Sex Offender Statement

Protocol for Handling Registered Sexual Offenders

Rationale:

ORS 181.585 to 181.587 specifies how information related to registered sex offenders should be handled by community corrections personnel. A registered sex offender is defined as a person who exhibits characteristics showing a tendency to victimize or injure others and has been convicted of a sex crime listed in ORS 181.594 (2)(a) to (d), has been convicted of attempting to commit one of those crimes, or has been found guilty except for insanity of one of those crimes.

Under certain circumstances, community corrections personnel are required to engage in a notification process related to the registered sexual offender. In an effort to safeguard the health and well being of the campus community, this protocol is enacted to further specify how 澳门金沙娱乐城app will respond when notified that a registered sex offender is present on campus.

(Note: At times, community corrections personnel may notify the college that a registeredsex offender is enrolled or plans to enroll. In such cases, college staff may choose to follow and/or modify the procedure below to meet the needs of the situation.)

Protocol:

  1. When a person in the process of application to become a student is identified as a registered sex offender currently on supervision, the Parole and Probation Officer for Union County Community Corrections shall notify the 澳门金沙娱乐城app Vice President for Student Affairs (VPSA) (or his/her designee).
  2. Upon such notification, the VPSA (or his/her designee) will consult with the Parole and Probation Officer to ascertain the level of risk posed by the student to the campus community, and to develop an appropriate plan to manage such risk.   The Parole and Probation Officer is responsible for providing the college with accurate information related to risk level, and for recommending notification strategies.
  3. In developing the college’s response to the individual and the level of risk, the VPSA (or his/her designee) shall consider the following issues:
    1. The risk assessment and recommendations of the Parole and Probation Officer shall be given primary consideration.
    2. The interests of individuals in the campus community in having a safe learning, living and/or employment environment versus the privacy needs of the individual.
    3. The educational context of the student’s intended enrollment (e.g., whether the registered sex offender, currently on supervision, is required by the college to have close contact with an individual(s) in a private setting).
    4. Other factors appropriate to the individual sex offender, and the work, academic or living environment setting.

4. The student will be required to meet with the VPSA (or his/her designee) to discuss Eastern Oregon University policies and procedures. The student will be required to enter into a behavior contract with the institution. The contract will be reviewed quarterly.

5.

6. The Parole and Probation Officer shall notify the VPSA (or his/her designee) prior to the first term during which a registered sexual offender plans enrollment. The VPSA (or his/her designee) may consult as necessary to assess if modifications to the college’s intervention plan are necessary, and/or to notify parties based on changes in the student’s course schedule or college status.

  1. A copy of the Behavior Contract will be forwarded to the appropriate Parole and Probation Officer.

8. All students that enter into a Behavior Contract are bound by all institutional rules and regulations, including the Student Code of Conduct. Therefore, those who do not cooperate will be subject to disciplinary action and/or emergency action upon the University’s directive.
