The university is a non-profit organization and is strictly limited in terms of accepting advertising revenue that would compromise its non-profit status for tax purposes. As such, advertising is not appropriate for any part of the university site. (See Advertising Policy.) In addition, messages that imply university endorsement should be avoided. Links to partners and affiliates should be provided as resources, and should avoid advertisement or official endorsement.
