Introduction to the Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act requires colleges and universities to:
- Publish an annual report by October 1 of each year, which contains three years of campus crime statistics and certain campus security policy statements.
- Disclose crime statistics for the campus, public areas immediately adjacent to the campus, and certain non‐campus facilities and remote classrooms. The statistics must be gathered from campus safety, local law enforcement, and other College officials who have “significant responsibility for student and campus activities.”
- Provide “timely warning” notices of those crimes that have occurred and “pose an ongoing threat to students and employees.”
- Disclose any crime that occurred on campus. . . or within the patrol jurisdiction of the campus safety department and is reported to the campus safety department.
- Disclose any official agreements with state and/or local law enforcement.
Jeanne Clery Act Geography
“Campus” is defined as all buildings and property owned or controlled by Bellin College within the same reasonably contiguous geographical area and used by the College in direct support of, or in a matter related to, the institution’s educational purposes. Bellin College declares the main campus Buildings as “Campus Buildings” and the surrounding land within the property lines, including any storage buildings, as “Campus Property.” “Public Property” is defined as all public property including thoroughfares, streets, and parking areas immediately adjacent to the campus.
The Security Team is required to maintain a daily crime log that records any crime that is reported to that department that occurred on campus, at a non-campus building or property, on public property adjacent to the campus, those remote locations controlled by Bellin College, and locations used at least yearly for school-sponsored trips if students stay in the same lodging every year or the institution enters an agreement with a third-party contractor for housing.

Campus Safety
Providing a safe learning environment is critical. Bellin College is committed to the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Campus safety and security is a shared responsibility between the College and its campus community members. See the Safety and Security Page for additional information.
Campus Security Authority
A Campus Security Authority (CSA) within the Bellin College organization is a person who has the responsibility to receive information about criminal activity affecting the College, and who is required to forward information about reported criminal activity to the Security Team, or to local law enforcement officials. Bellin College Campus Security Authorities include the President, Vice Presidents, Deans, Title IX Coordinator, Director of Technology, HSRC Coordinator, Security Officers, and Concierge staff.
A crime is “reported” when it is brought to the attention of a Campus Security Authority or local law enforcement personnel by a victim, witness, or other third party.
Bellin College CSAs:
| Larry Potter | Safety & Security Coordinator |
| Travis Smith | Director of Technology |
| Ben Englebert | Health Sciences Resource Center Coordinator |
| Dr. Connie Boerst | President / CEO / Professor of Nursing |
| Matt Rentmeester | Vice President of Admissions and Marketing |
| Ginger Krummen Schraven | Vice President of Business and Finance |
| Dr. Mark Bake | Dean of Allied Health Sciences & Student Services / BSRS Program Director / Associate Professor |
| Dr. Mary Rolloff | Dean of Nursing / Associate Professor of Nursing |
| Benjamin Rieth | Title IX Coordinator |
| Security Officers | Security staff |
| Concierge | Various students hired for Concierge role |
All CSAs should encourage any person who reports a crime or other incident affecting campus safety to notify a Bellin College security officer.
Powers of Campus Safety and Security Personnel
Bellin College Safety and Security personnel are not sworn law enforcement officers, though they have the authority to ask persons for personal identification and to determine whether individuals have lawful business on the Campus. Bellin College Safety and Security personnel have the authority to conduct parking control and enforcement of Campus parking rules and regulations. Safety and Security personnel do not have the power of arrest. Criminal matters are referred to local law enforcement authorities who have jurisdiction on campus. The Bellin College Security Team enjoys a professional working relationship with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, Green Bay Metro Fire Department, state law enforcement resources, and the Milwaukee FBI office, though formal memoranda of understanding are not in place. These relationships include the exchange of information for the purpose of crime prevention and crime reporting.
Security Procedures and Practices
General Access to Campus Facilities
Building exterior entrance doors are operated by a computerized electronic locking system, which is activated through a central control point. Each student, faculty, and staff member has been issued a programmable electronic door access key card. The door locking system allows key card access to certain areas and restricts access to others, depending on individual authorization. During the regular semester students have access to both locations Monday through Thursday from 7:00 am – 9:00 pm, Friday from 7:00 am – 8:00pm, and Saturday from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Additionally, the Van Asten location is open on Sundays from 10:00 am – 6 pm. The college is open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:00 am – 4:30 pm. Student access to the buildings may become more limited during the semester breaks and holidays. The college does not have campus residences.
More detailed information on upcoming building hours can be viewed here.
Students are welcome to have guests visit the campus. All guests check in and check out from the Campus at the front desks near the entrances. All guests must wear visitor badges obtained at the time of sign in.
Maintenance Access to Campus Facilities
Standard maintenance, repair, modification, and adjustment of Bellin College facilities are performed by the College’s Building & Grounds Technician. Additional, related work may be performed by outside contractors in conjunction with and coordinated by the technician and / or senior administrative staff. The following procedure is followed for such occasions:
- The contractor must sign in as a ‘guest’ at the front desks near the main entrances. All contractors must wear a visitor badge obtained at the time of sign in.
- The Concierge or Security Officer will contact the Building & Grounds Technician or senior administrative staff who will supervise related maintenance.
- When complete, the contractor will sign out at the desk.
Emergency Response, Evacuation & Timely Warning
Timely warnings and emergency responses are initiated when warranted. A timely warning will be issued for a serious or continuing threat to members of the college community, whereas emergency responses occur for significant emergencies or dangerous situations occurring on campus involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of members of the campus community.
In the event of a significant event, dangerous situation, or continued threat that could affect the health or safety of the campus community (to include crimes), the process to notify others is authorized, time permitting, by personnel in the following order: College president, president’s cabinet, and security personnel. The College will, without delay, consider the safety of the community, determine the content of the notice, and issue the notification. Discretion will be utilized if, in the judgment of the staff mentioned, releasing information would hinder the response to a situation, complicate aid to a victim, or inhibit the mitigation of the emergency. Outside of those circumstances, information will be released as soon as the immediate threat is verified and deemed dangerous. Any or all of the staff mentioned above will assist in determining, based on all credible information available, whether an immediate threat is present. Available information sources, including media, community, and local, state, and federal emergency resources, will be used to assess circumstances.
Flexibility is exercised to alert the necessary segment of the campus population which may be influenced by the threat. That determination, after considering internal and external information sources, will be made by the hierarchy of staff members mentioned above, time permitting. Consideration will be given to notify the population segment in danger, given the information present at the time, while balancing the need to inform the broader campus community. The information shared in the notification will be based on the facts known at the time, realizing that such information may change rapidly. Multiple notifications may be issued in such cases.
Various methods will be used to notify some or all segments of the campus community or greater public population. Notification will occur by any of the following means, or others, which may be necessary given the variables present in the emergency while weighing the intended target of the message:
- Public address announcements in the College buildings
- Text messages utilizing “BC Text Alerts”
- Bellin College Buzz app
- Social media posts
- Emails
- Telephone
- Video/TV display boards
- Bulletin boards
- Bulletins posted on building entrances and exits
- Bellin College website announcements
- News/radio announcements
The fire alarm(s) station lever may be pulled if a building needs to be evacuated. Fire extinguishers and alarm pull stations are located on every floor. Public address speakers may also be used. Evacuation from buildings may be required due to emergencies such as fire, chemical spill, flooding, gas leak, bomb, or other threats, or during other immediate safety and health crises when the need to leave the building outweighs the need to remain inside. Campus Safety personnel will circulate to give directions about the emergency and the next steps to take. Evacuation destinations will be subject to the nature of the emergency and conditions which exist at the time of evacuation. The Bellin College emergency notification system, “BC Text Alerts,” may also be activated. Students and employees are automatically enrolled into BC Text Alerts but may unsubscribe by texting “Stop” in return.
These procedures are tested with drills at scheduled intervals throughout the calendar year. Participants are surveyed afterward to assess the efficacy of the processes to determine if the goal – that everyone involved in the response understands his or her roles and responsibilities – was met. This information, taken in aggregate over periods of time, is used to revise and evaluate emergency procedures. The tests are recorded on the crime log spreadsheet, documenting a description of the test, the date, time, and whether it was announced or unannounced.
Crime Prevention
Student Orientation
Every year during Student Orientation, students receive a presentation from Bellin College staff related to crime prevention, safety and security, and Title IX.
Additional Crime Prevention and Security Awareness Programs
Personnel from Security and the Campus Security Authority are available to present information to academic classes, departments, student organizations and campus offices regarding campus safety issues around crime prevention and security awareness, reminding all on the necessity to be responsible for their own security and the security of others. In addition to meeting with students during orientation, training content is made available in student handbooks, on the College’s website, and in this report sent to students annually. Messages are also sent to students as needed throughout the year via Canvas and email.
Employees receive related training via in-person discussion at staff meetings, video training modules, drills and exercises, and email.
Campus Security Authority – Continuing Crime Prevention and Wellness Programs
Bellin College provides all employees who are Campus Security Authorities with training and information concerning their responsibilities related to crime prevention and wellness programs, and the reporting of crimes.
How to Report a Crime or Emergency
Students, employees, and visitors are encouraged to accurately and immediately report any criminal offense, suspected criminal activity, or other emergency directly to Brown County Emergency Services. Reporting crimes in-progress or emergency conditions can be done by contacting 911 from a cell phone or campus phone; for non-emergencies calling (920) 448-4200 will reach the Brown County Sheriff’s Department. Blue light phones (kiosks) in each parking lot at the Resch location call 911 when emergency buttons are pushed.
The Bellin College Security Team encourages anyone who is the victim of, or witness to, any crime to promptly report the incident to both the local police and to the Security Team. For non‐emergencies, report to the Bellin College Security Team by many methods. The Safety & Security Coordinator, Larry Potter, can be reached at (920) 433-6672. His office is room L48 at the Resch location. The front desks at both locations, staffed during all open building hours, are available at (920) 433-6698 (Resch location) or (920) 433-4316 (Van Asten location). We encourage students and employees to put these non‐emergency numbers into their cell phones as a speed dial entry. Emails can be sent to bcsecurity@bellincollege.edu. There is an incident report that can be submitted from the Safety and Security Page. All crimes should be reported to the Security Team for the purpose of making timely warning reports and to fulfill the annual statistical disclosure requirement. Campus security personnel maintain close working relationships with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies,
Always use 911 in the event of an emergency
Being a witness is a powerful way to aid victims. Witnesses can be active bystanders by practicing the four D’s:
- Direct Action: Call out negative behavior, tell the person to stop, and ask the victim if s/he is ok.
- Distract: Interrupt or start a conversation with the assailant, if safe to do so, giving the victim a chance to move away.
- Delegate: Encourage others to intervene if you are hesitant to do so.
- Delay: If the situation is too dangerous to act on, separate yourself and report it to the authorities.
Voluntary Confidential Reporting
Whether you or someone else is the victim, you should report a crime, suspicious activity, or other emergency on campus. All campus community members are encouraged to report any incident, even if the victim is unable to report it. During open building hours, contact the Security Officer onsite or any of the numbers listed above. There will be security on duty during all open hours. You may also contact Campus Security using the online Incident Report found on the Safety and Security Page. If you contact security, please be prepared to provide the following information:
- Your name
- Location of the incident you are reporting
- A description of the scene and suspects
- A description of any vehicles involved in the incident – especially a license plate number
The most important thing to remember is that suspicion of a crime does not require proof. If you suspect that a crime is being committed or has been committed, contact security immediately. Security personnel will be patrolling the campus during all open hours.
Bellin College encourages professional and pastoral counselors, at their discretion, to inform those they counsel of the procedures for reporting crimes voluntarily and confidentially for inclusion in the annual security report and Department of Education reporting.
Security will assist in contacting the local police department for any actual or potential criminal offenses. Security officers may be able to detain suspects but are not able to make arrests. The arrest of suspects is via the Brown County Sherriff’s Department.
Bellin College will maintain as confidential any accommodations or protective measures provided a victim to the extent that maintaining confidentiality would not impair the institution’s ability to provide them. However, there may be times when certain information must be disclosed to a third party in order to implement the accommodation or protective measure. Such decisions will be made by the institution in light of the surrounding circumstances, and disclosures of this nature will be limited so that only the information necessary to implement the accommodation or protective measure is provided. In the event it is necessary to disclose information about a victim in order to provide an accommodation or protective order, the institution will inform the victim of that necessity prior to the disclosure, including which information will be shared, with whom it will be shared and why.
Victims will be notified about options for changes to academic, working (when applicable), and protective measures. Written notification will be provided to students and employees about existing counseling, health, advocacy, and other services for victims, whether at Bellin College or in the community.
If you are assaulted:
Contact security as soon as possible. Try to remember as much about the person as possible. Important characteristics include sex, race, hair color, length and texture, body size, clothing description, scars and other noticeable markings, mode of travel, type of vehicle, color, and license number. The campus will be searched immediately for suspects and neighboring police agencies will be notified. In many incidents, the victim may already know the name of the person committing the assault.
If you see a suspicious person/or suspicious activity:
If you see suspicious situations, contact security at once. Do not approach the person yourself. Report the type of suspicious activity and give a general description of the subjects (number of persons, sex, race, dress, vehicle, location).
If you receive a bomb threat:
If you receive a bomb threat, it is important to obtain as much information from the caller as possible.
Things to ask include:
- location of bomb
- time of explosion
- type of bomb/what it looks like
- what will cause it to explode
- why the bomb was placed here
- caller’s name
Observe and document the listed incoming phone number, caller’s voice, and any background noises you may hear. Such information may assist in identifying the caller. Contact security immediately. DO NOT PANIC! Security will provide further directions.
Drug & Alcohol Policy and Standards of Conduct
The purpose of this policy is to provide an alcohol and drug-free environment for faculty, students, administration, and support staff at Bellin College in order that the College may carry out its mission and comply with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.
The College does not oversee the personal lives of college members on or off campus. However, everyone is expected to be responsible for her/his own conduct, abide by all state and federal laws, and follow College policies and guidelines. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, use, or being under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol is prohibited within the Bellin College buildings, on the campus grounds, or in other settings in which the faculty, staff, or students may be carrying on the business of the College. Any exceptions to the College policy of not serving alcoholic beverages at college-sponsored events must be approved through the President’s Office. Consumption of alcohol at such events must be in moderation.
Violations of federal and Wisconsin laws regarding drugs and alcohol will be considered a violation of the Bellin College foundational behaviors and should be reported to the Dean of Student Services within two business days. A violation of drug and alcohol use must be reported to the respective state or national board examination organization if applicable. Eligibility for credentialing and licensure is at the discretion of the respective regulatory body. Bellin College cooperates with authorities in the enforcement of local, state, and federal laws. Penalties against persons found in violation of this policy include disciplinary action up to and including termination from the College program or employment. Persons found in violation may be required to participate satisfactorily in a drug or alcohol abuse assistance or rehabilitation program, which is approved for such purposes by a federal, state, or local health, law enforcement, or other appropriate agency. Licensed Practical Nurses who are nursing students may be reported to the Wisconsin Board of Nursing.
Resources available for alcohol and drug abuse problems include, but are not limited to, the Bellin Health Office, the Bellin Health Employee Assistance Program, resources affiliated through colleges that students may be dually enrolled, and/or other community resources.
To comply with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), the College annually provides information regarding the College policy on drugs and alcohol, a description of the legal sanctions and health risks, a description of available treatment programs, and sanctions to be imposed if violations occur. This information is available via the College website and through printed material.
Drug & Alcohol – Abuse Education Programs
Through Bellin College’s Drug Abuse and Prevention Program (DAAPP), students receive an educational notification during Alcohol Awareness Month in October. The five elements of DAAP include:

Firearms & Weapons
Bellin College prohibits the possession or storage within its buildings of all types of firearms, bows and arrows, slingshots, electric current devices, explosives, ammunition, impact instruments, brass knuckles, throwing stars, darts, or any device that is designed to propel a projectile or to be propelled in an offensive manner. Cutting instruments or chemicals that are not designed to be used as tools during college related work or educational projects are also prohibited. Legal, chemical dispensing devices sold commercially for personal protection are allowed.
2011 Wisconsin Act 35 notwithstanding, the Bellin College Administration reserves the right to determine whether any article is to be allowed onto or prohibited from the campus. Prohibited possession of weapons on Bellin College property may result in academic expulsion, termination of employment, or referral to the judicial system.
The prohibition of possession of legal weapons does not apply to storage within a vehicle that is on college property if they are stored safely and securely, are always out of view, and the vehicle is locked and secure. The policy does not apply to peace officers, members of the armed forces, or military personnel armed in the line of duty, or any person authorized by the police chief of any city, village or town, or the sheriff of any county to possess a firearm in any building.
Title IX:
It is the policy of Bellin College to be nondiscriminatory because of race, color, creed, national and ethnic origin, religion, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability in the admission of students, in student programs, and in the employment of college faculty and staff.
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Implementing Regulations at: 20 U.S.C. & 1681 & 34 C.F. R. Part 106, is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities. Sex discrimination encompasses all forms of sexual violence and sexual harassment by employees, students, or third parties against students, employees, or third parties.
Sexual Discrimination, Sexual Harassment & Sexual Violence
Sexual Discrimination: Sex discrimination involves treating someone (a student or employee) unfavorably because of that person’s sex. Discrimination against an individual because of gender identity, including transgender status, or because of sexual orientation is discrimination.
Sexual Harassment: Misconduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following conditions: Unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would determine to be so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity; sexual assault, as defined in the Clery Act, or dating violence, domestic violence or stalking as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); a school employee conditioning education benefits on participation in unwelcome sexual conduct (i.e., quid pro quo). Only one of the three conditions listed must be met for the conduct to be considered sexual harassment.
Sexual Violence: The United States Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights defines sexual violence as “physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent. An individual’s inability to consent to sexual activity may arise from use of drugs or alcohol or individual conditions including intellectual or other disability.” Sexual violence includes rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual abuse, and sexual coercion. Sexual violence can be carried out by school employees, other students, or third parties.
For example…
- Sexual violence or intimate partner violence
- Attempting to coerce an unwilling person into a sexual relationship
- Engaging in sexual interactions without freely given consent
- Conditioning a benefit on submitting to sexual advances
- Gender-based stalking or bullying
- Repeatedly subjecting a person to egregious, unwanted sexual attention
- Touching of a sexual nature
- Sexually suggestive phone calls, texts, email, or social media posts; gestures, jokes, or innuendos; derogatory, degrading, or sexist remarks about a person’s body, clothing, or sexual activities
- Displaying or distributing sexually explicit drawings, pictures, or written materials
- Reprisal for a refusal to comply with any of the above statements
Consent
Sexual activity requires consent, which is defined as positive, unambiguous, and voluntary agreement to engage in specific sexual activity throughout a sexual encounter. Consent as defined by Wisconsin state law:
“Words or overt actions by a person who is competent to give informed consent indicating a freely given agreement to have sexual intercourse or sexual contact.” Minors, persons suffering from mental illness or defect, and sleeping or unconscious persons are presumed unable to give consent. Failure to resist does not indicate consent. -WI Statute Section 940.225 (4).
Awareness & Prevention
Bellin College will be providing educational programs and campaigns in the Fall 2023 – 2024 academic year to promote awareness of dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault. One example of these programs is a crisis intervention workshop for students, where students learn about what signs to look for regarding mental health and what to do if it involves dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Other programs include a Title IX workshop that is mandatory for all incoming undergraduate students that focuses on consent, a denim day program that focuses on sexual assault awareness, and a Title IX course that all students and faculty must take. The college’s primary reasons for these programs are education, raising awareness, and crime prevention surrounding dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
Awareness and preventive measures are key elements in reducing the risk of assault, but no one can predict or control another person’s behavior. Most assaults are committed by people the victim knows. If you are a victim of sexual assault, seek support and help immediately.
The use of alcohol or drugs can interfere with your ability to assess situations and to communicate effectively. Do not accept drinks from people you do not know well or leave your beverage unattended. Tell a friend if you suspect you have been drugged unknowingly.
Trust your instincts about possible danger and take appropriate actions to protect yourself. Look out for others, as well as yourself. Use the “buddy system.” Get involved if you believe a friend is at risk. Do not be afraid to intervene if you see that a friend is in trouble or being pressured in any way.
Reporting
Do not be afraid to report
Sometimes people are afraid to report sexual violence or harassment because drugs or alcohol are involved. The College’s highest priority is the safety of everyone on campus. Any other rule violations will be handled separately from the sexual harassment or violence complaint. The use of alcohol or drugs never makes the person who was victimized at fault for sexual violence.
We do not tolerate retaliation
The College prohibits any form of retaliation against a complainant. Any allegations of retaliation will result in an immediate investigation and appropriate action consistent with the College’s due process procedures.
Take action and do not ignore it
Pay attention to cues, comments, instincts, and experiences. Address unwanted contact immediately.
Say no
Tell the person that the conduct is unwanted. Tell them to stop.
Tell someone
If you are a student, tell a faculty member, campus security, a staff member, or anyone that can help. If you are an employee, tell your supervisor, an administrator, staff, or faculty member.
We take every complaint seriously
Bellin College takes any complaint about sexual violence or sexual harassment very seriously. The College follows the guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Education and Office of Civil Rights. Each complaint is immediately assessed to determine imminent danger and duty to warn others. A preliminary investigation is performed. Once an outcome has been determined based on the preponderance of evidence, the complainant and respondent are informed, and appropriate actions are taken based on that outcome.
If a student violates Bellin College’s policies, student foundational behaviors, etc., disciplinary action will be taken against the student in a prompt, fair, and impartial process. The accuser and accused can have others present, including an advisor of the individual’s choosing, in any disciplinary-related meeting. The following are examples of consequences that may be imposed if a student is found responsible for violations of the Bellin College Student Foundational Behaviors/Code of Conduct:
- College Monitoring
- Probation
- Dismissal
- Limitations of Activities
- Loss of Privileges — Denial of privileges such as removal of services and access to facilities, attendance, or participation in activities/programs.
All decisions about and actions imposed on a student, determined by a preponderance of evidence standard, will be kept in a file in the Director of Student Affairs and DEI office. Prior conduct actions will be reviewed if there are subsequent violations by the student. The Director of Student Affairs and DEI (or designee) will be in contact with the student who has been accused of misconduct within five business days of the report. The Director of Student Affairs and DEI (or designee) will review all suspected misconduct and will decide if a hearing is necessary. The student has the right to request a hearing for due process. The hearing will be scheduled if needed within five to ten business days after contact with the student in question.
Student Behavior Conduct Hearing Procedures: This section describes the format of the hearing and the rights of the respondent in a hearing process. It also includes information about witnesses, student conduct assistants, the decision-making process, and the communication process.
Hearing Format:
- An electronic or other verbatim record will be made of all hearings. This record will be retained for one month following the hearing or until the conclusion of any appeal process, whichever is longer. The record will then be destroyed, except in cases of suspension and expulsion, when the electronic record shall be retained with the student’s record.
- At the beginning of the hearing, introductions will be made. The respondent will be informed of standards alleged to have been violated which may include student policies, student foundational behaviors, etc.
- The complainant/victim will be asked to describe what happened, and the respondent will have the opportunity to respond.
- If witnesses are necessary, they will be asked to describe what happened beforehand to collect evidence, and the respondent will have a chance to respond.
- All communication between the respondent, complainant, victim, and witnesses will be directed to the Director of Student Affairs and DEI or designee.
- The Director of Student Affairs and DEI, appropriate program director, and/or appropriate Dean may ask questions of any respondent, complainant, or witness during the hearing.
- At the conclusion of the hearing, the respondent, complainant, and witnesses will be asked to leave the room. These individuals will not be present during the deliberations of the decided plan of the Director of Student Affairs and DEI appropriate program director, and/or appropriate Dean. Deliberations will begin immediately following the hearing and a decision will be made within five business days.
- The Director of Student Affairs and DEI will use the Student Performance Plan (SPN) to deliberate the outcomes of the hearing.
Appeals Process:
If the student believes that the process and procedures outlined in this policy were not followed correctly or that the process was unfair, an appeal may be submitted to the President/CEO in writing. The Appeals Form is in the Director of Student Affairs and DEI office. The student has 14 business days of the outcomes to file an appeal to the President/CEO or designee(s). The president/CEO or designee(s) will review all documents, communications, etc. or meet with the student, administrator and supervisor, or the members of the Ad Hoc Committee to determine whether the process and procedures were followed.
Furthermore, Bellin College will, upon written request, disclose to the victim and accused of a crime of violence (as defined in section 16 of title 18, United States Code), or a non-forcible sex offense, the written report on the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted against a student who is the alleged perpetrator of such crime. If the victim is deceased as a result of the crime, the next of kin of such victim shall be treated as the victim for the purposes of this process.
Contacts
Who to tell
To make informed choices when consulting college resources, people who have been victimized need to be aware of confidentiality and mandatory reporting laws.
Some resources may maintain your complete confidentiality, offering you options and advice without obligation to tell anyone, unless you want them to.
Other resources are expressly there for you to report crimes and policy violations, and they are obligated to act when you report your victimization.
If you are unsure of someone’s duties and their ability to maintain your privacy, be sure to ask before talking to them.
Confidential help
For complete confidential assistance, contact Bridgett Lowery or Makayla Schroeder. Privacy laws prohibit these individuals from disclosing your conversation without your written permission.
Reporting

VAWA Statements
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) – Enacted in 1994 to raise awareness of domestic violence and assault crimes against women. Some of its provisions mandated that states create separate criminal statutes for domestic violence, provided additional protections to victims like quicker access to restraining orders, ability to break housing contracts without penalty, and provided funding for safe houses. It has been updated and modified numerous times, most notably to expand the coverage to include all humans (men, transgender, transsexual, etc.). VAWA applies to everyone in America.
Bellin College prohibits all VAWA offenses. Acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and aggressions related to national origin or gender identity are considered serious violations. Because of the seriousness of these actions, the full range of institutional sanctions may be imposed, including probation, termination, suspension, and dismissal.
As violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is closely related to Title IX, those regulations set forth by Bellin College for Title IX in related policy and procedures (see in this document) also encompass Bellin College’s VAWA regulations and related procedures.
How do these laws overlap and work together?
VAWA was updated in 2013 with changes to become effective Oct. 1, 2014. One of the updates is the Campus SAVE provision which modifies the Clery Act by putting new requirements on schools about what to report and how to report it. The implementation of VAWA’s SAVE provision and the new Clery reporting requirements must comply with Title IX’s equal protection clauses.
VAWA requirements and definitions
- Domestic Violence – Violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. Wisconsin law identifies a domestic relationship as having a child in common, being married, or currently or previously residing together.
- Dating Violence – Violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim.
- Sexual Assault- An act in which one intentionally sexually touches another person without that person’s consent or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will.
- Stalking – Engaging in a series of 2 or more acts carried out over a period of time, however short or long, that show a continuity of purpose directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to suffer serious emotional distress or to fear bodily injury to or the death of himself or herself or a member of his or her family or household.
- National Origin – A preformed negative opinion about a group of persons based upon them being from a particular country or part of the world.
- Gender Identity – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a person or group of persons based on their actual or perceived gender identity.
How To Respond To Sexual Violence
Medical Care
As soon as possible, the victim should get medical care. The victim will benefit from being examined for physical injury or infection, and possible pregnancy. To preserve physical evidence of assault, do not bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes before the exam. It is best to report the incident within 120 hours (5 days).
Report the Incident
Several avenues are available for reporting a sexual assault or rape: criminal prosecution, civil prosecution, prosecution through the student, non-academic disciplinary procedures, or making a confidential/anonymous report.
Consider using the internal reporting options above or the external resources below to report an incident. Crimes should be reported to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction where the incident(s) occurred. Campus Security can assist with reporting if the victim chooses. Filing a confidential report does not obligate the victim to press charges. No action will be taken without your consent. The only exception required by law is the reporting of sexual assaults to individuals less than 18 years of age.
Orders of Protection
Victims needing protection from perpetrators can seek a trespass order or restraining order. The trespass order, issued by the College through the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, prohibits a person from entering Bellin College property. A restraining order, obtained through the Brown County Circuit Court process, prohibits the perpetrator from contacting the victim(s) in described circumstances. For a trespass order, contact the Bellin College Safety & Security Coordinator at (920) 433-6672 or bcsecurity@bellincollege.edu. The Brown County Clerk of Courts, available at 100 S. Jefferson Street, Green Bay, (920) 448-4155, can assist with applying for a restraining order.
College personnel can assist in connecting victims to necessary resources. Anyone holding a restraining order unrelated to any activity at Bellin College is encouraged to notify staff, faculty, or the Safety & Security Coordinator of its existence. The College will comply with the orders while working to ensure the safety of all involved.
Anti-Intimidation/Anti-Harassment Oriented Healthy Campus
Bellin College endorses and promotes a healthy workplace culture. The College prohibits conduct which may be interpreted as intimidation or harassment as described in this policy. The college wishes to promote a friendly, welcoming, and healthy environment in conjunction with the College’s Mission Statement. Every individual is entitled to be treated with respect and to be free from intimidation and harassment. All members of the college community are expected to behave in a manner which demonstrates proper regard for the rights and welfare of others.
Staff are required, and students are strongly encouraged, to provide support to individuals who are intimidated or harassed and to report incidents to a Campus Security Authority.
Anti-Harassment Policy
Bellin College does not tolerate or condone any form of harassment including sexual harassment and bullying.
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or unsolicited verbal, written, or physical conduct of a sexual nature of any kind and especially when:
- Submission to such conduct or communication by an individual is made a term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of employment, service, education, or housing.
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communication by an individual is used as a factor of discrimination in decisions affecting such individual’s employment, service, education, or housing.
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or academic performance, creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment, educational, or living environment.
Harassment can also come in various forms of bullying. The anti-bullying provision defines bullying as:
- Verbal, mental and/or physical abuse.
- Threatening, humiliating, or intimidating conduct towards another person.
- Sabotage or interference that prevents completion or performance of one’s academic or work responsibilities.
- Exploitation of a known psychological or physical vulnerability.
Students of the College who believe they are or have been the object of such conduct outlined above should contact the Dean of Student Services or another member of the College’s administration. Depending upon the severity, discipline for sexual and other forms of harassment may include verbal or written reprimand, law enforcement involvement, and/or up to and including dismissal from the College.
Incidents Motivated by Hatred or Prejudice
Bellin College values the diversity of its people and recognizes that a threat against any member of our community is truly a threat against our way of life. As a result, standardized protocol has been developed for the reporting and referral to the appropriate authorities of incidents motivated by hatred or prejudice, which involve members of the College community.
Acts or threats of violence motivated by hatred or prejudice are serious acts, often vicious in nature, which tear at the fabric of our society. These occurrences generate fear among victims as well as the entire community and have the potential of recurring, escalating, and causing counter-violence.
Examples of hate-related crimes include prejudice based on:
- Race
- Religion
- Sexual Orientation
- Gender
- Gender Identity
- Ethnicity
- National Origin
- Disability
It is the policy of Bellin College to ensure that the rights of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Wisconsin, are protected. Among those constitutional guarantees is the right to live without fear of attack by, or threat from, an individual or group due to hatred or prejudice. When any act motivated by hatred or prejudice occurs, Bellin College will use every necessary and legal resource to identify the suspects and bring them to justice rapidly and decisively.
Non-Discrimination Policy
It is the policy of Bellin College to be nondiscriminatory of race, color, creed, national and ethnic origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or handicap in the admission of students, in student programs, and in the employment of college faculty and staff.
In conformance with applicable federal and state regulations, Bellin College is committed to nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and affirmative action in its educational programs and employment policies. Inquiries concerning this policy may be directed to the Dean of Student Services.
Discrimination – Conduct Prohibited
While harassment is a form of discrimination under law, federal and local laws prohibit, more broadly, different treatment of similarly situated individuals based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or other legally protected characteristics or conduct. Examples of discrimination may include any distinction, preference, advantage for or detriment to an individual compared to others that are based upon an individual’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age, disability, citizenship, sexual orientation, veteran status, and any other groups protected by federal, state, or local statutes. The conduct must be so egregious as to alter the conditions of the individual’s employment or educational experience.
Complaint Procedure; Prohibitions against Retaliation or False Complaints
Bellin College seeks to resolve all student concerns in a timely and effective manner. To that end, this complaint process serves as an ongoing means for students to discuss concerns or register formal complaints that pertain to alleged violations of State consumer protection laws that include but are not limited to fraud and false advertising; alleged violations of State laws or rules relating to the licensure of postsecondary institutions and complaints relating to the quality of education or other State or accreditation requirements. Academic Affairs, Student Services, Admissions, Bursar, Registrar, and Financial Aid all provide specific administrative means to address and resolve most, if not all, of the questions and concerns you may have. See the Complaints Process document for full details.
Possible Sanctions
Acts of dating violence, sexual assault, harassment, stalking, and discrimination are considered serious violations. Because of the seriousness of these actions, the full range of institutional action may be imposed. These may include one or more of the following:
- Parental notification (for minors)
- Formal Hearing
- Formal verbal and/or written warning
- Restricted contact with complainant or involved party
- Training on sexual conduct
- Banishment from part or all of BC property and functions
- Discretionary sanction-required work or educational assignments
- Probation
- Loss of privileges
- Relocation of educational placements
- Suspension
- Revocation or withholding of degree
- Revocation of Admission
- Dismissal from the College
- Suspension of employment with or without pay
- Termination of employment
Registered Sex Offenders Information
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections sex offender registry was established in June 1997 due to the enactment of Wisconsin Act 440 – Wisconsin Statutes 301.45 and 301.46. This law requires registration of individuals who have been convicted of certain sexual offenses. By law, the registry contains information on those individuals who were convicted of, incarcerated, or on supervision for a sex offense on or after December 25, 1993. It is not a list of every person who has ever committed, been arrested for, or convicted of a sex offense. If a person has not been convicted of a qualifying offense, or if information has not been submitted about that person, information about that person may not be included in the registry. The information contained in the registry will not reflect the entire criminal history of a particular individual.
It is not the intent of the Legislature that this information be used to injure, harass, or commit a criminal act against persons named in the registry, their families, or employers. Anyone who takes any criminal action against these registrants, including vandalism of property, verbal or written threats of harm or physical assault against these registrants, their families, or employers, is subject to criminal prosecution.

Crime and Non-Crime Reporting Statistics
Crime Reporting
Crime statistics are gathered annually from the previous year to be included in the Clery Annual Security Report. Each event to be included in the following criminal offense categories is gathered leveraging on-campus instances and those documented by local law enforcement as they relate to the campus and its geographic boundaries. The College does not have any non-campus housing facilities or off-campus locations of recognized student organizations. The monitoring of activity includes instances when other institutions use Bellin College property and Bellin students travel abroad when staying in the same accommodations annually. A crime log, designed to track the below data, is maintained electronically on the College’s network and is available for review upon request.

Non-Crime Reporting
One formal complaint was filed in January 2017. The complaint was determined to be a violation of the College’s Anti-Harassment Policy by two students to a peer. Corrective actions were imposed on the two students such as but not limited to completion of two training courses, “Practicing Inclusion: Diversity Awareness for Undergraduate Students” and “Unlawful Harassment Prevention.” The summary of the investigation and findings are filed in the President’s area as per our policy.
One formal complaint was filed in April 2023. The complaint, determined to be a Title IX issue regarding harassment, followed informal agreement resolution procedures between the two student parties, and an agreement was made. Bellin College is committed to maintaining a living, working, and educational environment free from sexual harassment, sexual violence, and sexual discrimination. It is the policy of Bellin College to comply with Title IX.
