Interim Measures
There are times when the allegation(s) of misconduct by a student, student group, or student organization are deemed to be a threat to the health, safety, or well-being of the college or neighboring community, threatens the function of the college and/or college property. When this occurs, the Dean of Student Affairs, or their designee, will carefully review the allegation(s) and decide, in their sole discretion, if immediate short-term restrictions are necessary. The immediate short-term restrictions can be, but are not limited to, removal from campus, removal from the residence hall, and/or removal from the classroom to an online/asynchronous learning experience, when this is an available option, to account for campus safety.
When Interim Measures are put in place, the student or student group will receive written notification of the Interim Measures and they must immediately comply. Students and student groups reserve the right to appeal the Interim Measure(s) to the Provost, or their designee, within two (2) business days of the notification. To appeal Interim Measures, the student or student group must submit in writing a petition with supporting information detailing why the measures should be removed or modified. A decision on the Interim Measure(s) will be made no later than five (5) business days after the receipt of the petition submission.
Interim Measures, unless altered or removed, will remain in place until the conclusion of the accountability process and supported by written notification of the removal of the measures.
Stay Away/No Contact Orders
On occasion, a matter or conflict occurs which may not require disciplinary action but intervention in the form of creating space (physical, verbal, and virtual) between individuals or individuals and a location(s). At the sole discretion of the Dean of Student Affairs, these behavioral intervention tools may be utilized for students or student groups. To learn more about these directives you can review here.
