herein called campus). Such rules and regulations shall apply <strong>to</strong> and govern the conduct of<br />
students, faculty and staff, as well as visi<strong>to</strong>rs, licensees and invitees on the campus.<br />
I. No student, faculty, staff member, visi<strong>to</strong>r, licensee or invitee shall engage in activity on the<br />
campus so as <strong>to</strong> injure persons or damage property, obstruct, disrupt or forcibly interfere with<br />
the regular conduct of <strong>University</strong> functions and business on campus.<br />
Typical examples of activities that are prohibited by this Code are unauthorized congregation or<br />
assembly within or adjacent <strong>to</strong> any <strong>University</strong> buildings; the creation or broadcasting of loud or<br />
excessive noise on campus; the blocking, hindering, impeding, or interference with ingress <strong>to</strong><br />
or egress from the <strong>University</strong> properties; and such acts of force or violence resulting in injury or<br />
damage <strong>to</strong> persons or property on the campus, or shall threaten such acts of force or violence.<br />
Nothing contained in this Code is intended nor shall it be construed <strong>to</strong> limit or restrict academic<br />
freedom at the <strong>University</strong>, or the Constitutional rights and privileges of any person on campus.<br />
II. It shall be the president, or a designated representative who, after due consultation, if at all<br />
possible, shall institute action <strong>to</strong> secure compliance as outlined in Article III.<br />
III. Alleged viola<strong>to</strong>rs of the Code must specifically be warned that they are considered <strong>to</strong> be<br />
in violation of the Code. This warning is <strong>to</strong> take the form of a distribution of written copies<br />
of the Code, whenever physically possible, and a reading thereof by an administrative officer<br />
<strong>to</strong> be accompanied by a statement that a continuance of the violation may result in their<br />
ejection from the campus; in the case of students, faculty and staff members, it may also result<br />
in proceedings leading <strong>to</strong> possible suspension, expulsion, dismissal or other appropriate<br />
disciplinary action.<br />
IV. If, after being so warned, the alleged viola<strong>to</strong>rs of the Code persist in their actions, or, after<br />
a reasonable length of time, do not cease and desist the alleged violation and comply with the<br />
Code, the president, or a designated representative, shall institute action as outlined in Article<br />
V below unless sustained or repeated violation of the Code or circumstances of imminent peril<br />
<strong>to</strong> life or property leads the president, or a designated representative, <strong>to</strong> conclude, after due<br />
consultation, if at all possible, that recourse <strong>to</strong> a court order or <strong>to</strong> outside protective agencies<br />
is required. Suspension prior <strong>to</strong> or during any disciplinary procedure outlined herein may<br />
occur at the order of the president, or a designated representative, after due consultation, if<br />
at all possible, only if immediate physical harm <strong>to</strong> such persons or others or the <strong>University</strong> is<br />
threatened by their continuance at the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
