been withdrawn whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that
such person has willfully disrupted the orderly operation of such

withdrawn.  The person from whom consent has been withdrawn may

employee designated by the chief administrative officer to maintain

campus or facility has been withdrawn pursuant to subdivision (a);
who has not had such consent reinstated; and who willfully and
knowingly enters or remains upon such campus or facility during the
