Public Property—All public property that is within the same reasonable contiguous area of the university, such as a sidewalk, a street, other thoroughfare, or parking facility, and is adjacent to a facility owned or controlled by the University if the facility is used by the University in direct support of, or in a manner related to the institution’s education purposes.
