Responsibilities Within the Larger Community
It should be remembered that Manhattanville has an obligation to uphold the laws of the larger community. While the activities covered by the laws of the larger community and those covered by Manhattanville’s rules may overlap, it is important to note that the community’s laws and Manhattanville’s rules operate independently and do not substitute for each other. Manhattanville may pursue enforcement of its own rules whether or not legal proceedings are underway or in process and may use information from third-party sources, such as law enforcement agencies and the courts, to determine whether College rules have been broken. Conversely, the College makes no attempt to shield members of the Manhattanville community from the law, nor does it intervene in legal proceedings against a member of the community. The College may, in its discretion, invite law enforcement authorities to the campus to conduct police business and investigation anywhere on the campus. Membership in the Manhattanville community does not exempt anyone from local, state, or federal laws, but rather imposes the additional obligation to abide by all of Manhattanville’s regulations.
Romantic and sexual relations between a student and a faculty or staff member, including voluntary and consensual relations, are prohibited.
Reports of any violent felony offenses committed on campus will be immediately referred to the Harrison Police Department by the Vice President for Student Affairs.
