Can a campus advertise an event that has a commercial sponsor, such as Ford, and link to their site?
You can advertise the sponsored event as such, because it is factual – e.g., Ford is sponsoring x event on the campus. Linking to the sponsor’s website from the advertisement of the event is less clear. Depending on how it is done, and what website the link takes the user to, it is possible that this could be perceived as an endorsement of the sponsor’s business. Careful consideration needs to be given to the appearance and placement of any corporate link — e.g., size, any bells or whistles that particular draw attention to it, total number of links on the page, and so on.
