Student Right toKnow and Campus Security Act

Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act

In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act (the Act) 20 U.S.C. Sections 1092 (a), (e) and (f), as amended, The University of Texas Permian Basin collects specified information on campus crime statistics, campus security policies, and institutional completion of graduation rates. Pursuant to the federal law, alleged victims of violent crime are entitled to know the results of campus disciplinary proceedings concerning alleged perpetrators. UT Permian Basin reports to the campus community on crimes considered to be a threat to students and employees and reported to campus police or local police agencies. UT Permian Basin publishes and distributes an annual report of campus security policies and crime statistics to all current students and employees; provides copies of the report to applicants for enrollment or employment upon request; and submits a copy of the report to the Secretary of Education upon request. The annual campus crime statistics report references crimes which occur on property owned or controlled by UT Permian Basin and may be supplemented by listing crimes which occur off the campus in buildings or on property owned or controlled by student organizations that are registered by the institution when such statistics are available from local police departments.

UT Permian Basin annually calculates and discloses institutional completion or graduation rates for undergraduate students to all prospective and current students. (The federal requirement for calculation of a completion of graduation rate applies only to institutions of higher education that admit undergraduate students who are enrolling for the first time at an institution of higher education and have not enrolled previously at any other institution of higher education.)

UT Permian Basin publishes in the annual security report, its policy regarding sex-related offenses, including prevention programs, education programs to promote awareness of sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, administrative disciplinary procedures and sanctions for offenders, and counseling and student services for victims.

Criminal Background Checks

Certain programs require students to submit to and satisfactorily complete a criminal background check review as a condition of admission, program completion, licensure, or participation in education experiences. Students who refuse to submit to a background check or who do not pass the background check may be dismissed from their programs. The student is responsible for the costs of the criminal background check.

Gang Free Zone

Premises owned, rented or leased by UT Permian Basin, and areas within 1,000 feet of the premises are "gang-free" zones. Certain criminal offenses, including those involving gang-related crimes, will be enhanced to the next highest category of offense if committed in a gang-free zone by an individual 17 years or older. See Texas Penal Code, Section 71.028.
