Political Activities Policy
Purpose
Per Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, 501(c)(3) institutions are prohibited from directly participating in or intervening in any political campaign activities on behalf or in opposition to any candidate for elective public office. In complying with the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), this policy establishes guidelines regarding political activities
I. THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES ARE PERMISSIBLE:
Certain political campaign activities are permissible under Section 501(c)(3). These activities, however, must be classified as “educational” activities, in that they present a sufficiently full and fair picture of the facts and permit individuals to form independent opinions or conclusions about the candidates for elective public office. The following are examples of activities that may be permissible:
1) Provide a forum for candidate debates, if the following criteria are followed:
a. Debate should be open to all official candidates for the contested office that meet the Organization’s pre-established criteria.
b. Debate topics should cover a broad range of issues, including those issues of importance to the organization sponsoring the debate.
c. The agenda for the debate should address a wide range of issues and be of significant interest to members of the University community.
d. A moderator should be selected by the sponsoring organization and their role should be limited to ensuring that the debate rules are followed.
e. The debate should begin and end with a clear statement to the effect that the views presented are those of the candidates and not of the sponsoring organization.
f. No campaign fundraising may take place on Organization media space.
2) All Board must follow these:
a. Editorials must clearly state that the views reflected.
b. The Organization operations may accept paid political advertising by candidates as long as the acceptance of the advertising is made on the same basis as other non-political advertising and the advertisements should be preceded by a statement that they are paid advertising and not reflective of the Organization’s views. Advertisements should be solicited in a fair manner according to established guidelines and equal time should be given to all candidates.
3) Use of Organizational media facilities:
a The organization may rent spaces to any candidate, political campaign group, or any student organization on the same basis as other candidates, non-political campaign groups, student organizations or individuals. Rental fees and other pertinent charges must be paid by the group in line with current schedules. Preferential treatment is not permitted.
b. The organization will not promote or endorse any political campaign event held on our media pages.
c. The candidate or organization must read a statement at the start of the event that the use of the media facilities in no way constitutes an endorsement of the candidate or the organization.
d. No Political campaign fundraising may take place on our media pages.
e. The Organization and members are encouraged to host government officials in their official roles as duly-elected or appointed representatives of local, state & federal government. As partners, government officials merit the opportunity to celebrate successes, learn about developments, and make announcements related to their official duties. However, great care is to be taken to ensure said opportunities do not develop into partisan events; stamp the imprimatur of the organization on an elected official’s stance on a given initiative or policy; or take on the appearance of a candidate’s campaign event under the color of media coverage. To ensure the accurate representation of the organization’s participation in such events, all related press releases, including those generated by the respective public officials, are to be approved by the Board of Directors in Nursing Media Network.
f. Any policies on use of media space shall apply.
4) Voter/Poll registration awareness may be conducted if the following guidelines are met:
a. Voter registration drives must be conducted in a non-partisan manner. No campaign signs, banners or posters are permitted where the drive is being conducted.
b. The Organization must ensure that any voter guides distributed present all of the candidates and their views/responses in a non-partisan manner as in the case of NUNSA/NANSNM Unification response poll.
5) Statements made in an individual capacity. Board Members, Volunteers and committee members are encouraged to express their personal views and support candidates for elective public office in an individual capacity, the following disclaimer language should be made a conspicuous portion of the spoken or written remarks to reflect that such statement is made in an individual capacity and not on behalf of Nursing Media Network:
The views presented are solely those of the author (speaker) and do not represent the views of the Nursing Media Network. The Organization neither supports nor opposes the candidates and/or parties mentioned within the provided remarks.
II. THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES ARE NOT PERMITTED:
1) Activities that favor or oppose one or more candidates for public office.
2) Unsolicited interoffice communications including but not limited to email or other digital communications in support of or opposed to a candidate, campaign, political party, action committee, or group, are prohibited.
3) The use of Organization monies and resources to provide funding or logistical support for political campaign activities, such as advertising, attendance at campaign events, and other forms of advocacy are not permissible.
4) The Organization cannot indicate any support for a candidate with signs, banners, stickers, etc. in an official Organization public place.
5) Social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) that are created and/or maintained by, or for, Organizations units, must avoid anything that might be considered as political campaigning.
6) Public statements of position (verbal or written) made by or on behalf of the Organization in favor or opposition to a candidate for elective public office are not permissible.
7) Distributing statements through Organization-sponsored or financed means that are prepared by others that favor or oppose a candidate is not permissible.
8) Voter education drives conducted in a biased manner that favor or oppose candidates or specific political parties are not permissible.
9) Making telephone calls to the public advocating for a candidate or political party – in the name of the Organization is not permissible.
10) Organization-paid political advertisements (Social media accounts, websites, mailings) are not permissible.
11) No advertisements or editorials regarding candidates for elective public office may be placed in official Organization’s publications with the exception of those permitted activities cited in Section 2 of the “Permissible Activities” section.
12) Any political activity, whether sponsored by campus-based organizations or by external organizations, may be terminated immediately if found in violation of the above guidelines. Sponsors of such terminated events can be subject to provide reimbursement of costs incurred to balance the priority of open dialogue with regard to public matters, as well as to safeguard the 501(c)3 status of the Organization, those community members who wish to engage in partisan advocacy of issues are directed to use a blogging site not affiliated with the organization for that purpose.
III. HOSTING OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES ACTIVELY RUNNING FOR OFFICE:
The challenges and issues facing our nation are topics worthy of debate as a media organization that treasures the free exchange of ideas. Therefore, Organization facilities may be used to host events for candidates in public office. While the Organization, as an institution, will not, nor can it, endorse or appear to endorse specific candidates due to its status as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit institution, though students groups, and staff may seek to bring candidates to campus either through individual visits or debate settings between credible candidates.
Cooperation is essential to assure the Organization remains in compliance mission-based requirements. In the midst of a campaign and electoral season, many individuals, departments, and groups affiliated with the organization may receive requests from or forward invitations to candidates to appear on our media.
