- High Volume Social Locations
When you are on shift, it’s important to keep in mind the high volume locations on campus. This is where you should be spending a significant amount of your flight and are required to check at least once.
- Some high-volume places on campus are
- The SU (balls on weekend nights, etc.)
- GCC / Pool hall (pool hall events, Beer Nation, etc.)
- Trillium (holds the most people) / other freshman dorms (on busy nights)
- Language Houses (check at least once)
These places are not always busy on every flight, but it’s a good idea to continuously check all these spaces as the evening goes on. For instance, Trillium is often busy near the start of flight as students “pregame” and prepare for nightlife, but later it will be more empty, with those students now spending time in the Pool Hall.
- “Proximity Spaces” & Enforcing No Contact Orders
With a no-contact order, students should take all reasonable measures to avoid entering any specified proximity space if they know that the other party is present. If two people happen to be in a proximity space together, the party that entered the space most recently is required to leave. If this does not happen, Community Safety may be contacted for assistance. Direct contact between the two parties is prohibited, as is the use of a third-party to communicate. Night Owls count as a third party, and may not enforce no-contact orders. We can call the CSOs if asked, but this is the extent of our responsibility for no-contact orders.
Certain spaces on campus are proximity spaces. In these spaces, when a no-contact order is issued between two students, those students cannot be in the same space. Since every situation is different, the details of no-contact orders vary significantly based on the circumstances. A no-contact order is an order that prevents a person from making any kind of contact (physical, verbal, third-party, etc.) of any kind, be it in-person or online, with another person. No-contact orders are non-punitive and reciprocal, and can be issued by the director of Community Safety.
There is no policy or other documentation that lists the specific spaces, as proximity spaces (as well as other situation-specific details) will be provided in the document itself. However, some spaces (like dorm rooms) are always proximity spaces, while Commons is not a proximity space.
