I'm working on my thesis document, and the university requires the following disclaimer be at the bottom of all pages of the Acknowledgments section.

Acknowledgements reflect the view of the author and are not endorsed by the committee members or the university.

I have attempted to add the following:

\let\thefootnote\relax\footnote{Acknowledgments reflect the views of the author and are not endorsed by committee members or the university.}

but this does not keep the footer on all pages of this section.

Is there any way to keep a running note such as this for a certain section?

    I would use a bottom float, either figure, table or create a new float type. Since counter bottomnumber=1 (default), you can add one for each page at the beginning. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/469384/…

  • Thanks for your comment. I did add a simple table float that can be placed inline when needed. Hacky, but it works for now.

Try this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhf{} 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt}

\lfoot{\thepage}
%\rfoot{\vspace{-.8cm}\Footer\\vspace{.24cm}
\footnotesize Acknowledgments reflect the views of the author and are not endorsed by committee members or the university.

\begin{document}
…
\end{document}

  • Is this going to edit all footers or just the ones in that particular section? It looks to me like this changes the footers for the entire document.

    After the acknowledgements section you can revert it with \rfoot{}. And, by the way, these are deprecated commands. I would prefer fancyfoot[R]{...}.
