TRESPASSING Individuals that are not directly escorted by a building resident will be asked to leave the building. Guests of residents, whose behavior is not appropriate for the community, may also be asked to leave by hall staff and/or University Police Services. Residents are responsible for the behavior of their guests. The university also reserves the right to deny access to residence hall buildings to non-residents at any time. Also refer to Guests/Escorts policy on page 10. VIDEOTAPING AND CAMERA USE No person may tape, audio record, take photographs of, capture images of, or otherwise view any person in a private location without the knowledge and express consent of the subject or all parties. No person may distribute or share photos or recordings of sexual activity or nudity in a private place without the knowledge and express consent of the subject or all parties. Private locations include, but are not limited to, residence hall rooms and common areas, bathrooms, lounges, and other areas where residents have a reasonable expectation of privacy. WATERBEDS Waterbeds are not allowed in university housing. WEAPONS No person shall have in their possession any gun, pistol, firearm, explosive, dangerous chemical, or other dangerous weapon or instrument (including but not limited to paintball guns, swords, long knives, etc.) on university-owned or leased property. Ammunition is not allowed in campus housing. Individuals in violation of this policy shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action including possible termination of the individuals housing contract. DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES AND SANCTIONS Housing and Residence Life, in conjunction with the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, addresses residence hall behavioral problems. Below is the typical Student Rights and Responsibilities Process: • The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities receives reports from various entities including University Police Department, Ellensburg Police Department, Housing and Residence Life staff, faculty, or other students. • All reports received are reviewed and followed up on by professional staff in the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. • If a report suggests that a student may have been responsible for violating the CWU Student Conduct Code or any other university policy, the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities will schedule a University Conduct Hearing for that student with an appropriate University Conduct Hearing Officer. • If a report suggests that a student may be in distress or in need of additional support or resources, the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities will work to connect the student with Case Management or other appropriate campus resources to assess the student’s needs and help provide the necessary assistance for the student. • The student will receive written notice with the date, time, and location of your hearing as well as information detailing the alleged date and policies that they may have been responsible for violating. • At the University Conduct Hearing, the student is given the opportunity to explain their perspective on the incident
• Improperly disposing of garbage: Students are responsible for the disposal of personal garbage. Garbage and recycling must be properly sorted and taken to the designated receptacles in or near the hall. Personal trash from resident rooms may not be put in community trash cans in the halls. • Cleaning game: Skinning, cleaning, or butchering animals is strictly prohibited in the halls or the immediate vicinity. • This policy may also include, but is not limited to, pest control; homemade tattoo and piercings; misuse of drinking fountains, sinks, showers, and toilets; failing to clean up after personal grooming; or not cleaning up after using community spaces within the hall. SCREENS AND WINDOW STOPS The university considers screens and window stops safety equipment. Removal of or damage to these items may result in disciplinary action, eviction and/or a university fine of $50. SEXUALMISCONDUCT Consistent with the university’s policies on sexual misconduct, the residence hall communities maintain a living environment that is free from sexual misconduct. An individual found in violation of this policy will be subject to informal or formal disciplinary action. A pornographic theme in community space is never appropriate. If you need to report sexual misconduct, please contact the Title IX Coordinator. SMOKING AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS In accordance with state law, smoking is prohibited in university buildings. This includes balconies, catwalks, and stairwells to residence hall rooms and public areas. Out of common courtesy and in accordance with State law, we ask that smokers refrain from smoking near entrances, windows that open, and ventilation intakes, and to properly dispose of cigarette butts in appropriate receptacles. Hookahs of any type are not allowed to be activated inside residence hall spaces. Coals, used or unused, should not be brought into the residence halls. Electronic cigarettes and vaping devices are not allowed to be used inside residence hall spaces. Chewing tobacco is not allowed in substance free residence halls. Students may establish further policies regarding distance one can smoke from the building in community living agreements. Fees can be assessed to clean drapes for those who violate smoking policy. All current Washington State law, including possession of chewing tobacco, tobacco, e-cigarettes, vaping devices, etc., is applicable at the time of instatement. SOLICITATION AND POSTING Organizations may not solicit in the halls unless it’s directly related to residence living. Approved solicitation requires prior approval by Housing and Residence Life. Organizations not related to Housing and Residence Life may have material posted provided they have been approved through the Director of Residence Life, and stamped by the Scheduling Center. Once approved, materials need to be delivered to the Residence Life Office for distribution. If students wish to post elsewhere on campus, items must be stamped and approved by the Scheduling Office in the Student Union and Recreation Center. SPORTS IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS To promote consideration of others and to protect facilities and fire safety equipment, residents may not play sports in the residence halls. This includes, but is not limited to wrestling, running, skateboarding, hover boarding, riding bicycles, and the tossing, throwing, or kicking of any items.
