Policy regarding Elected Officials and Candidates for Public Office

As an education institution, Nazareth College encourages opportunities for candidates running for political office to visit the campus. These visits often provide our students with information and a view of the political process, which can be uniquely described by candidates. It is important, however, for all members of the campus to be aware of, and to abide by, the College’s guidelines concerning political activities on campus. These guidelines stipulate the types of events and activities that are permissible, the kinds of activities that are proscribed and the appropriate institutional office that must be involved and consulted in the planning of any activities in which elected officials and or candidates for public office are involved.

Federal regulations pertaining to the College’s status as a tax-exempted organization restrict persons acting on its behalf from certain activities. Individual members of the faculty, staff and student body of Nazareth College are entirely free to support candidates of their choice for elective office, or to express their personal views on political issues as long as they are not acting in an official capacity as a representative of Nazareth College. This means therefore, it precludes the use of Nazareth College letterhead, telephones, e-mail or use of any other property owned by Nazareth College on behalf of any political party or candidate for public office. With appropriate organization sponsorship and/or faculty vision, the use of College facilities for political discussions or debates is encouraged. Student organizations, for example, may sponsor such an event on campus or conduct a voter registration drive. Classroom activity may also include discussions or debates on political issues as a legitimate part of the educational process.

College facilities may be used for public events such as legislative hearings and topics of general or educational interest. College facilities may not be used for partisan political functions such as fund raising events or similar activities that could be construed as an endorsement of a particular candidate or political party.

Whenever there are plans for an elected official or a candidate for public office to visit the Nazareth campus, the Vice President for Institutional Advancement should be notified during the planning time. This includes academic conferences, tours, any type of meeting as well as student sponsored events. This will enable the Office of the Vice President for Institutional Advancement to assist in determining that the College is following the federal guidelines. Details such as a copy of the invitation to the public, who is paying for the event and the content of the program, should be outlined briefly.

No outside groups may rent any Nazareth facilities for activities that are part of a campaign for public office.
