Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study
was to establish a comprehensive and
representative portrait of written policies with
respect to displaying art in student unions in the
United States. This study was designed to answer
the following question: What policies are
implemented in member colleges and universities
of the Association of College Unions International
with respect to the display of art in galleries
and public spaces in student unions in the United
States?

One hundred institutions were selected for study
by a stratified random sampling of the 1997
membership list of the Association of College
Unions International. A total of 67 institutions
responded including 16 research universities, 33
comprehensive state universities, 15 liberal arts
colleges, and three community colleges. The
result of the document analysis demonstrated that
the majority of institutions in the sample, 60
percent, do not have a policy with respect to
displaying art in the gallery or public spaces
within the unions. Only 24 percent of the
institutions in the study have such a written
policy. The remaining institutions, 16 percent,
have gallery mission statements or exhibition
contracts. All policies received were classified
according to the a priori evaluation criteria set
in the study. Representative policy statements
were formulated from the information received.
