Q: How do I win an appeal for No Trespass at the University of Notre Dame?
I appealed two different years and got denied both times, it's not right when I am not going to hurt anyone there to begin with! Is there any legal alternative to appealing to them?
A:
Winning an appeal for a No Trespass order at the University of Notre Dame requires presenting strong, compelling evidence that shows you pose no threat and have valid reasons for wanting access. You should focus on demonstrating that you respect the university’s rules and that your presence aligns with the community's values. Highlight any positive relationships or contributions you have made to the university in the past.
When appealing, avoid making the same arguments that were previously denied. Instead, provide new information or address any concerns the university raised in their denial. Including character references or letters of support from trusted individuals connected to the university can also strengthen your case.
If the appeals process through the university has been exhausted, you may consider reaching out to a mediator to help facilitate a conversation with the administration. In some cases, legal action may be an option, especially if you believe the No Trespass order violates your rights. Consulting with a legal professional familiar with property rights and university policies could provide additional guidance on potential next steps.
