Political Campaigning
The three major concerns in regard to campaigning are to protect rights of privacy, to protect the name of Manhattanville College, and to avoid soliciting funds on campus for political purposes. Therefore, the following policies have been established:
- An information table may be set up in public areas outside the Bookstore upon approval from the designated College staff member.
- Door-to-door canvassing or display tables in residence halls, administrative or academic areas is not permitted.
- Voter registration sign-up tables are the exception because this is a drive to promote civic responsibility and is non-partisan.
- The name “Manhattanville” may not be used in connection with any political purposes.
- Implied approval by Manhattanville for any political candidate may not be used.
- There can be no effort to solicit funds for a campaign. If donations for campaign paraphernalia are requested, it is understood that this is voluntary.
