Misconduct & Ejection Policy

If a participant or spectator in a Campus Recreation program or facility is ejected or suspended from any facility (indoor or outdoor), program, contest, or activity, he/she is immediately ineligible for the further access or competition in any Campus Recreation program or facility until he/she is cleared by the Assistant Director (or his/her designee) responsible for the program in which the misconduct and/or ejection occurred. Further, any participant or spectator who violates University of Nebraska-Lincoln and/or Campus Recreation policies or procedures may also be suspended until he/she is cleared by the Assistant Director (or his/her designee) responsible for the program in which the misconduct occurs. A non-exhaustive list of programs, activities, and individuals covered under the policy includes:

Challenge Course, Climbing Wall, Conference Users, Contract Groups, Facility Renters, Family & Youth Program, Fitness & Wellness Services, Indoor Cycling, Informal Recreation, Injury Prevention & Care, Instructional Programs , Intramural Sports, Message Therapy, Members & Employees, Outdoor Recreation, Personal Training, Programs for Students with disabilities, Guests, Special Events , Spectators, Sports Clubs , and Visitors & Tours.

It is the participant's responsibility to schedule an appointment with the appropriate Assistant Director to review his/her behavior and subsequent eligibility to participate in any Campus Recreation program or to utilize facilities. Participant suspensions are effective after the meeting with the Assistant Director or his/her designee (i.e., self-imposed penalties are not considered). Assistant Director decisions may be appealed to the appropriate Associate Director; however, suspensions remain in force during the appeal process. Appeal beyond the Associate Director may be made to the Director, and finally to the Campus Recreation Advisory Council.
