University Student Handbook

Interim Suspension/Show Cause

An interim suspension and/or loss of privileges may be imposed upon a student or student organization. The Dean may suspend a student or student organization for an interim period pending student conduct proceedings or medical evaluation. The University shall give the accused student a “show cause” to provide the student with the opportunity to demonstrate why the interim action should not take place or remain in effect. Such an interim suspension and/or loss of privileges, including removal from housing, is to become immediately effective without prior notice, whenever there is evidence that the continued presence of the student or student organization on the University campus poses a substantial threat to himself or herself or to others or to the stability and continuance of normal University functions.
