What are interim measures?
Interim measures are not punitive. They are conditions and/or restrictions that may be placed on a student alleged of misconduct. Interim measures are implemented to support a safe campus environment and to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
Interim measures do not represent a finding that there has been a violation of the Code. They may be in place for a specific period of time or until the case is concluded.
Examples of interim measures
- No Contact Requirements
- Notice of Prohibition
- Restriction/Loss of Privileges
- Residence Relocation
How are interim measures different than outcomes/sanctions?
Outcomes/sanctions are resolution conditions of non-academic misconduct matters. Restorative and rehabilitative education is the primary goal of outcomes/sanctions.
With Informal Resolutions, the Case Manager and the student will review appropriate outcomes together. With Formal Resolutions, the assigned outcomes/sanctions will be outlined in the Notice of Decision.
Examples of outcomes/sanctions
- Apologies
- Educational Assignments
- Community Service
- No Contact Requirements
- Restriction/Loss of Privileges
