discretion of the party imposing this sanction, but it may be immediate. A student may also be prohibited from entering the residence hall/campus housing from which they were relocated or which was otherwise connected or related to the violation. The timing of such prohibition is also at the discretion of the party imposing this sanction, but it may be immediate. Further, a student may be denied, for disciplinary reasons, housing in the residence halls, in campus apartments or in fraternities or sororities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Conduct Discipline and in addition to any other sanction imposed by the Dean of Student or their other designee or the Campus Judicial Board, the housing contract of any student who either admits to or is found to have used or possessed illegal drugs in any Illinois Tech residence hall may be immediately canceled, and such student must move out of the residence hall as promptly as possible, but in any event within 72 hours.
Suspension. Suspension is a status assigned for various periods of time in which a student’s enrollment is interrupted. A suspended student may not attend day or evening classes, including classes taught on- line, or participate in student activities. A suspended student may only be present in or on property owned by Illinois Tech with written approval from the Dean of Students or their designee. A suspended student may apply for reinstatement at the end of the period of suspension. If reinstated, the student may be placed on disciplinary probation for a period of time.
Pending a hearing, the Dean of Students may issue a temporary suspension when the facts and circumstances of the allegations against them are sufficient to reasonably assume, given the academic and/or campus environment, immediate separation is required to avoid or to minimize physical, mental, or emotional pain to one or more other students, to maintain the integrity of the educational environment; an/or to maintain the safety of the campus and its community. Allegations that are sufficiently alarming include, but are not limited to, violations of the Policy on Drugs and Alcohol, Policy and Procedures on Sexual Harassment, incidents involving felony-level criminal charges, sexual misconduct and matters that poses a risk to the safety of other students, Illinois Tech property and/or the efficient administration of Illinois Tech. Imposition of temporary suspension will be based upon a review of the particular facts and circumstances and reasonable efforts, given the circumstances, will be made to meet with a student prior to such imposition so that they may present their case as to why such action should not be taken. A student may appeal the imposition of temporary suspension in writing to the Provost within three calendar days of its imposition. The student will remain on temporary suspension during the appeal, and the Provost’s decision regarding the matter will be final. If an appeal is not filed by the student within the requisite time period, the right to appeal will be deemed waived, and the decision to impose temporary suspension will stand.
Expulsion. Expulsion is the complete severance of association with Illinois Tech.
In addition to the foregoing, additional sanctions, as set forth in Article VI, Section E, may be
imposed on student organizations.
2. Conditions/Restrictions.
Any of the sanctions set forth in Section C(1), including any temporary sanction, may carry additional conditions and/or restrictions, including, but not limited to, a referral for counseling of specified type and duration as appropriate; a requirement to refrain from contact or communication -- including in person, via email, telephone, text messaging, social networking, third party, or any other method of communication - with one or more individuals; denial of use of Illinois Tech facilities; denial of parking privileges; being barred from such activities as representing Illinois Tech on any athletic team or participating or holding office in any student organization or committee; or being barred from receiving employment or scholarship aid from Illinois Tech funds.
3. Review of Sanction of Suspension or Expulsion
In any matter where the Dean of Students or the Campus Judicial Board seeks to impose a sanction of suspension or expulsion, the imposition of the sanction will automatically be stayed and the matter referred to the Provost for review. With respect to the proposed sanction, the Provost, within 21 calendar days of receipt thereof, may make any of the determinations set forth under Section D(3) below. Once the Provost’s review has been completed, the Dean of Students’ or the Campus Judicial Board’s proposed sanction, as it
