Interim Measures
STU 9.0
Policy Statement
9.1 Criteria for Interim Measures
If the Dean of Students (or designee), determines that a
student/UAO poses a continuing and significant threat to persons or
property and/or is an immediate or ongoing threat of disrupting the
academic and/or administrative operations of the University, the Dean
of Students (or their designee) may take such immediate interim
measures appropriate to the circumstances.
9.2 Interim Measures
Interim measures may include, but are not limited to:
9.2.1 Relocation
Relocating the student to another University owned or operated
housing facility or removing the student from any University owned or
operated housing facility.
9.2.2 Restricted Access
Restricting the student’s access to specific locations on
University property, such as a dining hall, recreation facility, or library.
9.2.3 Schedule Adjustment
Adjusting the student’s course schedule.
9.2.4 Participation Prohibition
Prohibiting participation in University programs, activities, and services.
9.2.5 Suspension
Temporarily suspending the student from the University, including
all classes.
All interim actions must have a predetermined interim action end date unless changed through the formal conduct resolution process. In the case of suspension from the University, the end date shall be no longer than ten (10) business days, unless the Dean of Students (or designee), in limited circumstances, determines an extension is appropriate.
9.3 Interim Process
Upon the decision of the Dean of Students (or designee), that a
student meets the criteria herein, OSCCR will follow the following
expedited procedure.
9.3.1 Notice
The student/UAO will be sent notice of the interim action
immediately upon the Dean of Students' (or designee's) decision. This
notice will be sent through University email and will be deemed
received effective upon sending. This notice will also include the
date, time, and location of the meeting with a University CRF and an
explanation of the basis for the decision. This meeting must be
scheduled within five (5) business days of the interim action.
9.3.2 Meeting with Conflict Resolution Facilitator
During this meeting, the student/UAO will be presented with the
information on which the decision was based and will be allowed to
present their understanding of the circumstances. Neither the
student/UAO nor the CRF will call or question witnesses. The
student/UAO may be accompanied by one (1) support person and the
student must sign a release of information.
9.3.3 Resolution
The CRF will determine whether or not there is a basis for
cancellation or continuation of the interim action. If the CRF
concludes it is appropriate to continue the interim action beyond the
initial schedule, the student/UAO may accept the decision or choose to
as defined in Section 6.0 Conduct Process and Resolution Procedures.
