(1) Annually direct each campus to disclose all exclusive arrangements, excluding proprietary information, with banks or other commercial entities to engage in on-campus marketing of credit cards to students through solicitation activities in public campus areas, hereafter referred to as “tabling” activities.

(2) Prohibit banks and other commercial entities, including their third-party representatives, during on-campus tabling activities from offering gifts to students for filling out student credit card applications.
