Policies and Risk Management

Targeted Audience: Membership vs. All-Campus vs. General Public Audience

A "membership audience" is generally defined as an audience composed of only people a part of the RSO (i.e. board meetings, workshops, etc.).

An "all-campus audience" is generally defined as one that is advertised outside the membership of the organization but limited to IUPUI students, (i.e. Ball Fair, Summer Slam, etc.)

A "general public audience" is generally defined as one that is advertised to individuals not affiliated with IUPUI; both being promoted as being open to persons who are not members of the sponsoring organization(s), (i.e. parties, fashion shows, etc.)

The chance of risk increases when non-IUPUI individuals are taking part in university events. When students don't attend the University they have little to nothing to lose by damaging property or disturbing the peace. Organizations should always consult the OSI for assistance, especially for an all-university or general public audience.

As a student organization leader, OSI hopes that you care about the well-being and safety of your members and event participants. The OSI staff encourages you to visit rso.iupui.edu for more resources on risk management, ask any questions you may have, and attend our SOLD workshops to learn about effective ways to practice risk management.

If you would like to meet with an OSI staff member for event planning and risk management assistance or consultation, please feel free to email us at osi@iupui.edu or stop by Campus Center 370.
