Here is the Lory Student Center Public Access Policy:

The Lory Student Center (LSC) is not a place of unrestricted public access. Therefore, areas of the LSC are provided for use only by students, faculty, staff, and affiliated guests who have an academic purpose or curricular use, are conducting University business, and/or are participating in an approved University activity.

The LSC does not tolerate behaviors by any person that keep others from using and enjoying its resources. For example, prohibited activities include:

• Loitering and solicitation.
• Harassment and any other behavior which might reasonably disrupt other persons.
• Behavior that compromises the health and welfare of others or causes damage to the physical facility, furniture, or equipment.
• Camping, unless permission to do so has been granted by appropriate University personnel. “Camp” means to sleep for an excessive period of time, to remain overnight, or to use sleeping equipment for the purpose of or in such ways as will permit remaining overnight, or excessive bathing, or other misuse of restrooms.

Those who interfere with the use or purpose of the LSC or the University’s mission may be asked to leave. Individuals who fail to leave the LSC upon request may be in violation of, and cited under, University Code of Conduct policies, city ordinances, and Colorado criminal statutes, and will be escorted from the campus by University Police.

__________

In practice, we will approach people who are loitering or hanging out all day and ask them if they have a purpose for being in the building.? Generally our Building Managers are successful in asking people to leave if they don’t have a purpose for being in the building and we will involve our university police if someone continues to engage in one of the prohibited activities.??

Hello,

 

Our student union, while a privately owned building, is open to the public (we have postal services, dining, and the spirit shop). We have experienced an uptick in community members hanging out all day (not there to utilize services, just hanging out, sleeping, etc.). There has also been some theft and other safety issues we’ve encountered.  We’re looking to develop some criteria for when we would ask people to leave the building, and I’m wondering if others have criteria they use in similar instances or what your protocols are for folks in your student center who are not faculty/staff, students, guests of students and staff, alumni, or parents.

 

Please share.

 

Thanks much,

Jen

Hello Jen-

This topic came up on the Big Ten directors email group recently, so I am attaching a screenshot of our general conduct policies for reference. We see this issue ebb and flow in the Ohio Union throughout the year. Our proximity to the campus border means that the local unhoused population is always close by. We don’t have a campus ordinance that addresses sleeping specifically, nor is it enumerated in our Standards of Conduct Guidelines (attached for reference). However, we do address panhandling and soliciting as a specific prohibited behavior.

I tend to agree that sleeping can be a disruption, especially in study lounges. Our approach has been to request our public safety partners address the individual. These folks are campus protection officers, not campus police. They request to see an individual’s BuckID, and if they cannot produce one, they are asked to leave. When possible we try not to put our student managers in the position of having to address individuals directly, per public safety’s request. We’ve had instances in the past where the individual has had a weapon on their person, which obviously presents a safety concern. In some cases if the individual escalates the situation or refuses to comply with the CPO, they may call OSUPD to assist. We also can have criminal trespass warnings issued for repeat individuals. Many times the public safety folks are familiar with individuals who they may have encountered in other campus facilities as well.

I learned recently that a warming station has been set-up in the off-campus area, not too far from the union, and I think that has relieved some of the traffic we might see this time of year. That facility becomes a cooling station in the summer as well.

Attached is our Access and Use policy developed with our legal counsel’s office.

 

I have also found that furniture plays a big role in this; removing comfortable furniture from low-traffic areas is an environmental deterrent for camping.
