This list must be publicly accessible no later thanSeptember 30, 2003.The under the law, information on sex offenders on campus can help persons oncampus guard against students or employees whom they know are pastoffenders. The registry also gives campus police a valuable source of informationfor investigating any sexual crimes that are committed.The law requires action to be taken by three groups of people: the sexualoffender, university personnel, and campus security and police. Cooperationamong all three of these groups is required for the law to be administeredproperly.
