If the dean of students, or a hearing board (or designee), is presented with credible information that:
- A student's continued presence at the university presents a clear and present danger to the health or safety of persons or property; or
- A group action allegedly threatens immediate and irreparable harm through action contrary to the constitution of any undergraduate or graduate student governing group within the judiciary's jurisdiction; or
- A regulation or administrative decision allegedly threatens immediate and irreparable harm through infringement of rights defined by this document,
The dean of students may temporarily suspend a student from the university and a hearing body may issue other interim measures as appropriate. Students issued interim measures shall face disciplinary action for the underlying conduct pursuant to the Student Rights and Responsibilities, regardless of where the conduct occurred.
Before initiating interim measures, the university will make a reasonable attempt to notify the student of the potential interim action and offer the student an opportunity to present information that they do not post a threat to persons or property and/or to consider the nature and potential extent of irreparable harm.
Students issued interim measures are able to petition for removal of interim measures at any time. Interim measures not removed via the petition process remain in place until a decision regarding the underlying conduct is issued and finalized either through acceptance by the student or conclusion of an appeal process.
