1. Food Service
   • The first responsibility will be to provide quality food at a reasonable cost for the students, faculty, and administration. The Student Union will serve food at the request of the College administration to all educational and non-educational groups who may be on our campus. It will not be the policy to solicit patrons or outside groups to use the food service, but sometimes requests are received from the community to serve large groups for which there are not adequate facilities in the community. Such requests will not be considered if they do interfere with activities already scheduled.
   • All meals served in the Student Union must be prepared and served by the Student Union Food Service. Meals prepared outside the Student Union may not be brought into the Student Union for sale or consumption.
   • The facility rental fee will be waived if the sole purpose of using a room is to be served a meal, or at the discretion of the Student Union Director.
   • Campus organizations may provide refreshments (drinks and cookies) at their meetings provided these meetings are held in a room where food may be served, and the refreshments are provided by the Student Union Food Service on a contracted basis.
   • All arrangements for food service will be made with the Director of Food Services. (Room reservations will be made with the Student Union Director's Office.)
2. Key Policy
   • Building master keys will be issued to staff personnel whose duties require access to the total building.
   • Area master keys will be issued only to staff personnel whose duties require access to a limited area.
   • Keys will be issued only to students whose work requires a key. All requests for keys will be made in the Director's office.

6. Assessments for Damages or Losses
   • Any group or individual accountable for any damages or losses occurring during, or resulting from, individual conduct or group activity in the Student Union will be held directly responsible for the damages or losses. The amount of the assessment will be in terms of actual cost of repair or replacement.
   • Organizations assigned office space or work space will assume the same responsibility during the assigned period.
   • Any movement of furnishings and equipment in or out of the building or between rooms within the building, alteration of electrical wiring, or changing fixtures in any way will be done only with the approval and under the supervision of the authorized college personnel.
