XXX. APPROVAL OF REVISION OF REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE AND ASSIGNMENT OF UNIVERSITY FACILITIES AT THE WEST LAFAYETTE CAMPUS.
Assistant Treasurer Wise had mailed to the Trustees prior to the meeting a proposed revision of Regulations Governing the Use and Assignment of University Facilities at the West Lafayette Campus. Under Section 3.C. of the current regulations, the use of University facilities in a manner which may result in financial gain to individuals or non-University organizations or groups is prohibited. He reminded Trustees that in the past Purdue has negotiated contracts with performers solely on a. fixed-fee basis for payment of services. Only the University has sponsored the performances and all financial gains or losses have accrued to the University and not to individuals, non-University organizations or groups. He said that during recent years performers have been negotiating contracts containing other than the traditional fixed-fee payment. These variations are commonly referred to as Percentage contracts or first-money, second-money contracts. Mr. Wise added that it is becoming increasingly difficult, and in many cases impossible, for the University to negotiate fixed-fee contracts with performers. He explained that under the Bylaws of The Trustees of Purdue University, the Treasurer is authorized to approve contracts between the University and outside agencies.
Mr. Wise recommended approval of the proposed change to the Regulations Governing the Use and Assignment of University Facilities at the West Lafayette Campus as follows (change underlined):
3. General
- Use of University Facilities in any manner which results in financial gain, either directly or indirectly, to individuals or non-University organizations or groups is prohibited; except for fees paid to performers or speakers. The amount and type of fees paid performers are to be approved by the Vice President and Treasurer or his representative. Recognized student organizations may use certain University Facilities for activities involving paid admissions with the approval of the Vice President and Treasurer or his representative provided that such use will not result in financial gain, either directly or indirectly, to individuals or non-University organizations. Rental fees will be charged when appropriate.
After discussion and upon proper motion duly seconded and unanimously carried, the Trustees approved the revision of Regulations Governing the Use and Assignment of University Facilities at the West Lafayette Campus in accordance with the Assistant Treasurer's recommendation.
