Limitations on the use of college facilities for school activities.
The college buildings, properties, grounds, athletic fields, parking lots, and facilities, including those of the associated student body, may be used only for:
(1) The regularly established teaching, research, or public service activities of the college and its departments or related agencies.
(2) Cultural, educational, or recreational activities of the students, faculty, staff, or contracted partners.
(3) Short courses, conferences, seminars, or similar events, conducted either in the public service or for the advancement of specific departmental professional interests, when arranged under the official sponsorship of the college, its departments, associated student body, or contracted partners.
(4) Public events of a cultural or professional nature brought to the campus at the request of college departments or committees, official sponsorship, and active participation.
(5) Activities or programs sponsored by educational institutions, by state or federal agencies, by charitable agencies, civic groups, or community organizations whose activities are of widespread public service and of a character appropriate to the college.
(6) College facilities may be assigned to college recognized student organizations for regular business meetings, social functions, and for programs open to the public. Any college recognized student organization may invite speakers from outside the college community to speak on campus, subject to the availability of facilities and in compliance with administrative policies and procedures on the use of college facilities and expressive speech. The appearance of an invited speaker on campus does not represent an endorsement by the college, its students, employees, or board of trustees, implicitly or explicitly, of the speaker's views.
(7) Reasonable conditions may be imposed to regulate the appropriateness of requests, of space assigned, time of use, and to ensure the proper maintenance of the facilities. Subject to the same limitations, individuals or groups within the college community may request use of college facilities. Arrangements by both organizations and individuals must be made through the designated administrative officer per the college's administrative policies and procedures.
(8) The college may restrict an individual's or group's use of college facilities if that person or group has, in the past, damaged or destroyed college facilities. Charges may be imposed for any damage or theft during the use of the facilities. The individual, group, or organization requesting space will be required to state in advance the general purpose of any meeting.
