Current through Register Vol. 24-24, December 15, 2024
(1) The president
of the college, or the president's designee, has the authority to grant, deny,
or withdraw permission for people to be on college property. Any individual who
is on college property must comply with college rules. Access to college
property may be limited to certain times, certain uses, or certain groups of
people. People who are on college property or within a college building without
permission may be ordered to leave by any college official.
(2) People who remain on college property
without permission, who disrupt college activities, interfere with people's
ability to access buildings, or whose conduct threatens the health, safety, or
security of anyone on campus may be removed from college property and given a
twenty-four-hour trespass notice by the president, the president's designee, or
a member of campus security.
(3) In
the event a person's conduct continues to threaten the health, safety, or
security of anyone on campus, the president or president's designee may
trespass the person from college property for up to one year, except expelled
students may permanently be trespassed from campus. Any prior license or
privilege to be on college property is revoked by the notice of
trespass.
(4) A person who is
trespassed from college property shall be given a written notice of trespass
identifying:
(a) The reason why the person is
being trespassed;
(b) The duration
and scope of the trespass;
(c) The
method for appealing the notice; and
(d) A warning that failing to comply with the
notice may result in the person's arrest and criminal charges under chapter
9A.52 RCW.
(5) Appeals.
(a) If a current student is trespassed from
campus, the initial trespass notice is considered a summary suspension under
WAC
132R-04-064
and the student will receive an emergency appeal hearing under WAC
132R-04-064
with the conduct review officer as defined in WAC
132R-04-015(2).
The authority to bar students from college property in this regulation is
separate from and in addition to the authority of the student conduct officer
as defined in WAC
132R-04-015(1).
At the conclusion of the entire student conduct process, a student who is
expelled may be permanently trespassed from college property in accordance with
WAC
132R-04-063(11).
(b) If a current employee is
trespassed from a particular portion of campus that the employee does not need
to access to perform his or her job (e.g., ejected from DeVries Activity Center
during a basketball game), the employee can appeal the decision under (c) of
this subsection. If an employee is trespassed from all college property because
his or her conduct threatens the health, safety, or security of anyone on
campus, the employee will be considered to have been placed on paid
administrative leave by issuance of the trespass notice and the college will
follow its normal employment processes for investigating the alleged behavior
and determining what level of discipline, if any, is appropriate.
(c) All other persons who have been removed
or trespassed from university property may appeal the decision by submitting to
the president or president's designee, by certified mail, a letter stating the
reasons the person should not be barred from college property within twenty-one
days of issuance of the trespass notice. The trespass notice will remain in
effect during the pendency of any review period. The president or president's
designee shall review all relevant information and issue a written order
affirming, modifying, or revoking the trespass within twenty days after the
request for review is received. This decision is the college's final decision.
