NOTE: The Participant shall be provided such notice at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled event. If a Participant fails to attend or arrange a requested meeting, or otherwise disregards the written notice or request to meet, then a resolution may be made without his or her input.

Pursuant to KRS 164.370, the Student Conduct Officer, or his or her designee, may issue interim measures at any point after the University becomes aware of an allegation or potential incident of misconduct and determines it necessary to enact the measures to protect the University, protect any member of the University community, or to mitigate the threat of disruption of, or interference with, normal University operations. Interim measures are not a determination of responsibility for misconduct, and the measures are limited in scope and time. Interim measures may include, but are not limited to, changes in a University Housing assignment, no contact orders, property restrictions, and changes to academic or employment arrangements/schedules.

If the Student Conduct Officer, or his or her designee, determines that a student's presence is of a serious or immediate threat to the University community, then the student may be suspended and/or immediately banned from University property. A student subject to interim measures shall receive written notice explaining the University's reasons for enacting the interim measures within twenty-four (24) hours of issuance. The student shall have the right to an interim measure hearing with the Vice Provost for Student Affairs to determine whether there is substantial information to believe that the student poses a risk to the University community and that any interim measure is appropriate to mitigate that risk.

The student will receive notification of the date, time, and location of the interim measure hearing, which shall occur within three (3) business days of issuance of the written notice, unless the student chooses to waive the hearing. If the student waives the interim measure hearing, the student's waiver does not constitute an admission of responsibility or a waiver of any other student rights. The student shall have the right to be represented by counsel at the interim measure hearing, at the student's own expense. If the student elects to be represented by counsel, the student should provide prior notice to the University through the Student Conduct Officer.

It should be noted that measures necessary to effectuate a judicial order shall not be subject to an interim measure hearing.

The Student Conduct Officer will review the results of the investigation to determine if the alleged behavior meets the elements for a violation of the Behavioral Code of Conduct and the seriousness of the alleged violation. If the investigation clears the Respondent of responsibility for an alleged violation, or if there is insufficient information, then charges against the Respondent may be dismissed. If the investigation discovers additional evidence that indicates a new or different violation of the Behavioral Code of Conduct, then charges may be added and/or amended. Charges and/or circumstances that are not serious enough to result in the Respondent's dismissal or suspension from the University or University Housing shall be resolved by the Student Conduct Officer. Charges and/or circumstances that are serious enough such that a finding of responsibility could result in the student's dismissal or suspension from the University or University Housing shall be referred to the All-University Court for an adjudication.
