			 college space is used for an authorized function (such as a class or a public
			 or private meeting under approved sponsorship, administrative functions or
			 service-related activities), groups must obey or comply with directions of an
			 authorized representative of the college.
(2) If at any time actual use of college
			 facilities by an individual or group constitutes an unreasonable disruption of

			 persons engaged in such use shall immediately vacate the premises, and leave
			 the college property upon command of the appropriate college
			 official.
(3) Any individual or
			 group granted permission to use college facilities shall agree in advance to
			 abide by all college rules and regulations. The college reserves the right to
			 deny use of college facilities to any individual or group whose past conduct
			 indicates a likelihood that college rules and regulations will not be obeyed.
			 The college may also deny use to a requesting individual or organization which
			 has used the facilities in the past and has damaged college property, left
			 college buildings and grounds in excessive disorder, or failed to cooperate
			 with college staff concerning use of the facilities.
(4) No person may enter onto college grounds
			 or facilities possessing a visible firearm or other dangerous weapon, except
			 specifically as allowed by law.
(5)
			 College facilities may be used for purposes of political campaigning by or for
			 candidates who have filed for public office, directed to members of the public,
			 only when the full rental cost of the facility is paid. Use of state funds to
			 pay for facility rental costs for political campaigns is prohibited.

			 permitted only in locations and at times that will not interfere with the

			 college unit or conducted by contractual agreement with the college.

			 without the approval of the president or his/her designee(s). It shall be the

			 College.
(10) The use of tobacco
			 products is prohibited at Yakima Valley Community College except in designated

			 college shall not be associated with any program or activity for which the
			 college facilities are used without specific written approval from the
			 president or his/her designee(s).
(12) Rental of college facilities carries no
			 right of advertising on college premises other than the right to post a sign
			 for the purpose of directing people to the place of assembly.

			 agreement, an authorized member of the college staff shall be required to be
			 available at times when college facilities are in use by a group. If service

			 shall be paid by the using organization at the currently established rate. The
			 college may require and charge users for security services at the college's
			 discretion.

			 equipment and materials are intended to support and supplement the college's
			 curriculum. Equipment shall not be rented to external users, unless official
			 prior approval has been granted and currently established rates are charged.

			 right to use it.
