Observed possible violation of College policy, rules, or regulations will be referred to the Residence Life staff for follow up. Reasonable effort will be made to ensure that the student whose room or property is being searched is present. If not present, the student will be notified in writing of the search and its outcome. I am interested in learning of the room search policies that are in place at other institutions. Specifically, under what conditions would residence life or campus safety enter a student room.
Some cases have campus safety or campus police enter under probable cause.
Other campuses seem to have administrative search warrants that allow them to enter rooms. I would like some help in formulating our campus policy on this.
