Statement of purpose.

(1) Clover Park Technical College is an educational institution provided for and maintained by the people of the state of Washington. College facilities are reserved primarily for educational uses including, but not limited to, instruction, research, public assembly of college groups, student activities and other activities directly related to the college's educational mission. The college is under no obligation to make its public facilities available to the community for private purposes.
(2) The public character of the college does not grant to individuals an unlimited license to engage in conduct that limits, interferes with, or otherwise disrupts the normal activities for and to which the college's facilities and grounds are dedicated. Accordingly, Clover Park Technical College designates the common pedestrian walkways, pathways, thoroughfares, and grassy fields as a public use area and limited public forum dedicated to the use of college groups and noncollege groups may use for the limited purposes recited herein and that are further subject to the time, place, and manner limitations and restrictions set forth in this chapter.
(3) The purpose of the time, place, and manner regulations set forth in this chapter is to establish procedures and reasonable controls for the use of college designated public use areas for college and noncollege groups. These regulations are intended to balance the college's responsibility to fulfill its mission as a state educational institution with the interests of college groups and noncollege groups seeking to engage in constitutionally protected speech, assembly, or expression on campus. These regulations govern the use of designated public spaces by college and noncollege groups and are not intended to limit or otherwise infringe upon other expressive rights possessed by these groups.
