In addition to any other interim or final action which may be taken to enforce this Code, any person, whether a member of the university community or not, may be ordered to leave the university campus when the president, or such other officer or employee designated by the president to maintain order on the university campus, has reasonable grounds to believe the person is committing any act which interferes with or disrupts the lawful use of university property by others or has reasonable grounds to believe any person has entered upon the university campus for the purpose of committing such an act.

B. One or more of the following restrictions may be imposed for violation of the disciplinary regulations set forth in R7-4-102:
