Solicitation, canvassing, and leafleting on BAMSI premises are limited in accordance with the guidelines outlined below. This is intended to ensure the continuity of BAMSI work and operations; to avoid the misuse of BAMSI facilities or resources in ways which would impair its status; and to preserve both the fact and the appearance of the Institute’s impartiality.
Non-BAMSI individuals, groups, or organizations are not permitted to engage in solicitation of any kind, nor may they distribute written material of any kind on BAMSI property, except as provided for in official contractual or purchase order arrangements or as explicitly authorized.
BAMSI employees may not engage in solicitation or canvassing of any kind, including solicitation for membership or subscriptions, during working time or in areas where distribution of such materials disrupts services.
Employees may not use their positions or the Institute's facilities, letterhead, communications media (including campus or electronic mail), or other resources for purposes of political or other solicitation or canvassing.
The Executive Director or Board may provide an exception to permit the use of BAMSI staff time and resources for canvassing for contributions, to collect for charitable, educational, or related programs or for programs directly sponsored by the Institute.
