STUDENT SERVICES

Posting, Circulating, and Exhibiting Printed Matter and Filmed Material

Students are expected to use mature judgment and a sense of discretion in their selection, publication, display, presentation and circulation of any printed or filmed materials at any college location, and to realize that they must accept responsibility individually and collectively in the consequences of their choices on these matters. The appearance of the college name, seal or insignia on printed matter which is not published by the college is not authorized and does not imply college approval, support, or endorsement of the contents.

Notices

Notices may be posted by students and recognized student organizations on appropriate bulletin boards. Notices and posters are not to be taped, glued, or pasted on painted or finished wood surfaces. All such posting must be cleared in advance by the Coordinator of Student Activities at the Niceville Campus and the Provost at the Fort Walton Beach Campus. This will provide the best use of available facilities.

The general distribution of notices is prohibited by anyone other than instructional and staff personnel in the performance of their duties or by recognized student organizations to advertise an approved event.

Motion Pictures

Recreational motion pictures that are approved as part of a proposed student organization sponsored-event may be shown at any college location. The Dean of Student Services will consider for approval, only those films rated ¨G¨ and ¨PG¨ by the Motion Picture Association of America. Any college employee may restrain the display of any unauthorized film or motion picture.

Student Publications

The editorial freedom of student editors entails the corollary responsibility to be governed by the canons of responsible journalism, such as the avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, and the techniques of harassment and innuendo.

Student publications shall contain a statement to the effect that the opinions expressed therein are not necessarily those of the faculty, staff or student body of the college.

Policy Formulation

A student who wishes to suggest a change in any policy of the college should submit a written recommendation to the Student Senate for evaluation. If favorably received by the Senate, the proposal shall be submitted by the Student Senate to the College-Wide Council or the appropriate standing committee/subcommittee of the college for consideration.
