Iowa Code r. 681-13.18 - Animals on campus
(1) All livestock
and other domesticated animals, including but not limited to fowl, cats, dogs,
cows, horses, mules, sheep, goats, swine, or reptiles, when on university
property, must be kept confined or otherwise physically constrained. Any such
animal found running at large on university grounds or found within university
facilities and not part of a university-sponsored research program or project
may be impounded. Consistent with the laws of the state of Iowa, such animals
may be turned over to a city pound or other appropriate state or university
agency.
(2) For sanitation and
safety reasons, except as provided below, animals are not permitted in
university buildings. This prohibition shall not apply to animals that are:
a. Specially trained for and under the
control of an individual with disabilities.
b. Used for teaching and research
purposes.
c. Receiving treatment at
the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center or other approved facility.
(3) Pets are permitted on the
campus in outdoor areas when properly controlled and confined and when their
presence does not jeopardize the safety or sanitation of university facilities
or grounds or the safety of individuals on the campus. In the case of pets such
as dogs, proper confinement shall consist of a cage or a leash of sufficient
strength to restrain the dog held by a person competent to govern the behavior
of the dog.
a. Any pets brought on the campus
must be properly licensed and vaccinated under the laws of Iowa, and tags
indicating such license and vaccination shall at all times be attached to the
collar of the pet.
b. In those
cases in which impoundment is necessary, the owner of the animal or its
claimant shall be personally responsible for all costs associated with
reclaiming the animal.
c. Any
person who walks an animal on public areas of the campus shall be responsible
for the control and behavior of the animal, as well as the prompt collection
and disposal of the solid waste excreted by that animal.
