All assignments of space are made on the basis of institutional needs and priorities as determined by the Office of the President, and all space is subject to reassignment based on those institutional needs.

Further assignments and reassignments of space to academic departments or other administrative units by deans and other administrative officials will be reported by the dean or administrative official to the Office of Institutional Studies for recording. The chairmen of academic departments and the directors of other administrative units are responsible for the assignment of space allocated by the dean or other administrative official to their respective academic departments or other administrative units.
