POLICY
A. It shall be the responsibility of facilities managers to insure
University facilities are used in such a manner as to substantially
comply with these policies and procedures.
B. In all cases where the University is not the sponsoring agency,
organizations sponsoring activities involving the presentation of music
wherein the entertainment charge is equal to or exceeds $1,000, the
sponsoring agency shall be required to pay in advance of the concert the
"per concert" fee as determined by the facility's manager after
considering the ticket price and projected attendance at the concert and
the music to be played.
C. A list of music to be performed will be submitted to the facility
manager at least 30 (thirty) days in advance of any concert wherein the
entertainment cost exceeds $1,000. This list should include the title,
composer, arranger and identity of the music license holder.
D. All areas within a facility not used during a concert shall be cordoned
off.

Facilities managers should maintain a list of all music performed at
concerts together with the composer and arranger of said music.
F. At the conclusion of each concert for which the entertainment cost is
$1,000 or more, the facility manager will see to it that a list of the
music performed required by Section E above, together with the
computation of the license fee, is forwarded to the controller. The
controller will issue checks covering the concert fee to the appropriate
licensing company.
