Advertisements On Overhead Transparencies

Phillip L. Barkley, Director

Please let your faculty and staff know that they have no obligation to allow students to place overhead transparencies advertising drink specials and/or nightclub ads on the projectors prior to the start of classes. This practice is becoming more and more common, especially in large lecture halls. The tacit approval it suggests may undermine our best efforts to encourage healthier choices on the part of students. An excellent resource for faculty and staff who share our concerns about student health and well-being may be found at: http://www.health.ufl.edu/shcc/cadrc5.htm.
