50.00 POLICY ON CAMPUS EMERGENCIES
(Revised October 19, 2006)
51.00 State of Emergency
See the Declaration of a State of Emergency section within
the Policy
on Safeguards, Security and Emergency Management.
Chancellors shall adopt campus emergency regulations and
procedures consistent with the provisions of Section
13.30 of these Policies.
53.10
During a state of emergency, Chancellors or their designated
representatives are empowered to impose Emergency Suspension on any student,
faculty member, or employee where such suspension would be authorized under
California Penal Code Sections 626.4 and 626.6, as interpreted by the Supreme
Court of California in Braxton v. Municipal Court (1973) 10 Cal.3d 138.
53.11
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 twenty-four 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.
53.12
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 of record.
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 campus
procedures. If an individual is found to have been unjustifiably placed on Emergency
Suspension, the University is committed to making reasonable efforts to assist
any individual who has been disadvantaged in employment or academic status by
that action.
53.121
The outcome of the appeal shall have no bearing on any
University disciplinary proceedings arising from the conduct that gave rise to
the Emergency Suspension.
53.13
Any individual placed under Emergency Suspension shall
not, during the period of suspension, enter upon specified areas of the campus
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 the campus.
53.14
Violation of any condition set forth in the Notice of
Emergency Suspension shall subject the individual to disciplinary proceedings
based upon such violation.
