21.10. State of Emergency: The
Chancellor may, after consultation with the University President,
and where possible with student
and faculty representatives, declare a state of emergency to exist
on
the campus when:
21.10.10. Extreme conditions exist on or within the vicinity of UCSD, resulting
from natural disasters, civil disorders which pose a threat
of serious
injury to persons or damage to property, or other such seriously
disruptive events; and
21.11. Emergency
Regulations and Procedures: The Chancellor shall
adopt UCSD emergency regulations and procedures, consistent with
University-wide policies and these regulations, and upon the declaration
of a state
of emergency, shall place into effect orders appropriate to the emergency
per the following:
21.11.10. Emergency
Suspension: During a state of emergency, the Chancellor or his/her
designated representatives is empowered to impose
Emergency
Suspension on any student, faculty member or employee where there
is reasonable cause to believe:
21.11.10.11. The
individual's presence on campus will lead to violation of UCSD
emergency orders, violence, intimidation, damage to property,
or other
disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly operation of UCSD.
21.11.11. If
Emergency Suspension is imposed by a designated representative of the
Chancellor, such representative shall immediately inform
the
Chancellor and shall submit a written report on the action to the
Chancellor as soon as is reasonably possible. The report shall
contain
a description of the person suspended, including the person's name
and, if available, address and phone number, and a statement
of the
facts giving rise to the suspension. If the Chancellor does not affirm
the action of the designated representative within 24 hours
after
being informed that the suspension has been imposed, the suspension
shall be deemed void and a reasonable effort shall be made to
inform
the person who was suspended that the suspension is void.
21.11.12. Any
individual placed on Emergency Suspension shall be given written
confirmation of the suspension, either by delivering it to
the individual
personally or by mailing it to the individual's last known address.
The confirmation shall inform the individual of the procedures
by
which the validity of the Emergency Suspension can be appealed, including
the opportunity to obtain a special hearing on the Emergency
Suspension
in accordance with applicable UCSD procedures. If an individual is
found to have been unjustifiably placed on Emergency Suspension,
UCSD
and the University are committed to a policy whereby reasonable efforts
are taken to assist an individual who has been disadvantaged
in employment
or academic status. The outcome of the appeal shall have no bearing
on UCSD disciplinary proceedings arising from the conduct
which gave
rise to the emergency Suspension.
21.11.13. Any
individual placed under Emergency Suspension shall not, during the
period of suspension enter upon specified areas of UCSD
or engage
in specified activities, as set forth in the written Notice of Emergency
Suspension. The exclusion or restriction shall be limited
to the minimum
extent necessary to protect the health and safety of persons or property,
or to maintain the orderly operation of UCSD.
21.11.14. The
Chancellor may impose Emergency Suspension on a student without declaring
a state of emergency as described below;
21.11.14.10.
If Emergency Suspension is imposed by a designated representative
of the Chancellor, that representative shall immediately inform
the
Chancellor and shall submit a written report on the action to the
Chancellor as soon as it is reasonably possible. The report
shall contain a description of the person suspended, including the
person's name and, if available, address and phone number,
and a statement
of the facts giving rise to the suspension. If the Chancellor
does not affirm the action of the designated representative within
twenty-four (24) hours after being informed that the suspension
has
been imposed, the suspension shall be deemed void and a reasonable
effort shall be made to inform the person who was suspended that
the
suspension is void. Should the suspension be voided, that shall have
no bearing on UCSD disciplinary proceedings which gave rise to the
suspension. Any such disciplinary proceedings shall be conducted
after the normal procedures provided in the UCSD
Student Conduct Code.
21.11.14.11.
A student placed on Emergency Suspension, which is affirmed by the
Chancellor, shall be given written confirmation of the
suspension
either by delivering it to the student personally or by mailing it
to the student's last known address. The confirmation shall
inform the student of the conduct which gave rise to the
suspension and of the opportunity to obtain a prompt,
special hearing
on the
suspension.
21.11.14.12.
If Emergency Suspension is imposed by the Chancellor or a designated
representative of the Chancellor and is not voided pursuant
to Section
21.11.11.10. above, the student may choose to have a special hearing
by the Dean on the issue of the necessity of the Emergency Suspension.
Such a hearing shall have scheduling priority. The student may
be assisted at the hearing by a representative. The student
may present evidence that the student may have in support of the
contention that the suspension is unnecessary. The Dean is authorized to
investigate the facts which gave rise to the suspension. Within
three (3) calendar days of the conclusion of the hearing, the Dean
or other appropriate UCSD official if the suspension was imposed
by
the Dean, shall determine if the suspension is necessary. If
the Dean or other appropriate UCSD official determines that the suspension
is unnecessary, the Dean or other appropriate UCSD official is authorized
to lift the suspension. Should the suspension be lifted, that
shall have no bearing on UCSD disciplinary proceedings arising from
the conduct which gave rise to the suspension. Any such disciplinary
proceedings shall be conducted under the normal procedures provided
in the UCSD Student Conduct Code.
21.11.14.13. If
Emergency Suspension is neither voided nor lifted pursuant to Section
21.11.11. or 21.11.12.
above, the normal procedures provided in the UCSD Student Conduct Code for student discipline
cases shall be followed, except that students under Emergency Suspension shall have a scheduling priority at each step of the proceedings.
21.11.15. Violation
of any condition set forth in the Notice of Emergency Suspension shall
subject the individual to the disciplinary proceedings
based
upon such violation.
21.11.16.
