Rules for vendors 

Dear Forty-Niners, 

Your student senators and I support the concept of an open campus, but I'm mindful of the welfare of all our students and community visitors.

Lately, students have come to me with concerns about some of the commercial solicitors on our campus. Students mention the manner in which they are approached and the way some solicitors seem too aggressive. 

Vendors do have access to our campus. But, we do not want to have these types of complaints from our students.

The community at large, including commercial solicitors, does have access to campus, however we want all visitors to conduct themselves in a orderly manner. 

We have a process for vendors and solicitors to use that brings them in contact with university regulations for conducting themselves while on campus.

In addition to the regulations already in place, the Vice President for Student Services, Doug Robinson, has been working very hard to better identify the vendors who have been approved to solicit on campus. 

Next month, a new policy will be in place to assist vendors in understanding regulations regarding commercial solicitations.

CSULB President
Robert Maxson
