Procedure

When there is cause to believe that such a violation has occurred or is about to occur, University staff members will use any reasonable means to terminate the violation or render the situation harmless. Whenever possible, the University staff members shall request assistance of one or more additional staff.

The University staff members will request entrance or access to the property. The staff members will attempt to persuade the student to surrender whatever evidence pertains to the violation. Upon refusal by the student to cooperate with the inspection, the room, locker, or other property will be locked or otherwise secured until such time as two or more members of University authorized staff can assist. All materials that violate University policies, local, state, or federal laws will be seized and, at the discretion of the Director of Student Experience, the proper authorities will be notified.
