Campus in Brief Publications Policy

This policy is intended to explain the purpose and content of the weekly internal email newsletter Campus in Brief. We provide examples of allowable and unallowable types of news, however, this is not intended to be an all-inclusive statement. Questions on the appropriateness of any submission should be directed to the communications staff in the President's Office.

Purpose of the Publication
To provide timely and significant news and events of interest to the CSM staff and faculty, and to do so in a concise, reader-friendly format. Submissions may be edited for length and/or content at the discretion of Campus in Brief staff. Most announcements will be run one week only; some may be run up to two times, as determined by Campus in Brief staff.

Acceptable Content
Official campus and campus-related events of interest to a significant portion of readers. For example:
· Regular seminars, lectures, colloquia
· Official training events and activities
· School-sponsored contests and competitions
· Community events in which the School is involved
· Official Human Resources notices
· Requests for donations or funds will be considered on an individual basis

Unacceptable Content

· Employee retirement
· Student activities attended primarily by students (submit instead to the Oredigger)
· Announcements or advertisements from commercial enterprises
