CSAIL Pet Guidelines
The CSAIL Pet guidelines are based on two premises:
- CSAIL is first and foremost a place to get work done.
- There is no reason to forbid activities that provide pleasure to some, and don't interfere with others well-being or ability to work productively.
The following guidelines were developed and approved by the CSAIL Space committee:
- Pets that are inappropriate for public environments, e.g., alligators, should not be in the building.
- If the presence of a pet affects the health of a colleague, the situation should be resolved by having the pet owner relocate to a different part of the building before the pet will be allowed into CSAIL.
- Pets should not interfere with people's ability to work by making excessive noise.
- Pets should not contribute to the degradation of our environment by soiling the floor or scratching furniture. In the event a pet does contribute to the degradation of the environment, the pet's owner is responsible for repairing any damage.
- In public areas, pets must be under the control of the person responsible for them. Dogs should be on leashes or in cages.
- In shared space, each resident of the space has veto power over the presence of a pet.
