The College can act to remove a student respondent entirely or partially from its education program or activities on an emergency basis when an individualized safety and risk analysis has determined that an immediate threat to the physical health or safety of any student or other individual justifies removal. The Title IX Coordinator performs the safety and risk analysis in conjunction with Campus Safety and other College officials as appropriate, using standard objective violence risk assessment procedures. If the individualized safety and risk analysis determines that an immediate threat to the physical health or safety of any student, including the respondent, or other individual justifies removal, then the respondent will be removed. Emergency removal is not a substitute for reaching a determination as to a respondent’s responsibility for the allegations.

If a respondent is determined to be an immediate threat to the physical health or safety of an individual, the Title IX Coordinator will provide written notice of the emergency removal to the respondent. This notice will contain: (1) the date the removal is set to begin; (2) the reason for the emergency removal; (3) the consequences of non-compliance; and (4) how to appeal the decision. If the respondent disagrees with the decision to be removed from campus, the respondent may appeal the decision.

The respondent may challenge the decision by submitting an appeal to the Vice President and Dean of Students or their designee. The appeal must be in writing and may be no longer than five (5) single-spaced typed pages using size 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. The Vice President and Dean of Students or their designee will issue a determination in writing to the respondent generally within seven (7) business days. The imposition of an emergency removal does not indicate that the College has made a determination regarding the allegations.

This section does not apply to respondents who are employees. Where the respondent is an employee, they may be placed on administrative leave pursuant to the College’s policies and/or collective bargaining agreements while a Formal Investigation and Hearing Process is pending.
