ARTICLE II: CAMPAIGN GUIDELINES
Section 2. (Incorporated in Section 3)
Section 3. Non-Disruption of Classes During the Summer Term. Due to the condensed schedule of the Summer Term, in-class campaigning is strongly discouraged. However, professors may, at their sound discretion, permit in-class campaign activities, provided that the Arellano Law COMELEC is notified in advance and an official COMELEC representative is present. Should the professor grant permission, campaign speeches shall be strictly limited to a maximum of three (3) minutes, with an additional two (2) minutes allotted for a question-and-answer period.
