3335-11-02.2 Pending criminal law suit.

(A) Whenever a criminal court exercises jurisdiction over acts which allegedly constitute a disruption by university rules, the university shall not exercise jurisdiction, except in an extraordinary case. In such a case, the university may bring the student before a hearing officer and panel to determine whether the student poses a clear and present danger of repeated or continued violation of rule 3335-11-02 of the Administrative Code. If the panel finds that such a danger exists, it shall recommend that the student's continued enrollment be dependent on the imposition of strict disciplinary probation, under such terms and conditions as the hearing officer may specify (except that the student may not be deprived of university scholarship, loan, grant-in-aid, or employment).

(B) The term of probation shall last until such time as the hearing officer finds that the danger no longer exists. This finding may be initiated by the officer or upon petition by the student.

(C) If a probation violation is alleged to have occurred, the student will be subject to an immediate hearing before a hearing officer. If found in violation of probation, the student will be temporarily suspended or dismissed from the university pending a full hearing. (B/T 5/1/86, B/T 7/11/86)

Activities

3335-11-03 Organized activities.

(A) The vice president for student affairs shall promulgate regulations governing all organized activities which are university connected and in which students or the spouses of students participate.

(B) These regulations shall include a requirement that each registered organization shall have an adviser, selected by the student organization from members of the university faculty or administrative and professional staff. In accepting responsibility the adviser agrees to maintain contact with the organization so as to be familiar with its program and personnel. In addition, the adviser shall be responsible for advising the organization as to its program and personnel, having in mind not only the objectives of the particular group but also the purposes of the university, one of which is to foster a spirit of free inquiry in a setting which provides for open-minded, objective, and critical evaluation of the ideas expressed.

3335-11-04 Eligibility of students.

(A) The vice president for student affairs shall promulgate regulations governing the eligibility of students for participation in all organized activities. (See rule 3335-11-03 of the Administrative Code.)

(B) Participation in activities as a part of regular course work shall not be construed as participation in an organized activity for the purpose of rule 3335-11-03 or 3335-11-04 of the Administrative Code.

3335-11-05 Promulgation of regulations.

Before promulgating the regulations authorized under rules 3335-11-03 and 3335-11-04 of the Administrative Code and before amending such regulations after they have been promulgated, the vice president for student affairs shall obtain the recommendation of the council on student affairs. (See rule 3335-5-48.4 of the Administrative Code.) (B/T 6/1/2001)

3335-11-06 Student use of university facilities.

(A) University facilities including outdoor space assigned to a student organization shall be used only for the usual activities of such student organizations. If a student organization desires to use such facilities for purposes other than its usual activities, it shall request permission for such use from the office of student activities.

(B) No student, group of students, or registered student organization may announce an activity involving the use of university facilities including outdoor space or may use such facilities for an activity, unless such use has first been approved and scheduled first by the office of student activities, or other office in charge of scheduling for that particular building, as delegated by the office of the university registrar in accordance with rule 3335-13-03 of the Administrative Code.
