I. Statement of Policy
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.
II. Procedure
A. Issuing the Persona Non Grata notice
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
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.
A police case report will be generated and a completed
PNG form maintained by PUPD to document service of the
PNG notice.
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.
3. 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: the Vice Presidents of the University; the
Senior Directors of Physical Facilities, and the Dean
