POLICY

It is the policy of the Western Foundation to offer Gentle House at 
discounted rates for official functions of faculty, staff, and students.
In some situations, the fee may be waived.

    PURPOSE

Gentle House is a historical home located adjacent to the Western 
campus.  It is owned and operated by the Western Foundation.  The 
house provides a setting for special activities such as receptions and 
meetings.  The Foundation functions to benefit Western Oregon University 
and works cooperatively with the University in making Gentle House 
available to the campus community.  As part of this cooperative 
agreement, the Foundation discounts and may waive fees for campus use 
of the facility.  Waivers are approved for educational use only.

University Administration must approve use of Gentle House without the 
usual (discounted) fee.

    Foundation at 8-8673 to ensure space is available.

    campus educational use.  Upon approval, a signed copy of such 
    approval (or non-approval) will be forwarded to the Office of 
    University Advancement and the requesting department.
