Guidelines for Scheduling the Use of Facilities

Â鶹ֱ²¥ facilities, including food services through ARAMARK, are available for Â鶹ֱ²¥ functions and certain non-Â鶹ֱ²¥ events as described below.

The Â鶹ֱ²¥ reserves the right (based on the nature of the event and scheduling factors) to judge the propriety of hosting any event on campus. The Â鶹ֱ²¥ is committed to standards that promote free speech and expression and that foster the exchange of ideas and opinions. These standards, however, are subject to reasonable restrictions. Free speech and expression do not include activity that is unlawful or that endangers or threatens the safety or any member of the community or the community’s facilities. Expression that is clearly offensive on matters such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual preference is inconsistent with the accepted norms of the Â鶹ֱ²¥.

Granting the use of Â鶹ֱ²¥ facilities does not imply acceptance or endorsement by the Â鶹ֱ²¥ of the organization using the facility or of any views held or expressed by it. No non-Â鶹ֱ²¥ organization may use “The Â鶹ֱ²¥” in its name for any other reason except to identify the location of the event. The Â鶹ֱ²¥ may, at its discretion, require organizations to display clearly the disclaimer “Not endorsed by The Â鶹ֱ²¥” on all promotional materials, advertisements, and literature distributed at or before the event as a condition for using Â鶹ֱ²¥ facilities.

  2. Co-curricular or extra-curricular Â鶹ֱ²¥ functions.

ALLOWABLE NON-UNIVERSITY FUNCTIONS:

  3. Wedding receptions for full-time Â鶹ֱ²¥ employees are limited to the months of June, July and August, provided facilities and ARAMARK are available.

Footnotes:

  1. When events are scheduled at the Â鶹ֱ²¥, minimum cost coverage will be requested to cover direct and/or overtime costs. Insurance certificates will ordinarily be required to protect the Â鶹ֱ²¥ against any claims.

  2. Requests for exceptions will be directed to the Senior Vice President for the Office of the President.
