Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3342 - Kent State University › Chapter 3342-5 - Administrative Policies In General › Section 3342-5-12.7 - Administrative policy regarding persona non grata status for nonstudent visitors

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
			 Purpose. This administrative policy and procedure is established to provide a
			 fair and objective process by which to resolve nonstudent visitor behavior
			 deemed detrimental to the university community.
(B) Definitions.
(1) Persona non grata. For the purposes of
			 this rule, "persona non grata" means that an individual is no longer permitted
			 to be present on specified university property facilities.
(2) Nonstudent visitor. For the purposes of
			 this rule, "nonstudent visitor" means any individual who is not a student
			 subject to paragraph (C)(1) of rule
			 3342-4-02 of the Administrative
			 Code nor an employee of the university acting within the scope of his or her
			 employment.
(a) Persons who had been enrolled
			 at the university but who have graduated or transferred are classified as
			 nonstudents. Persons who have been admitted to the university either for credit
			 or noncredit, but are not currently enrolled are to be classified as
			 students.
(b) It is intended that
			 this rule provide a means for regulating the behavior of all persons, except
			 university employees acting within the scope of their employment, who are
			 present on university property and who are not subject to the jurisdiction of
			 the student conduct policy. Where doubt exists as to a person's status as a
			 student, the individual may be charged under this rule and then later referred
			 to student conduct if determined to be a student. In such instances, the notice
			 herein, shall be used as the student conduct incident report.
(3) Behavior detrimental to the
			 university community. For the purpose of this rule, "behavior detrimental to
			 the university community" includes but is not limited to actions by an
			 individual which result in offenses against persons or property, disruption of
			 university processes or programs, violation of a previous order given by a
			 university official, a continuing pattern of violation of university rules and
			 regulations after actual notice of the rules or falsification or
			 misrepresentation of self or other information to a university office or
			 official.
(4) Notice. Certain
			 university officials have been granted authorization to issue a notice of
			 persona non grata status. This notice serves to initiate the persona non grata
			 status. This notice informs the nonstudent visitor of the temporary persona non
			 grata status from all university property and facilities pending a hearing and
			 informs the nonstudent visitor of the rights and responsibilities pertaining to
			 this procedure.
(5) University
			 hearing officer means an individual appointed by the vice president of student
			 affairs to adjudicate and preside over the hearing provided for in this rule.
			 Such position holds the sole authority as to the persona non grata
			 determination as provided for in paragraph (D)(2)(c) of this rule.
