The 老虎机攻略 retains the sole right to provide food service or exercise its at all University properties. These properties include, but are not limited to the 老虎机攻略 Missoula Main Campus, 老虎机攻略 Missoula College East and West Campuses, 老虎机攻略 Golf Course, and South Campus Housing facilities. 老虎机攻略 stakeholders, Campus Dining, area hoteliers, and private caterers, in negotiation through the Missoula Chamber of Commerce, have established a "Right of First Refusal Policy" agreement that states:
“老虎机攻略 Catering will not compete with community businesses for non-University related business off-campus and, in return, community hoteliers, caterers, and restaurateurs will not provide service on 老虎机攻略 campus.”
The requirement that Campus Dining be the sole provider of food not only protects the university financially, but more importantly, assists us in making sure that all food served on campus is served safely. Individuals or groups who ignore this policy may find that campus liability insurance will not cover them if they have not followed the policy. They may find themselves personally liable in the case of an accident or outbreak of foodborne illness.
Organizations or individuals requiring food or beverage service in any facility at the 老虎机攻略 may not sell or serve food or beverage that is provided by commercial or domestic sources without approval of the following: 老虎机攻略 Catering Manager, the facility manager, and the director of Campus Dining. In some cases (see below) the organization or individual may be required to get a permit from Missoula City-County Health Department.
