APLU reserves the right to prequalify all applicants for potential sponsor and partner agreements. The prequalification process seeks to ensure sponsors and partners meet the educational needs of APLU members and do not discriminate because of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, sex or disability. 1. Payments and Cancellations. In applying for sponsorship, the Sponsor will submit full payment with the signed contract. In the event the Sponsor provides APLU with a written notice of cancellation for any unpublished advertisement after June 1, 2016, APLU shall have the right to retain 50 percent of such payment as a processing fee. 2.

I. PREFACE
The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) provides selected organization and corporations
with the opportunity to sponsor its 2016 CII Summer Meeting.
The primary interests served by having a sponsorship program are: to provide an opportunity for corporations
and organizations to demonstrate their interest in and support for the mission and services of APLU and of its
members; and, through their financial support, to defray the costs associated with the Summer Meeting that
otherwise would be borne by attendees.
II. GENERAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR APLU SPONSORS
Sponsors at APLU’s 2016 CII Summer Meeting are provided the opportunity to demonstrate their strong support
for the higher education community. APLU only accepts organizations and corporations that have goals
consistent with APLU’s mission. APLU appreciates the commitment of its sponsors, which helps to ensure that
APLU continues to deliver the highest quality programs to its members. The following principles serve to guide
the relationship between APLU and its sponsors.
APLU strives to provide meaningful recognition to those who sponsor its programs and services.
APLU’s interactions with its sponsors are characterized by the same high degree of professionalism,
quality, and service that it provides to and shares with its own members. APLU’s interactions with its sponsors/exhibitors are always personalized and collegial, in keeping with the Association’s culture and core values of civility and collegiality.
APLU understands the desire on the part of sponsors to receive as much recognition as possible, but APLU
respects its members first and foremost, and therefore retains the right to limit sponsor access to APLU members, including access to certain meeting sessions.
Sponsorship are completely independent of programmatic planning. In a few exceptions where speaking
slots are part of sponsorship, sponsors are not allowed to use time to sell any specific products or materials.
APLU maintains strict and complete editorial control over all materials published in connection with sponsorship.
APLU does not endorse an individual sponsor or its products and services. APLU acknowledges
sponsorship participation publicly, but in ways that do not suggest or intend endorsement.
APLU is accountable primarily to its members. Member objectives and directives, if they are ever in
conflict with sponsor objectives, take precedence.
III. RELEVANCE TO APLU’S MISSION & PRIORITIES
APLU seeks corporate support only for activities in connection with programs and initiatives that support
APLU’s mission.
Sponsors must be relevant to APLU membership and acceptance of a proposal for sponsorship of any
program or activity is at the discretion of APLU.
APLU reserves the right to reject any sponsorship deemed inappropriate to, or inconsistent with, the
mission of APLU. APLU further reserves the right to negotiate with any sponsor concerning any aspect of a
proposed sponsorship and decline sponsorship as it deems necessary.
APLU may consult with members on an as needed basis for their feedback on potential sponsors.
APLU POLICY ON CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS
All sponsors are also subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the APLU Application and Contract for
Sponsorship.
