Section V: Emergency Removal from the University

1. The President may impose an immediate emergency removal against the student before the resolution of an alleged violation of the Code. An emergency removal can only be issued after the student has been sent a Notice of Conference for alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct and shall remain in effect until the resolution of the allegations by a finding of non-responsibility, acceptance of responsibility, informal resolution, or a hearing decision.
2. This emergency removal includes the immediate exclusion from the institution and all the institution’s campuses, sites, locations, and property (including University-owned, leased, and/or managed housing) of a student for an interim period whenever the President determines that this is required to:
   1. Ensure the safety and well-being of members of the institution’s community;
   2. Protect institutional property;
   3. Prevent the student from posing an ongoing disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations of the institution; or
   4. Protect any student from discrimination, including sexual harassment or retaliation for reporting discrimination, including sexual harassment.
3. When an emergency removal is imposed, the student shall be denied access to the institution, including in-person and online classes and all other institutional activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible, as the President may determine to be appropriate.
   1. During the period of the emergency removal from the institution, the student may not come onto institutional property for any reason other than to meet with the appropriate University officials regarding the resolution of the emergency removal and the allegation of a student conduct violation.
   2. Upon written request via email by the student to the Assistant Dean, the Assistant Dean shall forward the request to the President, who, after consultation with and approval from the Office of the Provost, may permit the student to participate in online classes that do not include entering onto institutional property and provide adequate protections to prevent any of the conditions of Section B(1), (2), (3) or (4), from occurring.
4. Hearing on the Emergency Removal
   1. Any student removed shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing on the emergency removal no later than fourteen (14) Working Days following the removal being issued, unless the student agrees to delay the hearing to a later time.
   2. Any student wishing to contest the emergency removal must submit a written request via email to the Assistant Dean within five (5) Working Days of the removal being issued. Upon receipt of the request, the Assistant Dean shall forward the request to the Hearing Administrator.
   3. The Notice of Emergency Removal Hearing (the “Notice of Emergency Removal Hearing”), which includes the date, time, and location of the hearing, shall be uploaded to a secure online platform. Following this upload, the student shall be notified via the preferred email address listed in MyNevada that the Notice of Emergency Removal Hearing is available for review.
   4. A Hearing Officer shall hold the hearing under the hearing procedures of the Code, as applicable.
   5. Within five (5) Working Days of the hearing's conclusion, the Hearing Officer shall submit their written recommendation via email to the President and copy the Assistant Dean.
   6. Within five (5) Working Days of receiving the recommendation, the President shall render a final decision, which shall be provided to the Assistant Dean via email. Upon receipt of the President's decision, the Assistant Dean shall communicate the President’s final decision in writing to the student within five (5) Working Days.
   7. The President’s decision upon the Hearing Officer’s recommendation shall be final.
   8. The deadlines under this section cannot be extended.

The emergency removal does not replace the regular disciplinary process, which shall proceed pursuant to the Code.
