New York State Education Law requires the University to establish policies, regulations, and procedures for the maintenance of public order on its campuses and properties. These provisions are set forth in a “Standards of Conduct” statement adopted by the Board of Trustees on July 15, 1970, and published in the Faculty Handbook.
The Department of Public Safety is charged with providing general public safety services at the University and takes steps to insure the maintenance of public order consistent with its mission. Peace Officer authority is outlined in the New York State Criminal Procedure Law, Article 2.10, Section 84.
