Non-violent, Disruptive Demonstrations
In the event that a demonstration blocks access to university facilities or interferes with the operation of the University:
- Demonstrations will be asked to terminate the disruptive activity by the Executive Director of Campus Services or Executive Vice President.
- If the demonstrators persist in the disruptive activity, they will be advised that failure to discontinue the specified action within a determined length of time may result in disciplinary action including suspension or expulsion or possible intervention by the police. Except in extreme emergencies, the President will be consulted before such disciplinary actions are taken.
- Efforts should be made to secure positive identifications of demonstrators in violation to facilitate later testimony, including photographs if deemed advisable.
- After consultation with the President, the Executive Director of Campus Services will determine the need for an injunction and intervention of the police.
- If determination is made to seek the intervention of the police, the demonstrators should be informed of this decision.
