Wichita State University and WSU Tech don’t endorse political candidates or allow
the use of their names, logos, trademarks, facilities or other resources for political
purposes.
The WSU policy states:
“Use of the University's name, letterhead, logo, trademarks and/or resources (including
University computing and information technology resources) for partisan electoral
purposes such as solicitation of funds or other contributions in support of a political
party or candidates, endorsement of candidates for public office, or advocating a
position with regard to a public issue (other than an authorized spokesperson on behalf
of the University) is strictly prohibited.”
The mission of Wichita State University is to be an essential educational, cultural and economic driver for Kansas and the
greater public good. Wichita State is a doctoral research university enrolling nearly
15,000 students and offering 59 undergraduate degree programs in more than 150 areas
of study in seven undergraduate colleges. The Graduate School offers 45 master's and
12 doctoral degrees that offer study in more than 100 areas. Wichita State's Innovation
Campus is an interconnected community of partnership buildings, laboratories and mixed-use
areas where students, faculty, staff, entrepreneurs and businesses have access to
the university's vast resources and technology. For more information, follow us on
