Upon receipt of the report, the Institute will determine the appropriate response to the incident, which could include disciplinary action against the offender, notification to the Phoenix Police Department, notification to the DeVry Phoenix community, or other public safety alternatives that we believe to be appropriate, given the circumstances. II. FACILITY ACCESS AND SECURITY The Facilities Department maintains the building and grounds with a concern for safety and security. Members of the Department inspect the facility regularly; make repairs affecting safety, security, and hazards; and respond to reports of potential safety of security hazards, such as broken windows. Students and staff can contact the Facilities Department by calling Extension 352, or filling out a Maintenance Work Request Form and submitting it to Student Services. There are fire alarms throughout the building, which should be used in the event of an emergency. The DeVry Phoenix facility is open from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; 6:00 am to 8:00 pm Friday; 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday; and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sunday. Access to classes and labs are limited to those enrolled in the courses meeting there, or appropriate staff and faculty members. Access to activities on and off campus is limited to these students actively enrolled at DeVry Phoenix and their guests. Students are responsible for the behavior of their guests at all times during any DeVry sponsored activity. DeVry reserves the right to require that student I.D. cards be presented for admittance to locations and events, and reserves the right to request that a student present the I.D. card on campus to an appropriate official. During the times when DeVry is closed, the buildings are generally locked; however, there is an emergency procedure in place. During the times the facility is closed, the building is monitored by Honeywell Protective Services. The building is cleaned by a bonded janitorial service company. Security is provided during the hours of business operation through the Student Services Department. III. CAMPUS LAW ENFORCEMENT Students and staff are encouraged to report all on-campus crimes to the Student Services Office during the day, and to the Academic Receptionist during evening hours. Where appropriate, crimes will be reported to local law enforcement agencies. Students accused of criminal action will be treated in accordance with the Code of Conduct outlined in the DeVry Phoenix Student Handbook. IV. ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE DeVry forbids the use, possession, distribution, or sale of drugs or alcohol by students anywhere on Institute property. Students in violation of state, federal, or other local regulations with respect to illegal drugs or alcohol may be subject to both criminal prosecution and campus disciplinary action. Details of the policy may be found in the Student Handbook, or may be obtained in Student Services. V. SEXUAL OFFENSE July 1, 1993, the Sexual Assault Victim's Bill of Rights was adopted as part of the Campus Security Act. DeVry Phoenix has developed a variety of programs to prevent sexual offenses and has adopted procedures for a victim to follow when a sex offense has occurred. Sexual crime definitions: Sexual Assault: physical contact of a sexual nature, which is against one's will or without one's consent. Forcible Sexual Offense: any act directed against another person, forcible and/or against the person's will; or not forcibly or against the person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent, including forcible rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object, and forcible fondling. Non-forcible Sexual Offense: unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse, including incest and statutory rape. Rape: sexual intercourse that is coerced through force or threats of force, or with someone who is unconscious, or incapable of giving consent. DeVry encourages victims of a sexual offense to report the incident immediately in order to prevent further sexual offenses and to ensure that victims receive the services they need. Reports of a sexual offense on campus should be made immediately to the Dean of Career and Student Services or the Director of Student Services, who will act as a liaison with other departments. It is imperative to preserve any and all evidence that may be used as proof of criminal sexual offense. Assistance that may be provided to the victim(s) includes but is not limited to:
Following is a list of possible contacts that will provide immediate advice and assistance to victims of a sexual offense:
A copy of the Official Police Report will be retained for the Institute's records. All reports filed with the Institute will remain confidential. Staff and faculty should report any on-campus sexual offenses to the Human Resources Office and to the proper authorities. In cases of alleged sexual offense, both the accused and the victim are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a campus disciplinary proceeding. Furthermore, both the accuser and the accused shall be informed o the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceeding concerning alleged sexual offense. Any student found guilty of committing a sex offense, forcible or non-forcible, is subject to the disciplinary sanctions listed in the Student Handbook.
