Public Notice Required

Permittee may also be required to specifically inform adjacent property users who might be inconvenienced during the event.

Sanitation and Clean-Up

A permit may be issued only after adequate waste disposal facilities have been identified and obtained by permittee. Permittee will clean the right-of-way of rubbish and debris, returning it to its pre-event condition, within two hours of the conclusion of the event. If the permittee fails to clean-up such refuse, such clean-up shall be arranged by the University and the costs charged to the permittee.

  2. The applicant fails to comply with all the terms and conditions of this article and the permit;
  3. Conditions of public emergency such as natural disaster, public calamity, riot, or similar emergencies which necessitate suspension of the permit.

Revocation of a permit may be appealed by the same process as an appeal which results from denial of a permit.

Appeal Procedure

Any applicant whose permit application has been denied or any permittee whose permit has been revoked may request a review of such decision by the Vice President for Administrative Services. This request must be in writing and received by the Vice President for Administrative Services within five business days of the notice of permit denial or revocation. Applicant may appeal the decision of the Vice President for Administrative Services to the President by filing written notice of such appeal with the President within five business days of notice of denial of the appeal by the Vice President. The President shall determine whether the denial or revocation of the permit is justified.
