Hi all,

In light of the FLSA threshold changing in January, for those impacted, how are you addressing compression? Are you bumping up other members of your team who are already at that threshold, at all levels? https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime/rulemaking

We’re having a growing issue with guests with clipboards canvassing in our building requesting signatures to support a specific issue or doing voter registration. Our campus allows petitioning inside campus buildings as long as they make a reservation for a promotional table, but we do not permit them roaming the building and approaching…

Hi all!

Great seeing many of you in Denver. Now back to our regularly-scheduled programming… =)

We are exploring renting out our e-sports lounge to externals during slow times. We’ve got 20 gaming stations for content. Does anyone have a sample rental rate structure they would be up for sharing?

Thanks!

All,

We’ve been asked by university leadership to have a new policy to essentially require event organizers to be more planful. Does anyone have a policy to cancel events when the organizer is unresponsive? Or to deny requests for late changes? In general we ask clients to confirm details a week out, but since we?don’t print paperwork we…

Hi Laura and all!

Here are our responses…

• Do you have more than one event per day in your space?? (i.e. will you do a flip during the day)? Is there a set time that you designate between events for event set-ups? We typically have 1-2 events in our ballroom per day. It’s divisible into 3 (1 large part, 2 equal smaller parts), so we often…

We have struggled with holding our student staff accountable to wearing the required uniform. This is especially a challenge in the colder season when they want to layer up. As part of general staff expectations, they are required to wear a short sleeve polo or long-sleeve quarter zip along with pretty much whatever pants/shorts as long as…

Hi colleagues,

We’re installing laminate flooring in one of our event spaces (basically a banquet hall) and hoping for advice on ways to best protect the floor. The flooring vendor recommended we add pads to the bottom of the legs of our furniture. Certainly makes sense to prevent scratches, but seems like quite an undertaking to add hundreds…

Hello colleagues,

We were just approached by the pro-life, nonprofit external group Created Equal, which is a pro-life group who wants to bring a “jumbotron” on campus to promote their viewpoints. They want to place a reservation for one of our greenspaces, which is typical for external users especially in the fall.
