Individuals may also contact police if the situation warrants it.
c. Enforcement authority of LDS Business College personnel: College employees who are responsible for campus security have no formal working relationship with or derive any authority from State or local police agencies. These employees are responsible only to seek the aid of law enforcement personnel by reporting criminal actions and emergencies and coordinating access to the campus by police agencies. It is a condition of employment that LDS Business College employees accurately and promptly report all observed criminal actions and emergencies to the appropriate police agency.

The Head Resident in each hall holds regular hall meetings which include information regarding personal safety measures and conduct. Incidents of sexual assault are referred to the Dean of Students. Victims of sex offenses will be provided information regarding the importance of preserving evidence associated with sexual assault, assistance in the notification of law enforcement officials and the availability of counseling through LDS Social Services, in addition to other needs that may be requested by victims. Students at LDS Business College who are perpetrators of sex offenses will be expelled from the College and reported to appropriate law enforcement officials.
