The Idaho Commons Flat Screen Displays
The intent of the flat screens is to present information about local events and activities to students,
staff and faculty of the University of Idaho. The flat screens are located on each floor of the Idaho Commons
to create the best visual settings possible. The current ASUI calendar, time, date, weather, current and up-coming
events and student and departmental announcements are available on the display screens. The main purpose of the
display screens is to enhance the diversity and learning environment of the university by making information
available to all students, staff and faculty.
Content Requirements
All advertising content will be reviewed by designated personnel and upon dispute, finalized by the
Director of the Idaho Commons or other designated personnel. All content must be submitted in the correct format
to be considered and must be composed of respectable elements. There will be no profanity, obscenity, or demeaning
substances allowed. All displays must have the name and contact information of the sponsor visible at all times.
Events must be nonexclusive, open to the student body and/or general public to promote civic interests. At this
time, no political endorsements (at any professional level) will be allowed to ensure equal opportunity for all
candidates of election. However, public service announcements with the endorser clearly listed will be displayed.
The Idaho Commons and Union Student Advisory Department or its designee may approve or reject any
content.
