Hi Anita, We do not have a policy specifically for the market. We've been in operation for 10 years now. Vendors with whom we started are still participating, and we've added a few. We charge them a small fee for participating. The money goes for things like promotional items. There is a University budget for the market, and this is provided as part of the University Wellness effort.
We use time from a position in HR to coordinate the market. She handles communications, contracts, scheduling, etc. So that's a no for a professional market manager. There are a number of existing policies with which this activity had to align (use of University Outdoor Space, Environmental Health and Safety). This may not be specific enough for you, but our contact is Jan Arntzen at (612) 626-0385 if you want to know more.
