    (a) Rental of facilities at usual and normal charge. Any 
unincorporated public educational institution exempt from federal 
taxation under 26 U.S.C. 115, such as a school, college or university, 
may make its facilities available to any candidate or political 
committee in the ordinary course of business and at the usual and normal 
charge. In this event, the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section 
are not applicable.
    (b) Use of facilities at no charge or at less than the usual and 
normal charge. An unincorporated public educational institution exempt 
from federal taxation under 26 U.S.C. 115, such as a school, college or 
university, may sponsor appearances by candidates, candidates' 
representatives or representatives of political parties at which such 
individuals address or meet the institution's academic community or the 
general public (whichever is invited) on the educational institution's 
premises at no charge or at less than the usual and normal charge, if:
    (1) The educational institution makes reasonable efforts to ensure 
that the appearances constitute speeches, question and answer sessions, 
or similar communications in an academic setting, and makes reasonable

efforts to ensure that the appearances are not conducted as campaign 
rallies or events; and
    (2) The educational institution does not, in conjunction with the 
appearance, expressly advocate the election or defeat of any clearly 
identified candidate(s) or candidates of a clearly identified political 
party, and does not favor any one candidate or political party over any 
other in allowing such appearances.
