Emergency Removal Policy

Emergency Removal Policy

For matters alleging sex discrimination and sex-based harassment, the College retains the authority to remove a respondent from the College’s program or activity on an emergency basis, where the College:

1. undertakes an individualized safety and risk analysis; and
    
2. determines that an immediate and serious threat to the health or safety of a complainant or any student, employee, or other individual arising from the allegations of sex discrimination or sex-based harassment warrants removal; and
    
3. the College provides the respondent with notice of, and an opportunity to challenge, the decision immediately following the removal.
    

A respondent may challenge an emergency removal decision by notifying the Title IX Coordinator in writing. The College will designate an impartial individual, not otherwise involved in the matter, to consider the challenge to the removal and determine if the emergency removal was warranted.
