Report on Charge S-0212,
Use of Athletic Facilities for Non-Athletic Events
Original Charge: Review and provide recommendations on policies
regarding the use of athletic facilities as rain sites or venues for non-athletic
events (such as use of the Louis Brown Athletic Center (the RAC) as a rain
site for RutgersFest and other similar University-wide events). What
athletic facilities are usually made available for non-athletic events?
How do these facilities tend to meet (or fail to meet) the needs of these
events? How do peer institutions with similar facilities share their
resources? Provide advice as to how these facilities can be best
utilized by the University community at large. This charge should
be coordinated with Dean Pamela Johnston of the Office of Student Involvement
and Ghada Endick, Director of Rutgers College Programs in the Office of
Student leadership, Involvement and Programs, who have collected information
on the use of athletic facilities at peer institutions.
