Western Washington University is an educational institution provided and maintained by the people of the state of Washington in order to carry out its broad missions of teaching, research, and public service. A state agency is under no obligation to make its public property available to the community for private purposes, and the university generally reserves its property, buildings, and grounds for its mission-related activities, including: Instruction, research, assembly, student activities, and recreational activities related to education. However, the university makes property available for a variety of uses that are of benefit to the general public under the conditions set forth in these regulations if such general uses substantially relate to, or do not interfere with, university missions.
The purpose of these regulations is to establish procedures and reasonable controls for the use of university property by nonuniversity groups or individuals, university affiliates, university groups or individuals, or students, faculty, or staff who desire to use university property for personal, private, or nonuniversity group related activity.
Reasonable conditions may be imposed to regulate the timeliness of requests, to determine the appropriateness of space assigned, time of use, and to ensure the proper maintenance of the property.
