Amended by Section 170101 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 14071), the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires individuals convicted of a sexually violent offense against minors to notify the state and each institution of higher learning at which they are employed or enrolled. The State of New Jersey must then ensure that the information reported by the individual is promptly entered into the state police data system and made available to local law enforcement agency with geographical responsibility or jurisdiction where such institution of higher education is located. The institution of higher education (IHE) is not required to request this data from the state, but the institution must issue a statement advising the campus community as to where information concerning registered sex offenders can be obtained.<\/p>\n The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, is amended to make it clear that nothing in that Act may be constructed to prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution under Section 170101 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 14071) concerning registered sex offenders. Pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Safety Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, Saint Peter\u2019s\u00a0University documents and investigates thoroughly all cases of crimes involving bodily injury to any person in which the victim is intentionally selected because of actual or perceived race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or the disability of the victim.\u00a0 Such data is collected and reported according to category of prejudice. Statistics concerning the occurrence of hate or hate crimes on campus will appear in this annual report.\u00a0 Such incidents will also appear in the Campus Crime Log, located in the office of\u00a0Campus Safety in Saint Peter Hall. Saint Peter\u2019s University takes pride in our Catholic Jesuit educational mission of fostering a learning environment that is conducive to developing our students as a \u201cwhole person\u201d. As part of this mission, students are expected to uphold and abide by certain standards of conduct as described in the Student Code of Conduct<\/a>. These policies clearly define a set of values and principles to be adhered to by our community and describe the Judicial Process and the disciplinary procedures of this University. The Judicial Process provides for a written notice of specific charges in the alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct. The Judicial Process begins with a Judicial Complaint, followed by an informal or formal hearing. Upon the completion of any hearing process, the University shall impose appropriate judicial sanctions of any student found to be in violation of the Code. By accepting admission to the University, students are expected to abide by the general conditions for community living and the Code of Conduct.
