PM-32, Policy on use of LSU System Facilities and Premises |
Supercedes PM-32 dated August 28, 1998.
The facilities and premises of the LSU System are to be used for
accomplishing the educational objectives and programs of the
constituent campus. Departments and Divisions of the LSU System,
recognized campus groups, or non-university affiliated groups
and organizations may be granted permission to use the
facilities when there is no interference with the mission and
objectives, either specific or general, of the LSU System. The
following general policies shall govern the granting of
permission to use university facilities:
| 1. |
Departments and Divisions of the constituent campuses
shall have priority in the use of university facilities.
Recognized student organizations, organizations of
faculty and staff, and affiliated organizations shall
have priority over non-university organizations in the
use of available university facilities. Normally, no
charge will be made for use of facilities by
university-related organizations; however, such use
shall be at no direct cost to the LSU System or its
campuses, and the administrative head of each campus may
require the sponsoring organization to reimburse the
appropriate campus for the cost of utilities, janitorial
services, and other costs when such reimbursement seems
appropriate.
|
| 2. |
Educational, religious, and charitable organizations not
affiliated with the LSU System or its campuses may be
granted permission to use university facilities to
sponsor educational, religious, or charitable programs.
Programs of these organizations must be co-sponsored by
a university-related organization or department with a
logical relationship to the sponsored program. In all
cases, these organizations will be required to reimburse
the appropriate campus for the cost of utilities,
janitorial services, and other direct costs. When
admission is charged or funds are solicited, a certified
accounting of funds may be requested by the appropriate
campus head.
|
| 3. |
Administrative officers responsible
will exercise caution in long-range advanced scheduling
which may pre-empt the use of facilities needed for the
teaching, research, and other academic activities of
the-LSU System.
|
| 4. |
The following special policies are to
apply to the use of athletic facilities:
|
| |
a. |
When LSU System campuses are in session, use of the
athletic facilities should be permitted by
non-university groups for athletic events only with the
sponsorship of a LSU System division or recognized
campus organization.
|
| |
b. |
When LSU System campuses are not in
session, the use of the athletic facilities by
non-University groups may be permitted in accordance
with restrictions which will insure that the best
interest of the LSU System will be served.
|
| |
c. |
The use of university facilities, within which athletic
competitions are conducted, by professional sports teams
is prohibited. However, such facilities may be made
available to professional sports teams for special
events of limited duration with the approval of the
appropriate chancellor and the president of the LSU
System. Approval of the use of such facilities shall be
reported as an item of information to the LSU Board of
Supervisors. In such cases, all applicable policies of
the National Collegiate Athletic Association shall be
followed.
|
The administrative head on each campus shall prepare and file
with the Office of the Board of Supervisors such detailed
procedures as he/she deems desirable and necessary for the
implementation of the above policies.
William L. Jenkins, President
