Political activity on campus
University Police today received a report of a political flag placed atop an evergreen tree near Hyland Hall. This violates UW System guidelines for political activity on campus and the flag will be removed once the necessary equipment arrives to safely reach the flag. Police are also investigating the situation.
As we enter election season, it is a good reminder to familiarize yourself with the UW System’s guidance on political activity. Here is the link to that information. https://www.wisconsin.edu/government-relations/download/Political-Activity-on-Campus-2020-08-31.pdf
Because UW-Whitewater is a state institution, it is important that we follow these guidelines. Please note that there are specific guidelines for faculty and staff as well as students.
