Policy Statement

The University of California, Berkeley is committed to free speech as essential to its educational mission and as a vital component of its identity. The University is also committed to enabling student organizations and other groups to host a variety of events on campus and thereby to supplement and enrich students’ educational experience. Toward that end, the campus makes certain facilities and spaces available to student organizations and to other non-University users for events. For purposes of this policy, non-departmental users include individuals other than current employees of the University of California acting within the course and scope of University employment and organizations other than academic and administrative departments of the University of California. Non-departmental users include, but are not limited to, private individuals, private corporations, non-profit organizations, unincorporated associations, and student organizations including student government entities.

Non-departmental users must adhere to the terms and conditions of this policy, including by obtaining written permission from the campus to host Major Events. Campus facilities are made available for non-departmental users other than Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) only when those events result in the generation of revenue for the campus.

This policy is explicitly intended to support the ability of non-departmental users to host Major Events on campus and will be applied without regard for perspectives or positions expressed in connection with those events. All criteria for assessing Major Events must be applied in a viewpoint-neutral manner and without regard to the content of any performance or speaking aspect of the event.

Scope of Policy

This policy applies to Major Events hosted by non-departmental users anywhere on campus except in locations generally open to the public as defined in Sections 311 and 331 of the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies.

Events in Upper Sproul Plaza and West Crescent Lawn are not subject to this policy. Non- departmental users may plan events at those locations on short notice in accordance with the requirements of the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies.

For purposes of this policy, a Major Event is any planned gathering including but not limited to celebrations, social gatherings with or without amplified music or sound, lectures, forums, performances, concerts, rallies, speaker presentations, and conferences at which one or more of the following conditions apply:

  1. 300 or more people are expected to attend;
  2. Authorized campus officials determine the event is likely to significantly affect campus safety and security (based on assessment from the UCPD) or significantly affect campus services other than those provided by the administrative unit making the event facility available (including kiosk guards, service roads, or parking);
  3. Authorized campus officials determine the event has a substantial likelihood of interfering with campus functions or activities other than the functions and activities of the administrative unit making the event facility available;
  4. The event is a dance as defined by this policy (as distinguished from a performance during which the performers are dancing) or a concert featuring amplified sound, at which a majority of the audience is not seated;
  5. Alcohol is intended to be served, unless the event is a memorial service reception attended by fewer than 300 people or is an event at the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Botanical Garden, Blake House, or Anthony Hall; or
  6. Outdoor amplified sound is requested.

Any determination by authorized campus officials that an event constitutes a Major Event under items 2 or 3, or 4 above will be based on the officials’ assessment of information other than the content or viewpoints anticipated to be expressed during the event. The authorized campus officials will be the Chancellor and/or the Chancellor’s designee or designees. If the Chancellor assigns a designee, the designee must be an Associate Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Associate Vice Chancellor or Assistant Vice Chancellor. No member of UCPD is an authorized campus official for purposes of those paragraphs. The campus will use the Campus Event Risk Grid (Appendix A) to further determine the potential impact of an event and what permits, reviews, or other requirements are necessary.

Permissible criteria to be used to determine whether an event is likely to significantly affect campus safety and security or significantly affects campus services under item 2 above are thefollowing:

  1. the proposed location of the event,
  2. the estimated number of participants,
  3. the time of the day that the event is to take place,
  4. the date and day of the week of the event,
  5. the proximity of the event to other activities or locations that may interfere, obstruct, or lessen the effectiveness of the security measures being implemented,
  6. the resources needed to secure the event,
  7. the anticipated weather conditions,
  8. the estimated duration of the event,
  9. any objective and credible evidence regarding actual threats to campus safety or security, and
  10. any similar viewpoint- and content-neutral considerations relevant to assessment of campus safety, security, and services.

Permissible criteria to be used to determine whether an event has a substantial likelihood of significantly interfering with other campus functions or activities under item 3 above are the following:

  1. the proposed location of the event,
  2. the estimated number of participants,
  3. the time of the day the event is to take place,
  4. the expected duration of the activity;
  5. the activity’s timing in relation to the academic calendar (for example, proposed scheduling during the first week of classes or during final examination week);
  6. the expected noise level to be generated by the activity;
  7. the need for and/or availability of University resources and personnel to facilitate, oversee or control the activity; and (h) any similar viewpoint- and content-neutral considerations relevant to assessment of potential disruption to campus functions or activities.

The campus reserves the right to classify any proposed event a Major Event subject to this policy, consistent with the definition set forth above. Non-departmental event organizers areencouraged to consult with the appropriate campus contact at the earliest possible time if they have any question whether their event may be classified as a Major Event.

This policy applies to Major Events scheduled, organized, or supervised by non-departmental users or over which non-departmental users have authority to decide whether to hold the event or to determine the contents of the event. For purposes of this policy, supervision is defined as direct, on- site responsibility for the event. Events scheduled, organized, and supervised by campus academic and administrative departments are not subject to this policy. Only University employees acting in the course and scope of their University employment may supervise a departmental event. For purposes of this policy, departmental events include social gatherings of students from that department in departmental facilities for which no formal permission for use has been sought.

Use of campus facilities by non-departmental users for events not defined as Major Events is subject to the requirements of sections 210-225 of the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies and this policy, the provisions of this policy will govern for Major Events.

References to the Center for Student Leadership in the Berkeley Campus Regulations section 221, 223, 331, 343, 344 and 346 hereby refer to ASUC Event Services.

Why We Have This Policy

This policy has been developed to promote the efficient and orderly use of campus property. Campus property (which includes both facilities and grounds) is intended to further the University of California’s mission of education, research, and public service. Priority for the use of campus property will be given to academic and administrative departments of the University of California. Subject tothe requirements of this policy, and to campus regulations and policies applicable to specific facilities, campus facilities may be made available for use by non-departmental users provided those facilities are not needed by the campus at that time and use by the non-departmental users does not disrupt campus business or activities.

This policy operates in conjunction with specific deadlines, policies, and regulations for each campus facility, including the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing Policy, as well as the Campus Event Planning Timeline (Appendix B). Facility reservation deadlines and other procedural details may vary among campus facilities. Therefore, the event coordinator for the requested venue must be consulted before the event to obtain specific details concerning reservation and event procedures.

Procedures

Procedures Applicable to All Non-Departmental Users of Campus Facilities

  1. Agreements or contracts a non-departmental user enters into with third parties related to the Major Event are signed at the risk and liability of the non-departmental user. Non-departmental users are liable for all costs related to the Major Event. This includes, but is not limited to, facility fees, basic security costs (as described in the section on Security Procedures for All Major Events below), and any damages that occur as a result of the Major Event. Individual non-departmental users may be held personally liable for costs related to the Major Event.
  2. All Major Event attendees may be subject to search for contraband, weapons, drugs, alcohol, and other illegal or prohibited materials to provide for the safety of event participants. Participants will be notified through clearly posted signs at the event entrance if they will be subject to a search.
  3. The maximum room capacity for all campus facilities is established by the Campus Fire Marshal. The facility’s event coordinator may reduce capacity further in accordance with staff availability and other considerations.
  4. The possession and/or consumption of alcohol at all campus events is prohibited unless service is provided by an ABC-licensed supplier under contract, and the ABC-licensed supplier provides the Regents of the University of California with proof of liquor liability insurance coverage for at least $1 million. A campus alcohol permit issued through the UCPD is also required. Under no circumstances will an individual under the age of 21 be served alcohol. If alcohol is served at an event, at least 20% of all beverages must be nonalcoholic and food must be provided throughout the event. Non-alcoholic beverages must be prominently displayed and served in the same place as alcoholic drinks.
  5. The use and/or possession of illegal drugs are prohibited at all campus events.
  6. To the degree an academic or administrative department authorizes use of facilities under its control for events sponsored by a non-departmental user, the department may be required to reimburse security costs and other costs incurred by other campus units.
  7. Failure to comply with campus regulations and policies pertaining to events, including deadlines in the Campus Event Planning Timeline (see Appendix B), will result in denial of the sponsor’s facility use request. Non-compliant events may be re-scheduled in a compliant manner.

Security Procedures for All Major Events

  1. If required pursuant to the criteria set forth in Appendix A, UCPD will conduct a security assessment based on information provided on the Event Security Assessment Form and such other information as UCPD may obtain.
  2. In consultation with the Office of Legal Affairs, UCPD will assess security needs based on objective and credible evidence of specific risks, and not on assessment of the viewpoints, opinions, or anticipated expression of event speakers, sponsors, participants, community, or performers. Permissible factors for consideration include but are not limited to: (a) the proposed location of the event, (b) the estimated number of participants, (c) the time of day the Major Event is to take place, (d) the date and day of the week of the Major Event, (e) the proximity of the Major Event to other activities or locations that may interfere, obstruct, or lessen the effectiveness of the security measures being implemented, (f) the resources needed to secure the Major Event, (g) the anticipated weather conditions, (h) the estimated duration of the Major Event, and (i) any similar content-neutral considerations relevant to assessment of security needs.
  3. UCPD will make security recommendations that, in UCPD’s professional judgment, will address security threats identified as a result of the evaluation conducted pursuant to Paragraph B above. The goals of UCPD’s security recommendations will be to:
    1. Minimize risks to the health and safety of the event participants and audience;
    2. Minimize risks to the campus and surrounding community;
    3. Maximize the ability of the event organizers to successfully hold the Major Event; and
    4. Protect the exercise of rights of free expression by the event organizers, participants, and community.

Recommended security measures may include, but are not limited to: adjusting the venue, date, and/or time of the event; providing additional law enforcement; imposing controls or security checkpoints; and creating buffer zones around the venue.

  1. If UCPD determines the Major Event has substantial security needs, the host organization must schedule a security assessment meeting with UCPD no later than five weeks prior to the Major Event date. The meeting may include, as necessary, the following: a staff member from ASUC Student Union Event Services; the facility manager or designee; and one or more student organization signatories or other representatives from the sponsoring organization. The individuals serving as first contacts or signatories will attend the meeting and be available for consultation throughout the event-planning period. UCPD will present security concerns and recommendations at the security assessment meeting, and meeting participants will discuss options for addressing security needs that UCPD has identified.
  2. If UCPD determines that, because of new information it has received or changing circumstances, its security assessment must be modified, it will schedule additional meetings or communications with the event organizers and other appropriate stakeholders to discuss its revised recommendations.
  3. Should the Major Event organizers and UCPD be unable to agree on implementation of security measures or recommendations, the Major Event organizers may submit an appeal to the Chancellor or theChancellor’s designee for final determination. If the Chancellor assigns a designee, the designee must be an Associate Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Associate Vice Chancellor or Assistant Vice Chancellor who was not involved in the planning or review of the Major Event. The Chancellor or Chancellor’s designee may determine the security measures required for the event based on UCPD’s security assessment. The goals of that determination will be to:
    1. Minimize any identified threat to health and safety of the event participants and audience;
    2. Minimize any identified threat to the campus and surrounding community;
    3. Maximize the ability of the Major Event sponsors to successfully hold the event; and
    4. Protect the exercise of rights of free expression by the event sponsors, participants, and community.

Implemented security measures may include, but are not limited to: adjusting the venue, date, and time of the event; providing additional law enforcement; imposing controls or security checkpoints; and creating buffer zones around the venue. The Chancellor or Chancellor’s designee will provide the Major Event organizers a written explanation of the reasons for his or her final decision.

  1. If during an event an imminent threat to safety or property arises, avoidance or minimization of which requires termination of the event, authority to terminate the event rests with the senior civilian administrator designated to oversee law enforcement operations. If no senior administrator is present or available, authority is delegated to the highest-ranking UCPD officer at the event.
  2. The event organizers must agree to reimburse costs of basic event security provided by UCPD. Basic event security consists of UCPD presence (required at some facilities) and related costs necessary to carry out an event in the absence of any expected disturbance. The cost of extraordinary security necessary to protect the larger community is borne by the campus.

The campus will maintain a website listing the security fees that will be charged to a non-departmental user that reserves a given venue for a Major Event. That same schedule of fees will apply to any event organized by a Registered Student Organization, even if it is not a Major Event. That information is published at https://deanofstudents.berkeley.edu/content/procedures-non-departmental-users-request- access-campus-facilities. Fee waivers will not be given.

If an event organizer or a speaker or performer requests additional security measures not required by the campus, the campus will not pay the costs associated with those security measures.

If the campus requires additional security beyond what the published schedule anticipates, the campus will bear all costs associated with that additional security. Additional security fees will not be charged to event sponsors based on concerns that the content of the event or the viewpoints, opinions, or anticipated expression of the sponsors, event performers, or others participating in the event might provoke disturbances or response costs required by such disturbances.

Student Organization Major Events

For purposes of this policy, student organization Major Events include any Major Event sponsored or co-sponsored by a non-departmental user that is a University-recognized student organization, including the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), the Graduate Assembly (GA), Registered Student Organizations, Sponsored Student Organizations, and Affiliated Student Organizations.

The following procedures must be followed for student organization Major Events:

  1. One student signatory of a currently registered or sponsored organization seeking to use campus property to hold an event must:
    1. Review the Event Registration Form on-line.
    2. Request a reservation for the event’s desired location no later than six weeks prior to the event. If security arrangements and other preparations cannot be made in compliance with this time frame, the event may not be approved for the date and time requested. A selected list of campus venues and contacts can be found in Appendix C.
    3. Facility policies vary by location. Contact the venue’s event coordinator, the Classroom Scheduling Office, or the ASUC Student Union Event Services Office for details and requirements. A preliminary reservation does not constitute approval of the use of the venue at the proposed date and time.
    4. Six weeks or more prior to the event, complete and submit the Event Registration Form following the on-line instructions.
    5. Six weeks or more prior to the event, submit an Event Security Assessment Form to the UCPD.
    6. Meet with the assigned ASUC Event Services coordinator to review Major Event details at least five weeks prior to the event.
    7. If the student organization wishes to publicize the event, submit a set of any initial publicity materials to the LEAD Center at eventreview@berkeley.edu prior to publication and at least two weeks before the event. The LEAD Center may review publicity materials only to verify that event details (such as date, time, and location) are accurate. After the initial set of publicity materials has been submitted and reviewed, the student organization may distribute other publicity materials so long as they contain the same accurate event details (such as date, time, and location) as the initial set of materials. The student organization must provide a copy of any such additional publicity materials to the LEAD Center at eventreview@berkeley.edu within 24 hours after the materials are distributed.
    8. Insurance must be secured at least one week prior to the event. At least two weeks prior to the event, contact Campus Connexions (http://ucberk.campusconnexionsuc.com/student-campus- groups/registered-student-organization/event-liability.html) to arrange for insurance. If insurance through Campus Connexions is not approved for the event, the event cannot proceed unless the RSO is able to obtain substantially identical insurance coverage to that provided through Campus Connexions.
    9. Comply with all requirements as established in other policies administered by ASUC Student Union Event Services, the LEAD Center, UCPD, Risk Services, Classroom Scheduling, or the facility’s event coordinator. A variety of permits and/or waivers may be required.
    10. Events must end no later than 2:00 a.m. or at a time determined by the campus administration based on the UCPD security assessment, or as prescribed by specific facility policies, campus policies, and City of Berkeley ordinances. Additional charges may be applicable to extend events beyond specific building hours.
  1. If needed, the ASUC Student Union Event Services coordinator will schedule a Major Event coordination meeting with Major Event organizers to exchange information and discuss logistical expectations. The Major Event coordination meeting will usually occur four weeks prior to the event. The ASUC Student Union Event Services coordinator may request an additional meeting to ensure that all instructions agreed to at the Major Event coordination meeting have been carried out.
  2. Three weeks prior to a Major Event, the UCPD chief or designee may inform a group including the Government & Community Relations Office and representatives from the Berkeley Police Department, the City Manager's office, and the Telegraph Business Improvement District (T.B.I.D.), or their designees, about the Major Event. The UCPD chief or any member of this group may request additional meetings in advance of the Major Event to discuss concerns.

Events Staged by Non-Departmental Users Other than Student Organizations

All other non-departmental users of campus facilities must follow the procedures established in the campus policy on Facility Use Permits. The University reserves the right to require that events co- sponsored by student organizations and other non-departmental users comply with the campus policy on Facility Use Permits.

Events hosted by non-student, non-departmental users that meet the definition of a Major Event must

  1. contact the Major Event’s desired location no later than six weeks prior to the date of the event and
  2. submit an Event Security Assessment Form to the UCPD no later than six weeks prior to the date of the event.

The following is a summary of the Facility Use Permit policy. Nothing in this summary supersedes the requirements of the Facility Use Policy:

Facility Use Permits for use of University property by non-departmental users are handled by the campus academic or administrative department overseeing the property. A selected list of campus venues and contacts can be found in Appendix C. The authority to approve use of a campus venue to non-departmental users is delegated to the highest-level administrative official of each campus department and applies only if these guidelines are followed:

  1. The Facility Use Permit form is used. The completed and signed Facility Use Permit is retained by the department for five years after its expiration.
  2. A Certificate of Insurance is received from the non-departmental user naming “THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA” as an additional insured with General Liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. The event cannot proceed unless the Certificate is provided to the University by the deadline specified by the campus department in charge of the venue. If the non-departmental user does not have event insurance, the non- departmental user may purchase coverage by going to Campus Connexions at http://ucberk.campusconnexionsuc.com/student-insurance/tenant-user-liability-insurance.html. Depending on the risks associated with the event, non-departmental users may be required to provide higher amounts of insurance, additional types of insurance, or both.

Please consult the full Facility Use Permits policy for more information.

Upon receipt of a Facility Use Permit for an event that may qualify as a Major Event, the academic or administrative department responsible for the venue will advise the nondepartmental user to submit an Event Security Assessment Form to the UCPD.

Dances

For purposes of this policy, a dance is any social gathering whose primary purpose is the promotion of free movement to amplified music in an unobstructed area at a campus property. This does not include events at which performers are the only people dancing.

The following additional requirements apply to dances:

  1. Only UC Berkeley students with valid student identification cards and their accompanied guest(s) may attend a dance at a campus location. All event attendees are required to show a college or state-issued photo identification. Non-University of California students under 18 years of age will not be admitted. A maximum of two guests per UC Berkeley student are allowed, and all guests must accompany the UC Berkeley student.
  2. Conferences held on campus may include a dance for attendees, who may or may not be UC Berkeley students. Only conference attendees and one guest may attend such dances, regardless of University affiliation. The conference organizers must distribute tickets in advance.
  3. Advance ticketing is required for dances. Tickets may be sold at the door up to one hour after the event begins.
  4. The number of tickets sold or distributed cannot exceed the number of guests approved for the dance or the room capacity.
  5. Tickets must be sequentially numbered.
  6. Tickets will state that a college or state-issued identification is required for entrance to the event.
  7. Online ticket sales may be conducted by utilizing a LEAD Center-approved online vendor.
