Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3349 - Northeast Ohio Medical University
Chapter 3349-10 - Campus Safety
Section 3349-10-72 - Sex offender registry

(1) "Sex Offender" is a person who meets the statutory definition set forth in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code.

(2) Electronic sex offender registration and notification "ESORN" is a database that contains information regarding all registered sex offenders in the state of Ohio. "ESORN" may be found at http://www.esorn.ag.state.oh.us/secured/p1.aspx.

(1) In accordance with Section 1092(f) of The Jean Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, 20 U.S.C and further amendments, and Section 1232g of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C., the university department of public safety and security provides a link to the Ohio attorney general's electronic sex offender registration and notification "ESORN" web site on its website.

(2) All sex offenders required to register in the state of Ohio or any other state are required to notify the university of their sex offender status if they are applying for employment or admission to the university. All employees or students who become registered sex offenders are required to notify the university at the time they are first required to register with the state. Employees must notify their immediate supervisors and the department of human resources and students must notify the dean for student affairs or the dean of their respective college.

(3) Due to the nature of the university programs, environment, student populations, and patient population, registered sex offenders will not be considered for employment or admission to the university. The university department of human resources or the admissions office will query "ESORN" prior to finalizing offers of employment, faculty status or admission to its academic programs. Becoming a registered sex offender is grounds for termination of employment and dismissal from the academic programs of the university.

(4) Any employee or student charged with a sexually oriented offense as that term is defined under section 2950.01 of the Revised Code or a similar offense under the laws of any other state is required to report this information to the university immediately.
