Commercial Speech

Advertising is a constitutionally protected expression. The university-sponsored publication may accept advertising. Acceptance or rejection of advertising is within the purview of the publication staff, who may accept any ads except for those for products or services that are illegal for students. The publication will not accept advertisements condoning the use of alcoholic beverages. The publication should attempt to solicit ads on every side of an issue of elections.
