Trespassing
Bard College reserves the right to escort non-community members with no legitimate purpose or those not compliant with College policies off campus. Those in violation may be subject to arrest.
Equally, students should be apprised that they may be subject to arrest for trespassing on private property in the local area if caught trespassing on lands owned by private residents, businesses, or Amtrak. If an individual fails to leave immediately after being asked to do so by an official of the College, they may be charged with trespassing.
Being a member of the community (or a guest) does not give an individual unlimited access to all areas of the College at all times of the day. An individual’s legal right to be on Bard College property or in a specific part of the campus can also be rescinded. Behaviors considered to violate this policy include, but are not limited to, the entry of, attempted entry of, or remaining in any College-owned or operated building, area of a building, or campus facility without authorization or the legal right to do so.
Additionally, non-community members found to be in violation of this policy will be asked to leave campus and may be issued a “Persona Non Grata” letter prohibiting them from campus; they may also be subject to arrest for trespassing on College Property. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action as noted in section Discipline or Dismissal of Students and Sanctions; multiple violations may result in suspension from the College. College officials include: Safety and Security, the Dean of the College, the VP of Student Affairs, the Dean of Students, the Dean of Graduate Studies, Human Resources and the VP for Administration.
