Purpose:
The purpose of this statement is to set forth University policy with
regard to who has the authority to issue a criminal trespass order
excluding an individual from the University campus and/or permitting an
individual to come to the University campus for specifically designated
and limited purposes.
Preamble:
Occasionally, there are circumstances and/or situations that require
the exclusion of an individual from University property, either totally
or with limited exceptions. Any such formal exclusion would be
based on the provisions of K.S.A. 21-3721, which makes it a criminal
trespass for someone to enter premises when they have been ordered not
to do so.
Policy Statement:
1. The following individuals shall have the authority to issue a criminal trespass order on behalf of Wichita State University: the President, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research, the Vice President for Campus Life and University Relations, the Vice President for Administration and Finance or the Dean of Students.
2. All criminal trespass orders shall be written consistent with a format previously reviewed and approved by the Vice President and General Counsel.
3. A copy of the criminal trespass order shall be personally delivered to the individual to be excluded from the campus as soon as possible, and the information shall be retained regarding the time and place of the service of said order. Copies shall also be provided to the University Police Chief and the Vice President and General Counsel, and others as deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances.
4. The Dean of Students shall develop procedures regarding how and when a criminal trespass order will be lifted or removed.
Implementation:
This policy shall be included in the WSU Policies and Procedures
Manual and shared with appropriate constituencies of the
University.
The Vice President for Campus Life and University Relations shall have primary responsibilty for publication, dissemination and implementation of this University policy.
Effective Date:
