H-245F Registered Sex Offender Self-Disclosure Form 20 U.S. Code Sections 1092(f)(1)(I) and 1232g(b)(7)(A) (Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act) 34 Code of Federal Regulations Part 668 Section 170101(j) Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 and 42 U.S. Code Section 14071(j) |
In accordance with the "Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act" of 2000, which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes against Children and Sexually Violent Offenders Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the College provides a link to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry in the Annual Safety and Security Report (ASR).
Sex offender Students who are required to register in a state must provide notice of conviction to the Office of Campus Safety and Security at the time of enrollment or after that upon conviction. Sex offender registry information will be used to protect Employees, Students, and minors on College Premises.
The following procedures are prescribed to assist in meeting the goal of the policy:
Mandatory self-disclosure of sex offender status at the Office of Campus Safety and Security at the time of enrollment or after that upon conviction.
Upon awareness of the enrollment of a registered sex offender, the Executive Director of Student Services/CSSO, or designee, will review the Student’s class schedule and determine if any restrictions are warranted.
If restrictions are warranted, a mandatory meeting will occur between the Student and the Executive Director of Student Services/CSSO or designee to review them. A written letter containing the Student's restrictions while on the College Premises will be issued and discussed with the Student. During this meeting, the Student will be advised that failure to comply with restrictions may result in denial of enrollment and access to the campus and the decision of the College to contact local law enforcement and probation and parole.
If a sex offender Student is enrolled in a college class along with a Student who is under the age of 18, the Executive Director of Student Services/CSSO or designee will notify the instructor of the class of the Student’s status as a sex offender.
The Executive Director of Student Services/CSSO, or designee, along with the Director of Safety, Security, and Risk Management, will also determine if other Employees or Students, including Rock University High School staff and students, need to be notified of a Student’s status as a registered offender to protect persons under the age of 18 on the College Premises.
No offender will be intimidated, harassed, or unlawfully discriminated against due to the Student’s status as a sex offender.
