3. The on-duty security officer will file an Incident Report.

If an incident involving any of the crimes listed in section IV.G.2 of this plan occurs, a report is to be filed with the Director of Public Safety.

In the event of a report of a serious crime which is judged to present a possible risk to other students or employees, timely campus notices will be posted by the Office of Public Safety.

II. Relationship with Police & Emergency Services:

1. All campuses of Wilmington University can reach Police and Emergency Services by dialing 911.

III. The University encourages victims and witnesses to immediately and accurately report all criminal activity or emergencies to a Campus Security Authority: Public Safety Officer, Site Manager, Administrative Assistant or Office Assistant.

1. A site security authority will assist in notifying proper law enforcement authorities. Timely and accurate reporting is especially important in any case involving a sex offense, as the proper preservation of evidence is important to a successful prosecution.

*Wilmington University has no residence halls

Note: The above statistics reflect crimes and arrests which occurred within a three block radius of the building, and were reported to the Wilmington Police Department. ** Accurate information regarding aggravated assaults which may have been reported directly to off-campus law enforcement agencies was not reasonably available to campus officials. None of the crimes reported occurred on University property. At present, Wilmington University has no procedures in place that serve to formally instruct victims or witnesses to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis.

V. Victim Support Service

1. Contact numbers for counseling, mental health, and other support services for crime victims are listed in the Wilmington University Student Handbook. At present, Wilmington University has no procedures in place that encourage pastoral counselors and professional counselors, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of any procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis.
2. In any case involving an alleged sex offense, a victim who does not wish to remain in his/her present class section may be granted a transfer to any other reasonably available class section.

VI. Campus Disciplinary Procedures

1. The Wilmington University Code of Conduct and campus disciplinary procedures are set forth in detail in the Wilmington University Student Handbook (Code of Conduct may be revised without notification by Wilmington University).
2. The accused may be accompanied by an advisor of his own choosing. The advisor acts in that capacity alone and may not speak for the accused as would legal counsel. In any case involving an alleged sex offense, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunity to have an advisor present.
3. In any case of disciplinary action involving an alleged sex offense, both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the final determination with respect to the alleged offense and any sanction which is imposed against the accused.
4. Campus disciplinary sanctions may range from disciplinary probation through dismissal from the University.
5. Wilmington University is committed to the creation of a wholesome, drug-free environment conducive to learning. In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690, 102 Stat. 4181), the University prohibits the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance in its facilities or on its campuses. Any employee convicted of violating a criminal drug law while on University property must follow procedures and requirements outlined in the Faculty and Staff Handbook.
