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.
