The VPSAS, or designee, may impose a temporary restraining action against a RSO, pending the outcome of a disciplinary complaint if the RSO’s continued operation or conduct threatens immediate and irreparable harm to the health or safety of persons or property.
Before deciding to take a temporary restraining action, the VPSAS will make a reasonable attempt to notify the RSO of the potential temporary restraining action and offer the RSO an opportunity to present information that it does not pose such a threat. The VPSAS shall consider the nature and potential extent of the immediate and irreparable harm and other alternatives to remedy the situation. If the VPSAS decides to take a temporary restraining action, the RSO shall be required to immediately halt or withdraw the action in question pending the resolution of the disciplinary complaint.
The temporary restraining action shall not preclude, render irrelevant or predetermine the outcome of the disciplinary complaint relating to conduct on which the temporary restraining action is based. Nor shall a temporary restraining action create a presumption that the RSO violated any policies.
The RSO subject to the temporary restraining action may petition in writing to have the restraining action removed at any time. Such a petition will be considered by the Dean of Students. Within five (5) class days after receipt of the petition, the Dean of Students shall meet with RSO officers for the sole purpose of deciding whether to continue or remove the temporary restraining action.
