stairs to the Mezzanine and Dungeon. Staples are expressly forbidden from use on the lobby bulletin boards but tape and thumbtacks are acceptable.
• Mezzanine. The area outside the House Office is reserved for announcements and postings from Harnwell College House as well as College Houses and Academic Services. All items must be approved by the Harnwell Senior Staff prior to posting. Posters may not be placed on the columns, the walls or any other location on the Mezzanine.
•Floors 1 through RTL. Groups may post with impunity no more than two posters per floor on the east side of the elevator bays, on floors 1-RTL. Posters should not exceed the size of 11 x 17 inches and may not be placed on top of existing posters. On the RTL level and on the 1st floor staples are forbidden but tape and thumbtacks may be used to post.
• Doors leading to stairwells, stairwells, elevators. Groups may not place posters on doors leading to stairwells, within stairwells, or inside elevators. Groups violating this rule are especially subject to fines.
• Building Designation and events held in the house. Publicity for events held in large common spaces of the Harnwell (e.g., RTL, Dungeon, Upper Lobby) are permitted provided the proper room reservation has been approved. If an organization is holding an event at 3820 Locust Walk, the group may only poster if the location of the College House is properly labeled as Harnwell College House. The anachronistic abbreviation “HRE” may be used in parenthesis along with the college house designation but not as a substitute for the location.
Please Note:
• Harnwell firmly defends the right of free speech and expression on campus and actively promotes the civil exchange of ideas. In the spirit of the latter aim, students are urged to reconsider creating and distributing posters or flyers containing material or language that could be construed as malicious toward or dangerous to other responsible members of the University community. Students should further realize that public display of conceivably offensive or inflammatory material may unnecessarily provoke hostility from parties with whom better communication might be desired. (Put another way: please think twice before posting material that might actually hurt someone.)
• Any postings or flyers, including but not limited to quarter sheets of standard-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches) or postcards may not be placed under the doors of residents. Offending groups will be fined heavily for disregard of this policy.
