Procedure
Individuals who believe they have been subject to any of the behaviors listed above or who observe or have knowledge of a violation of this policy must immediately report the incident: if the violence or threat is imminent, individuals should notify emergency personnel; if the violence or threat is not imminent, individuals should submit an Incident Report at nl.edu/letusknow. Anyone who threatens or displays violence on campus may be subject to immediate removal without prior notice and will be permitted to return to campus upon meeting with the Student Conduct Officer. Likewise, anyone found to have brought charges of violence by another University community member in bad faith will be considered in violation of the anti-retaliation policy. All threats of violence are considered credible and serious and will be thoroughly investigated. To the greatest extent possible, the confidentiality of an individual who reports a threat of violence will be maintained. Anyone who fails to report such threats may also be subject to disciplinary action under this policy.
