Summary
The Restricted Access to McMaster Property (RAMP) Policy aims to ensure the health, safety, and security of the McMaster University community by establishing a process for issuing Persona Non Grata (PNG) declarations. This Policy applies to all individuals on University property, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. A PNG declaration can restrict a person’s access to university property and official off-campus events if they pose a threat to safety or security. The Policy outlines the procedures for issuing these declarations, including immediate temporary declarations in urgent situations and the criteria for determining the duration and scope of the restrictions.
The intended audience for this Policy includes students, faculty members, staff, and external groups who may interact with McMaster University. Key requirements of the Policy include the creation of incident reports for any occurrences that threaten safety, the assessment of potential risks by relevant University departments, and the issuance of PNG declarations by authorized decision-makers. The Policy also provides guidelines for appealing a PNG declaration and ensures that all declarations are communicated and enforced appropriately to maintain a safe campus environment.
