OF CRIME AND HATE INCIDENTS Students are to report all incidents of crime on campus to the College Security Department by contacting the office at (570) 208-5926 or through the College switchboard at (570) 208-5900. Students who are victims of crime may file reports with the Wilkes-Barre Police at 911 and file complaints through the District Magistrates Office located at 150 South Pennsylvania Avenue, telephone (570) 825-8488. In accordance with Commonwealth Law, the College cannot file police reports or complaints with the Magistrates Office on behalf of other individuals including students. Students who observe or are a victim of hate crimes are to report any incidents to the College Security Office at (570) 208-5926 or 208-5900. A hate crime is an incident where the motivation, in part or solely, is based upon the victim's racial identity, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation. It is contrary to the Mission of King's College to tolerate any action of intimidation, prejudice or discrimination against another person. In accordance with the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, all hate crime incidents are reported on the college's annual crime statistics report. Students who are victims of all crimes off campus are strongly encouraged to report the incident to the Wilkes-Barre Police at 911 in a timely fashion and notify the College Security department at 208-5926 or 208-5900. |
