Procedures
I. Self-Reporting Required by Registered Offender
Nevada State University (NSU) requires that registered offenders report their offender status and additional relevant information to UNLV Police Services, which currently provides police services for NSU. Registered offenders should register in-person with UNLV Police, located at 1325 E. Harmon Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89119. Registered offenders can also contact UNLV Police via telephone (702-895-3668) to request more information regarding the registration process. Required additional information may be requested by UNLV Police. Such information may include, but is not limited to, contact information; changes in residence and employment; and the name and address of the supervising agency, if any. Failure to self-report may result in immediate removal from campus and/or disciplinary action, including sanctions authorized by this section, and being subject to arrest by UNLV Police.
II. Notification Processed and Potential Restrictions Placed on Offender
UNLV Police will notify the Dean of Students (or designee) of any Tier II or Tier III offenders (as defined in NRS 179D.115 and 116: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-179D.html#NRS179DSec113) affiliated with Nevada State University within 7 calendar days (Tier I offenders are not included because Tier I offender information is not disclosed to the public).
The Dean of Students (or designee), in consultation with UNLV Police and designated NSU staff members, will review available documentation and determine if restrictions are necessary. The offender will be required to meet with UNLV Police (and the Dean of Students at his/her discretion) to review restrictions. UNLV Police will coordinate with the offender and Dean of Students to ensure compliance and enforcement of any restrictions. Any registered offender shall refrain from participation in any activities involving minors (including any classroom or other NSU-sponsored activities). Restrictions may include but are not limited to:
A. Restriction on Enrollment: NSU may withdraw, restrict, or change student enrollment in courses, including distance education courses, in which a registered offender is enrolled based on the presence of or potential to interact with a minor, and/or other restrictions placed on the registered offender under state or federal law, as a condition of parole or probation, or by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation of Department of Public Safety.
B. Restricted Areas/Locations: NSU may restrict registered offenders from working or being present in specified areas or locations on the campus based on the presence of minors or other restrictions placed on the registered offender by NSU or pursuant to state or federal law, as a condition of parole or probation, or by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety. Such locations include, but are not limited to, any children’s programs.
C. Restriction on Employment: In accordance with the Board of Regents Code, Title 2, Chapter 6, NSU may deny, terminate, or change the duties of employment of a registered sex offender based on the presence of or potential to interact with a minor, and/or other restrictions placed on the registered offender by NSU or pursuant to state or federal law, as a condition of parole or probation, or by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety.
D. Restriction on Extracurricular or Co-curricular Activities: NSU may restrict the participation of a registered offender in extracurricular or co-curricular activities based on the presence of or potential to interact with a minor, and/or other restrictions placed on the registered offender by NSU or pursuant to state or federal law, as a condition of parole or probation, or by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety.
E. Restriction on Institutional Housing: NSU may deny or restrict a registered offender from working, visiting, or living in residence halls or other institutional facilities for housing.
F. Meeting with Institutional Designee: NSU may require registered offenders to meet with a person designated by NSU upon application, admission, enrollment, employment, and/or other presence, including but not limited to volunteers and vendors, and/or as requested or determined necessary by NSU.
III. Appeals Process
An offender who provides written notice of an objection to any restriction imposed pursuant to the institutional policy may appeal directly to the President (or designee). The appeal should identify the specific restriction(s) the individual is objecting to, reasons why the individual disagrees with the restriction(s), and any supporting documentation that would be helpful in the appeals process. Such restrictions may include, but are not limited to, the denial or revocation of admission or administrative withdrawal from classes. Pending appeal, all restrictions imposed by the institution remain in place. The President’s (or designee’s) appeal decision is considered final.
IV. Policy Applicability and Sanctions
All students, faculty, staff, and other members of the NSU campus community are subject to this policy. Individuals who violate this policy are subject to discipline up to and including termination and/or expulsion, in accordance with this section; the NSHE and/or NSU Student Code of Conduct; and/or, in the case of classified employees, the Nevada Administrative Code. Other, lesser sanctions may be imposed, depending on the circumstances.
If a student, employee, or other member of the campus community fails to self-report in accordance with this policy prior to any admission, employment, or other association with NSU, said individual will be immediately removed from campus, and/or face disciplinary action or criminal charges where and if appropriate.
