Sexual Predator or Offender: Information and Notification - Procedure 1.3000

Purpose:

To identify the relevant steps for dissemination of information to the campus community in compliance with state statute and campus safety needs.

Procedure:

1. Federal and State law requires a sexual predator or offender to register with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The FDLE is then required to notify the local law enforcement agency where the registrant resides, attends or is employed by an institution of higher education. The college will include in its written and electronic publications and notices to students and employees directions on obtaining information on sexual offenders or predators from the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for our campuses, or by calling the FDLE hotline or by visiting the FDLE website. The campus Security Office will be responsible for maintaining a registry of sexual predators and offenders attending or employed by the college.
2. Upon notification to the college that a sexual predator or offender is enrolled, planning to enroll, or employed, such notice will be directed to the Office of the President, which shall forward the notice to the Vice President, Student Success Services and the Director of Human Resources. The VPSSS will verify the identity of the individual as a student or employee or both, and will confer with the Risk Management Administrator, Chief of Security, and College Attorney as appropriate. Notice is then distributed, in the case of a student, to: Resource Officer, Registrar, Director of Student Life, and VP Ed. Programs; and, in the case of an employee, to the Director of Human Resources.
3. The Health and Safety Committee will provide a forum for broad discussion of campus safety needs and will recommend programs and workshops to be offered to students and employees.
