The Film Subcommittee must approve in advance any feature-length films that are shown on campus or during any university-related function. Current copyright laws prohibit universities and organizations from publicly showing movies that are intended for private use. Requests for the showing of a film should be submitted to the chair of the Film Subcommittee.
Academic schools/departments and residence halls may approve films for specific non-academic use. In such cases, the chair/dean plus one or more additional departmental faculty must participate in the approval process. Prior to the approval process, the schools/departments must contact the chair of the Film Subcommittee, who will provide film approval guidance.
