    The purpose of the MSU Electronic Message Center, located near the corner of Taft and Midwestern Parkway, is to promote and publicize university activities. The Athletics Office shall be responsible for its day-to-day operation and shall use the following criteria, listed in order of priority, to determine which messages shall be used:

    1. University-sponsored events, such as plays, concerts, student functions, athletics contests, continuing education programs, registration times and dates, and commencement.
    2. Events sponsored exclusively by MSU student organizations that are open to the student body as a whole.
    3. Congratulatory messages and/or acknowledgments to MSU students or personnel, donors, alumni, athletics corporate sponsors, and special campus visitors, provided such messages are related to university activities or programs.
  2. Requests for Use
    All requests for time on the message center must be submitted in writing to the Athletics Office at least one (1) week in advance. Messages should be kept as short as possible.

  3. Off-Campus Requests
    Due to limited time and space, the university shall not accept or run public service announcements for off-campus groups.

  4. Exceptions
    Exceptions to this policy may be approved by the President upon consultation with the Administrative Council.
