Overview
The Facilities Management Grounds department is responsible for the flags on campus. To report issues with a flag on campus, such as a ripped or torn flag or damaged flagpole, please submit a Facilities Management Grounds service request. Lowering the flag of the United States of America to half-staff is done in accordance to Presidential instructions or guidelines set forth by the Office of the Governor. Central grounds staff are prompted by the notices they are subscribed to receive from Office of the Governor. Not all of the flagpoles by Weller can be raised and lowered, therefore the flag of the United States of America in this area stays raised at all times. In accordance with the United States flag code, when flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
