Guidelines For Relatively Inexpensive Or Free Publicity

Chalking

  • Chalking can be an effective low-cost method of publicity. Chalking is allowed only on University sidewalks and city streets and sidewalks using water-soluble chalk only. Chalking will be considered vandalism (a violation of UWS Administrative Code and potentially subject to fine and/or disciplinary action) when the chalking is applied to University buildings or courtyard areas or when paint, oil-based chalk, or indelible markers are used.

  • RSOs who choose to chalk notices on sidewalks or streets should cooperate promptly with any University or Madison Police requests for identification and information about the chalking activity.
