(B) Interim sanctions

(1) In circumstances
involving a significant risk of substantial harm to persons or property or
serious disruption of the educational process, an interim suspension may be
imposed during the judicial process through any appeal. In such circumstances,
the provost or the provost's designee may order an interim suspension of
the student or student organization. The procedure set forth in this paragraph
does not apply if the basis for the interim suspension is conduct that may
constitute a violation under paragraph (C) or (D) of rule 3344-83-04 or
paragraph (E) of rule 3344-83-04 of the Administrative Code where the violation
involves stalking, relationship violence or domestic violence. Interim
suspensions related to those violations will be determined and reviewed through
the procedures issued by the office for institutional equity for investigating
complaints of discrimination and harassment.

(2) Within twenty-four
hours of such suspension, or as soon as possible prior to such action, the
provost or provost's designee shall cause notice of the suspension,
explaining why the suspension cannot await a hearing. The notice shall be
delivered in person whenever possible. If it is not possible to deliver the
notice in person, it should be emailed and mailed by regular and certified mail
to the last known address and university email address of the student or
student organization and to the university appeal board. The student or student
organization will be given three working days from the date the letter was sent
to submit a written response to the notice to the judicial affairs officer.
Within three working days of receipt of the response of the student or student
organization, or the date the response was due if no response was received, the
university appeal board shall review the facts and the reasons for the
suspension, and any written material submitted by the student or the student
organization, and shall make recommendations to the provost as to whether or
not the suspension under this provision should remain in effect prior to the
final determination of the case by the judicial board or SCO. Within three
working days of receipt of the recommendation, the provost or designee shall
make the final decision as to whether to affirm or revoke the suspension. If
the suspension is revoked, other interim measures may be imposed.
