LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGES

ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION B22 TOPIC: Temporary Restraining Order Policy

A. It is the responsibility of the person who obtained the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to provide the Sheriff’s Office at their location with a copy of the TRO and to notify the Sheriff’s Office at their location if he/she believes that the TRO has been violated. Once a Sheriff’s Office has been notified that a TRO may have been violated on campus, the sheriffs will respond in accordance with their established protocol for handling TROs.

B. No employee of the District shall be responsible for enforcing a TRO. Any person wishing to have a TRO enforced must do so by contacting the Sheriff’s Office if on a Los Angeles Community College District campus, or the appropriate law enforcement office with jurisdiction in the area in which the violation occurs. If a District or college administrator is approached by someone wanting to give them a copy of a TRO, the administrator should not accept the TRO and direct the individual to the Sheriff’s Office at their location.

C. The District is not responsible for ensuring that parties who are named in a restraining order are kept separated. It is the responsibility of each person named in the restraining order to abide by the terms of the restraining order. Individuals may not be excluded from the District or a college simply because he/she is named in a TRO. Furthermore, students may not be disciplined, including suspended or expelled, just because they have a restraining order against them which was initiated by either a District student or employee. A student may only be disciplined for violating the terms of the restraining order while present in a District location in accordance with the District’s Code of Conduct and Student Discipline Procedure.

D. Notwithstanding Section C, the District may try to work with the named parties in the TRO to help facilitate a separation in accordance with the terms of the TRO, such as allowing a student to enroll in another class section.
