Washington Administrative Code › Title 132Z - Cascadia College › Chapter 132Z-140 - Use of college facilities › Section 132Z-140-040 - Policies limiting use

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) 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. No person
			 may solicit contributions on college property for political uses, except where
			 this limitation conflicts with federal law regarding interference with the
			 mails.
(2) Posters and samples may
			 be posted or distributed only in designated areas of the campus, unless prior
			 permission to post/distribute is obtained from the executive director of
			 communications and marketing. Information on the location of designated
			 poster/distribution areas may be obtained in the office of the executive
			 director of communications and marketing.
(3) WAC
			 132Z-140-010 through
			 132Z-140-122 shall apply to recognized student groups using college
			 facilities.
(4)Handbills, leaflets,
			 and similar materials except those which are commercial, obscene, or unlawful
			 may be distributed in designated areas on the campus where, and at times when,
			 such distribution will not interfere with the orderly administration of the
			 college affairs or the free flow of traffic. Prior authorization must be
			 obtained from the executive director of communications and marketing. Any
			 distribution of materials as authorized by the executive director of
			 communications and marketing shall not be construed as support or approval of
			 the content by the college community or the board of trustees.
(5)Use of audio amplifying equipment is
			 permitted only in locations and at times that will not interfere with the
			 normal conduct of college affairs as determined by the vice-president for
			 administrative services.
(6)The
			 right of peaceful dissent within the college community will be preserved. While
			 peaceful dissent is acceptable, violence or disruptive behavior is not a
			 legitimate means of dissent. If any person, group, or organization attempts to
			 resolve differences by means of violence, the college retains the right to take
			 steps to protect the safety of individuals, the continuity of the educational
			 process, and the property of the state.
(7)Orderly picketing and other forms of
			 peaceful dissent are protected activities on and about the college premises
			 when such premises are open to public use. However, interference with free
			 passage through areas where members of the college community have a right to
			 be, interference with ingress and egress to college facilities, interruption of
			 classes, injury to persons, or damage to property exceeds permissible
			 limits.
(8)Where 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 the designated
			 administrative officer or individual in charge of the meeting.
