Interim Chief Mark LaHue is on an approved leave of absence, according to Leslie Berger, senior director of university communications.
The absence follows allegations made by a campus police officer against LaHue accusing him of making homophobic and sexually inappropriate comments.
Berger could not confirm if the leave was in connection with the allegations against LaHue.
LaHue was named interim police chief Sept. 14 after former campus police chief Rusty Pyle and Lieutenant Michael Kavenius resigned Sept. 11.
Campus police officer Becca Ford is currently serving as the on-call supervisor, Berger said.
