(a) A no-contact order imposed on any party;

(b) University housing room change for one or more involved parties; and/or

(c) Changes in academic schedules or assignments for any party.

(2) As stated in the university's housing and dining policies, the university reserves the right to assign roommates, to change room or hall assignments, and/or to consolidate vacancies by requiring residents to move from one room to another in the event such reassignments are determined to be necessary by the university.

(3) University departments taking interim measures must coordinate with the center for community standards, which advises the parties of the interim measures and the process for challenging them. For matters involving the university's executive policy 15, which prohibits discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct, the departments must also consult with the university's office for equal opportunity regarding interim measures. Interim measures are not sanctions and do not imply or assume responsibility for a violation of the standards of conduct.
