To ensure proper procedure and documentation for the issuance and distribution of Persona Non Grata Notification (PNG) forms and their enforcement

Individuals who cannot substantiate their University affiliation and/or are using University facilities in a manner inconsistent with the facilities' purpose may be asked to leave the premises. Continued use of University facilities after notification of this policy may result in the individual being declared "persona non grata" for a period of one year for all or part of University Facilities. Subsequent contact may result in an arrest for criminal trespass.

PROCEDURE

1. a) Issuing the Persona Non Grata notice
   
   1. Before an Officer assists in the issuance of a Persona Non Grata Notice, the Police Department must have or receive documentation of the use of University facilities in a manner inconsistent with the facilities' purpose on which this request is based and confirmation that the offender was previously advised of these proceedings. Appropriate documentation may include:
      
      1. Personnel records.
         
      2. Police reports.
         
      3. Disciplinary action taken by University Departments.
         
      4. Statements detailing "first person" accounts of past inappropriate use of facilities.
         
      5. Building or Department reports documenting the identity of the offender and previous warning
         
   2. A Purdue University Police Department (PUPD) officer shall meet with the complainant and the offender when feasible. The PUPD officer will assist in issuing the PNG to the offender by:
      
      1. Ensuring that complainant is a University official with authorized control over the building, facility, or area in question, and has signed the PNG form and has defined the restricted area by using on of the descriptions from the back of the PNG Notification form.
         
      2. Explaining the meaning of persona non grata status to the offender.
         
      3. Asking the offender to sign a copy of the PNG form acknowledging receipt and understanding (desired but not required).
         
      4. Signing the Persona Non Grata Notification form as witness.
         
      5. Giving the offender a copy and explaining the due process procedure. The complainant's direct supervisor shall serve as due processing agent for the University.
2. A police case report will be generated and a completed PNG form maintained by PUPD to document service of the PNG notice
   
3. On subsequent contact with an individual designated as Persona Non Grata and who is in violation of the terms of the PNG form, an Officer may arrest the offender for Criminal Trespass, as defined in Indiana Code
   
   1. If the offender is arrested, the officer will generate a new "Trespassing" case report making reference to the earlier case report while documenting the issuance of the PNG.
      
   2. If the offender is not arrested, the officer will generate an addition to the PNG case report, documenting the situation and its resolution.
      
4. PUPD will forward a copy of the case, related reports, and all completed PNG Notification forms to the original complainant and the Dean of Students Office.

University Facility(ies): any building or structure or any improved or unimproved land, or any part of any such building, structure, or land which is owned, used or occupied by Purdue University.

University Official: For the total university: the Vice Presidents of the University; the Senior Directors of Physical Facilities, and the Dean of Students, or designees.

For individual facilities: the Dean or Department Head, or designees.

Due process: If the "offender" wishes to appeal the PNG Notification form, the appeal will be heard by the University Official's immediate supervisor, or the Senior Director of Environmental Health and Public Safety. All appeals should be sent in writing, according to the instructions listed on the PNG Notification Form.

Appendix D: Remodeling, Alterations, or Improvements to University Facilities Procedure

All work that involves the physical construction, alteration or improvement to university owned, leased or occupied facilities, or any improvements to land owned or leased by the university must be performed with the full knowledge and written consent of the EVPT or Designee. This applies whether the work will be performed by university employees (either Physical Facilities or department staff), students or outside contractors.

Physical Facilities is responsible for the planning, development, maintenance and construction of all facilities of the University. It is their responsibility to prepare or supervise the preparation of estimates, drawings, plans and specifications for major and minor alteration and remodeling projects including, but not limited to: new buildings and building additions or alterations, utilities, campus land improvements, landscape design and building maintenance for all University facilities. In order to fulfill this responsibility, plans and construction for this work are managed by Physical Facilities. They will insure compatibility with established University standards, building codes, and coordinate the work of the architects, engineers, contractors and Physical Facilities construction and maintenance staff with the requirements of the departments for which the work is being planned.

All requests for new space (new buildings, additions or leases, etc.), repairs, alterations, modifications and improvements to existing space (in university facilities of leased space, etc.) that are greater than $2,500, must begin with a Request for Professional Services (RPS) sent to the Work Request Center in Physical Facilities. A Project Manager will be assigned from Physical Facilities who will guide the requesting department through the appropriate process. Services estimated to cost less than $2,500 can be ordered electronically through the Work Request Center by departmental business units.

Project requests include all modifications to existing facilities, including but not limited to equipment installation, repair or modification of building envelope and structural components, electrical systems and equipment, telecommunication wiring and equipment, lighting, security alarms, heating, ventilating and refrigeration systems, plumbing and piping systems, walls and wall finishes, doors and partitions, furniture and casework, hazardous material abatement, masonry work and grounds site improvements.

Typically project work will be performed by in-house construction and maintenance crews or contractors hired through Physical Facilities. Some departments may have their own maintenance staff to perform some aspects of the work, but the request and coordination processes remains as stated above. Physical Facilities is responsible for providing professional oversight of both the design and construction phases of all construction. In order to insure this responsibility is met, Physical Facilities will inspect all work. Any work that is found to be not installed per codes and standards will be corrected, at the expense of the entity that did the work.

The construction, alteration or improvement of any university facility is regulated by various State and Federal laws and regulations, and by procedures established by the Purdue University Board of Trustees. These regulations, in part, control the process for awarding a public works contract (Indiana Public Works statues found in IC 5-16 and the by-laws established by the Board of Trustees), the requirements for the design of the facility (State Building Codes), the means and method of conducting the work and control of the workplace environment (OSHA and IOSHA regulations), the requirements for the testing for hazardous materials and their disposal (EPA and IDEM regulations), etc. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations may expose the university to fines. In addition, the individual responsible for the violation also may be subject to fines and/or prosecution by outside agencies.

The University takes these regulations seriously, and intends to fully comply with them. To insure compliance with the requirements, Physical Facilities has been established as the entity responsible for overseeing the construction, alteration or improvement of all university facilities. They have the responsibility to employ professionally trained and certified staff to insure all work done is in compliance with the regulations.
