Any member of the University community may file charges against a student for violence and sexual misconduct. Charges shall be prepared in writing and directed to the Director of Student Life, 342-5230, SUB 213. Detailed filing and hearing procedures and regulations are listed in the student handbook. The complainant and the accused have the right to be assisted by any advisor they choose, at their own expense, and to have that advisor present during the hearing. The University Police Department works in conjunction with the University of Louisiana at Monroe Housing Office to enhance existing programs and procedures and to develop new concepts to promote the greatest possible safety and security of the residence halls and their residents.
Every effort is made to ensure that all residence halls are free from uninvited persons.
Residents are encouraged to take an active part in ensuring strangers are reported to the appropriate authorities and that the security of doors and windows are maintained at all times. Hall staff and residents are encouraged to challenge strangers in the residence Halls and to report incidents immediately. Visitation hours vary for each of the residence halls at the University. After visitation hours, University Police Department personnel check all access doors on closed corridor halls at least twice between midnight and 7 a.m. each day. Outer corridor residence halls are routinely patrolled by University Police personnel after visiting hours.
