UW-Milwaukee hopes to have an internal OmniTech leasing program in place soon. The program will be funded internally so that there won't be external finance charges. This effort will also help enforce one vendor as a campus standard. UW-Parkside will also be talking with OmniTech soon. There is a crucial difference between advertising and sponsorship.
Advertising is the promotion of any non-university product.
Sponsorships are programs or research that are sponsored by a gift in kind or a gift of money. Recognition of sponsorships is allowed. There are different kinds of university publications, academic versus non-academic and electronic versus hardcopy. Academic publications support the academic mission of the university and advertising should not be allowed. However, advertising is appropriate in non-academic publications as long as the existing University guidelines are followed for content, placement, etc.
