U P D A T E 2 0 2 0 The Office of the Dean of Students issues Geneseo Update in conjunction with the Division of Student and Campus Life. “Update” informs students of the most current information on mandated state and federal policies and regulations, as well as policies and regulations unique to Geneseo. It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with the College’s policies. In addition to this publication, the on-line Undergraduate Bulletin 2020-2021, the on-line Guide to Graduate Studies, and the on-line Geneseo Student Handbook are important resources with which all undergraduate and graduate students should become acquainted. Contained within this publication are portions of the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act” summary, information mandated by the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, information on the bias-related crime prevention law, and numerous student life policies and procedures, including the amended Student Code of Conduct, the SUNY Geneseo Policy on Alcohol and Illicit Drugs, the SUNY Geneseo Hazing Policy, the SUNY Geneseo Academic Dishonesty Policy, SUNY Geneseo policies on sexual misconduct, as well as new Title IX policies and procedures, New York State Sex Offense Information, and Geneseo’s implementation of SUNY policy on felony convictions. This year there are also several new policies on the campus’s response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. A summary of SUNY Geneseo’s Safety and Security Policy, as well as criminal offenses reported to campus authorities or local police agencies, arrests and conduct actions or conduct referrals for liquor, drug and weapons violations, are compiled and available for all students. University Police’s “SUNY Geneseo Crime and Campus Safety – Your Right to Know” brochure is also replicated in full. This report includes statistics for the previous three calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred in the residence halls; on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by SUNY Geneseo; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. We hope that you will find this publication a useful resource tool. The information contained within is considered to be illustrative rather than exhaustive. All information is current at the time of its printing, but is subject to change without prior notice. Such changes may apply to students currently enrolled, as well as prospective students.
