Ad support on UC sites

One of our professors runs a site (with a custom domain) on our
server. Even though it's on a non-berkeley.edu domain, it's still
treated as a product of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of
Journalism. The site has become quite popular and the professor is
interested in raising some additional funds by running Google AdSense
ads on the site.

Objection: What will this do the site's credibility?
Answer: Virtually every online publication runs ads alongside
content. What's new about that?

Objection: UC is partially taxpayer funded.
Answer: So? We raise money a thousand different ways around here. How
is this any different?

Now he's got me curious. Are there any UC proscriptions or policies
against running ads on UC sites?

Any opinions/facts on this topic?

Thanks,
Scot
