GA2012.3 Government Relations Procedure

Purpose

SUNY Broome Community College is supportive of civic engagement, and is committed to encouraging a bipartisan spirit on our campus. To maintain that spirit, it is important that the College’s administration is aware of any political activity on our campus, including visits from elected officials or political candidates.

Statement of the Procedure

Any public or media events held in conjunction or collaboration with elected officials must be routed through SUNY Broome’s MarCom office. Types of events include, but are not limited to, press conferences, scholarship presentations, and having elected officials as guests in a classroom. This is especially important for any events where students are present or involved.

Any member of the SUNY Broome community contacted by elected officials or their representatives regarding college-related matters, programs and events should inform the Director of Marketing, Communications & Public Information in a timely fashion.

Members of the SUNY Broome community may contact elected officials on behalf of the College, or invite elected officials to the College’s campus, after receiving approval from the Director of Marketing, Communications & Public Information and College administration.
