All fines will be levied according to the Shiva Theater Offense List, which will be posted at all times in the Shiva Theater lobby, and which is available to all students upon request. However, please note, that fines are not limited to what is included on this list. The Shiva staff holds the authority to administer fines as it sees fit.
If any member of the Shiva Staff discovers a violation of a Shiva Theater policy during any rehearsal or production, he or she will notify the Shiva Theater Manager and ask a member of the production staff to correct the violation, if possible.
If the violation is a finable offense, according to the Shiva Theater Offense List or as determined by the Shiva Theater Manager, the Manager will issue a fine notice to the head of the sponsoring organization and notify the Associate Director of Campus Activities, as well as (at his or her discretion) other members of the sponsoring organization’s board and/or the direct heads of the event. A finable offense not included in the Offense List is an action or indiscretion that is potentially damaging or endangering to the people in the space, the equipment in the space, or the space itself, or is in direct violation to the insurance guidelines of the theater.
If the sponsoring organization wishes to appeal this fine, they must contact the Associate Director of Campus Activities within seven (7) days and must make a written appeal (email acceptable) to the Associate Director of Campus Activities within fourteen (14) days. The Associate Director of Campus Activities will either uphold the decision to fine for the amount indicated, uphold the decision to fine but reduce the amount of the fine, or meet with the Shiva Theater Manager for further consideration. After this appeal, or if the sponsoring organization chooses not to appeal, the amount of the fine will be transferred within seven (7) days to an account specified by the Associate Director of Campus Activities.
