Any violation of campus regulations or a criminal act should be
reported immediately either in person or via the phone to the
appropriate authority, either the Department of Public Safety or
the Dean of Students of the respective campus. Phone numbers
and office locations of each Dean of Students and Public Safety
office are listed below. The Public Safety Office on each
campus is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If a crime is reported by an individual while on campus, Public
Safety will dispatch an officer to the scene of the crime for a
preliminary report of the date, time and incident. If a student is
involved, the preliminary report will be referred immediately to
the Dean of Students for investigation. When appropriate,
individuals are strongly encouraged to report complaints to the
local police precinct. A priest who has a crime disclosed during
the sacrament of confession may not reveal anything that has been
disclosed in the sacrament. The priest, however, will encourage and
work with the penitent to find appropriate support services both on
and off campus. Pastoral counselors or priests who have a crime
disclosed to them outside of the sacrament of confession are
required to report the crime in accordance with this policy. Every
member of the faculty, administration and staff of St. John’s
University, acting in his or her capacity as an employee of the
University, is obligated to immediately report any incident of
sexual assault, rape or other forcible sexual offense against any
member of the University community upon learning of the incident.
Even when the individual requests confidentiality of the incident,
the employee has a responsibility to report it.
