To encourage and accommodate a free exchange of ideas among individuals of diverse points of view
Events held on the ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ campus that are attended by candidates for public office or are part of the candidate’s general effort to build support for candidacy.
Events held on the ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ campus that are attended by candidates for public office or are part of the candidate’s general effort to build support for candidacy shall be free of charge and open to the general ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ community. An open invitation is defined as one for which no fewer than one-half the available seats or spaces are available to the general college community based on a distribution of tickets on a first-come, first-served or other unbiased basis. It is expected that these events will be structured in a way that encourages and accommodates a free exchange of ideas among individuals of diverse points of view. ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ programming will take precedence in scheduling of outside events.
These requirements do not apply to small organizational meetings or class sessions.
Use of ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ facilities is governed by the existing facilities rental agreement provisions.
