WAC 132H-140-020
Statement of purpose. Bellevue
Community College District VIII is an educational institution
provided and maintained by the people of the state of
Washington. The college reserves its facilities, buildings
and grounds for those activities that are related to its broad
educational mission. At other times, the college facilities
may be made available to other individuals and organizations.
The purpose of these regulations is to establish
procedures and reasonable controls for the use of college
facilities for non-college groups and for college groups where
applicable.
In keeping with this general purpose, and consistent with
RCW 28B.50.140(7) and 28B.50.140(9), facilities should be
available for a variety of uses which are of benefit to the
general public if such general uses substantially relate to
and do not interfere with the mission of the college. However, a state agency is under no obligation to make its
public facilities available to the community for private
purposes.
Primary consideration shall be given at all times to
activities specifically related to the college's mission, and
no arrangements shall be made that may interfere with, or
operate to the detriment of, the college's own teaching, or
public service programs.
Reasonable conditions may be imposed to regulate the
timeliness of requests, to determine the appropriateness of
space assigned, time of use, and to insure the proper
maintenance of the facilities. Subject to the same
limitations, college facilities shall be made available for
assignment to individuals or groups within the college
community. Such arrangements by both organizations and
individuals must be made through campus operations.
