Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
				Supportive measures. During the complaint review, the director of SRR, Title IX
				coordinator, or designee will evaluate the circumstances and determine if any
				supportive measures to assist or protect the parties during the conduct code
				process are needed. For sexual misconduct and interpersonal violence cases,
				supportive measures are available before or after the filing of a complaint or
				where no formal complaint is filed. Supportive measures are provided to
				students free of charge and may include, but are not limited to, safety
				planning with the university, mutual restrictions on contact between the
				parties, academic or workplace modifications, providing counseling for the
				complainant and/or respondent, or campus housing modifications. The purpose of
				a supportive measure is to provide an equitable process for both students that
				minimizes the possibility of a hostile environment on campus. For Title IX
				complaints, supportive measures are designed to restore or preserve equal
				access to the university's educational programs or activities without
				unreasonably burdening either party, including protecting the safety of all
				parties and the university's educational environment, or deterring sexual
				harassment. Supportive measures in cases of sexual misconduct and interpersonal
				violence are coordinated by the Title IX coordinator or designee.
(2) Interim restrictions. For Title IX
				complaints, in situations where there is cause to believe that a student or a
				student organization poses an immediate threat to the physical health or safety
				of any student or other individual, including themselves, the Title IX
				coordinator in conjunction with the director of SRR may take immediate
				action(s) against the student or student organization after conducting an
				individualized safety and risk analysis without prior notice or hearing.
Simultaneous with such action(s), the director of SRR will
				  refer the allegations to the conduct review officer, who will process such
				  allegations in accordance with the provisions of this student conduct
				  code.
For all non-Title IX cases, the director may take immediate
				  action(s) against the student or student organization after conducting an
				  individualized safety and risk analysis without prior notice or hearing.
				  Simultaneously, the director shall refer the allegations to the conduct review
				  officer. For non-Title IX cases, interim restriction is subject to the
				  following:
(a) Interim restriction
				actions may only be imposed in the following situations:
(i) When a student or student organization
				poses an immediate threat to:
(A) The physical
				health or safety of any student or any other individual;
(B) The student's own physical safety and
				well-being; or
(C) Any property of
				the university community; or
