								Right of

Use of space or grounds for purposes
				other than those for which they have been designated will not be permitted.
				Neither will individuals or groups be permitted to interrupt the use of space
				after it has been duly assigned, without permission of the president or a
				designated university official.
(B)
								Maintenance of
			 physical facilities
All work done on buildings, grounds,
				and other fixed facilities of the university is done by the physical facilities
				department unless other arrangements are approved by the vice president for
				finance and business services and treasurer.
(C)
								Use of public
			 areas of buildings and grounds
The buildings, grounds, and other
				property of Miami university campuses are dedicated to the educational mission
				of the university. Use of the buildings, grounds, and other property of the
				university is reserved for the direct and indirect support of the teaching,
				research, and service missions; of the university's administrative functions;
				and of students' campus-life activities. The university may prohibit or
				otherwise restrict access to or use of its buildings, grounds, and other
				property as may be necessary to provide for the orderly conduct of the
				university's teaching, research, and service missions; of the university's
				administrative functions; and of student's campus-life activities. Visitors are
				free to walk through our campuses; however, authorization is required from the
				university or from a recognized student organization to make speeches or
				presentations, to erect displays, to engage in any commercial activity, or to
				conduct similar activities on university-owned or university-controlled
				property.

(1)
									General
Every faculty or staff group and every
				officially recognized student organization has the right to request the use of
				university facilities on a space available basis for the purpose of holding
				meetings or conducting activities consistent with the objectives of that group
				or organization.
The university cannot permit the use of
				state owned equipment or facilities for any kind of non-sanctioned private
				instruction or other type of non-sanctioned private enterprise. This rule does
				not cover activities which are an integral part of the regular teaching load or
				other official assignment of members of the staff.
The use of any facility is determined
				by the president or designated university official. The use of any facility for
				purposes other than those specified will not be permitted to usurp a facility
				that has been duly assigned except by permission of the president or designated
				university official.
Policies concerning the use by students
				of university buildings and facilities are presented in the student
				handbook.
(2)
									Permanent academic and office space
Divisional deans submit requests for
				special needs of a permanent nature, such as space for faculty offices,
				research, and instructional laboratories, to the provost. Priorities are
				assigned in accord with the space available. Once specific areas are assigned
				to divisional deans they assume jurisdiction over them.
General classroom space in the academic
				buildings is not assigned to any specific academic department. These areas are
				under the jurisdiction of the office of the university registrar for assignment
				of regularly scheduled classes and are available for meetings and study
				purposes only on a temporary basis and only after being properly
				scheduled.
(3)
									Scheduling of space
(a)
										All regular
			 classroom space is scheduled by the office of the university registrar for all
			 hours. Classes may be moved only with his or her permission.

			 use space is assigned by the president. Faculty and staff members are expected
			 not to move their offices or to change continued use assignments without
			 approval from the appropriate dean or vice president.

			 facilities are scheduled by the office of the university registrar. (Please
			 refer to paragraph (D)(3)(d) of this rule.)

			 rule.)
