Student Conduct & Regulations 23|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey 2. Interim Facilities Suspension: An Interim Facilities Suspension (e.g., from residence halls) may only be issued when, in the judgment of the Dean of Students, a student's continued presence in a specific campus facility or facilities constitutes an immediate threat of harm or safety to other persons and/or property. Under this status, unless otherwise stipulated, the student may not return to the specified facilities during the interim suspension period prior to the resolution of their case. If a hearing on the interim suspension decision is necessary, it shall commence within ten (10) business days of issuance unless extenuating circumstances exist to warrant an extension. A student respondent on interim suspension who appeals an adverse outcome shall remain on interim suspension until his/her appeal is fully heard. 3. A student may challenge the issuance of an Interim Suspension or Interim Facilities Suspension to show cause as to why their presence on university premises and/or events does not constitute a danger or threat. a. To request a review of an interim suspension, a student must fully complete and submit the Interim Suspension Appeal Form within three (3) days of issuance found at https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?KutztownUniv&layout_id=8. b. An appeal to an interim suspension will be conducted by the Vice President for Enrollment Management & Student Affairs within ten (10) business days of receiving the appeal unless extenuating circumstances exist to warrant an extension and may be conducted in-person or remotely via video conference. This review is strictly related to whether an interim suspension will remain in place and/or be modified pending the outcome of the student conduct process related to the underlying conduct charges. c. If an Interim Suspension is upheld, the respondent will remain under this status until resolution of student conduct process including investigation and hearing, is completed. d. If an Interim Suspension is changed, the respondent will be eligible to return to campus. The reversal of an interim decision shall not be construed as finding that the student is not responsible of alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. 4. A temporary No Contact Directive may be issued to a student in response to an adverse health and safety situation to limit contact with a particular person(s). In most instances, no contact directives will be issued reciprocally when all parties concerned are students. A No Contact Directive will prohibit a student or by others on behalf of the student, from directly contacting a specified person(s), by any means, including in-person, written, telephone, and/or electronic communication such as texting and use of social media. A temporary Facility Restriction may also be issued in addition to or separate from, a No Contact Directive that may prohibit or limit access to university facilities including but not limited to, academic buildings or university owned or operated residence halls. Students who fail to comply with the terms of their No Contact Directive or Facility Restriction are subject to immediate disciplinary action. a. Proximity of the involved parties in public areas on campus or in university facilities such as dining areas, student life facilities, academic buildings, or sporting events at the same time does not constitute a violation of a No Contact Directive in and of itself unless intentional, direct contact or intimidation occurs. b. When the parties involved are enrolled in the same course, every effort will be made to make alternate academic arrangements with the instructor to allow both parties with the opportunity to complete course requirements. However, in some instances an alternative class or arrangement may not be available. In such situations, no contact requirements remain in effect but attendance at a shared class will not be considered a violation of the No Contact Directive.
