## Text

The trustees of Highline College believe that educational and community service opportunities are extended to the community when the college's buildings, grounds, and facilities are made available for use by the students, faculty, administration, staff, and the community. This use shall not interfere with regular college activities and shall be in accordance with the public interest and welfare, all applicable state and federal laws, and shall be in the best interest(s) of the college as interpreted by the administration of Highline College and/or the board of trustees.
College facilities are reserved primarily for educational use including, but not limited to, instruction, research, public assembly of college groups, student activities and other activities directly related to the educational mission of the college. The public character of the college does not grant to individuals an unlimited license to engage in activity that limits, interferes with, or otherwise disrupts the normal activities for and to which the college's facilities and grounds are dedicated. Accordingly, the college is a designated public forum opened for the limited purposes recited herein and further subject to the time, place, and manner limitations and restrictions set forth in this policy.
The purpose of the time, place, and manner regulations set forth in this policy is to establish procedures and reasonable controls for the use of college facilities for both college and noncollege groups. It is intended to balance the college's responsibility to fulfill its mission as a state educational institution of Washington with the interests of college groups and noncollege groups who are interested in using the campus for the purposes of constitutionally protected speech, assembly or expression. The college recognizes that college groups should be accorded the opportunity to utilize the facilities and grounds of the college to the fullest extent possible
