Continued from page 1
Administrators in Admissions, Department ot
Residence Life, University Police Department
and the Corp of Cadets said they do not consider
background checks to be in their jurisdiction.
Residence Life Director Ron Sasse said crim
inal screening is not performed on students who
apply for on-campus housing and he was
unaware ot the student sex crime offender.
“I assume the police would notify us it there
was someone living on campus. To my knowledge,
we have not been notified about this,” he said.
Sasse said hall staff, including resident advis
ers, hall directors and maintenance statt undergo
criminal screening.
University Police Director Bob
Wiatt said there is no screening of
a student’s criminal record unless a
student commits an offense requir
ing a background check while at
A&M. Wiatt said he was unaware
of the student sex offender.
General Don Johnson, deputy
commandant of the Corps, said just
because a student goes to A&M and
is in the Corps, does not mean Corps
administration would be aware of a
student’s criminal history.
“Especially not if they have
already paid for what they did,”
he said.
"Try and get to know the person bet ’
make any decisions,” he said.
Wiatt said simply being
_ a sex
would not exclude anyone from livi
pus, and that sex offenders
other students.
“They have done their punishment,tiifj
only registered because the law requite,
to,” Wiatt said. “ I his is just somethir
aware of. No action should be taken
this is a contagious disease.’’

Johnson said any screening would have

“If A&M says they are not a threat to anyone
and can be a student and can live in a dorm
and they decide to join the Corps, we will put
them in an outfit.” Johnson said. "There is no
reason for me to know who they are and no need
to discriminate against that individual because
of what they did.”
He said the issue is not easy and all implica
tions must be considered.
The student sex offender said he spent some
time in jail, and since then has changed his life
drastically.
"1 went to God and asked for forgiveness and
repented of my sins and Tve lived my life total
ly different now since I’ve found that peace that
Jesus Christ has given me, with total remorse for
everything I’ve done,” he said.
He said he hopes students and administrators
will not pass judgment.
“When I look back on it, I think I did a very
pitiful thing that should be looked down upon,”
he said. "Now that I’ve changed my life, when
people judge me or others with what I’ve done
that makes me kind of mad because they don’t
know me on a personal basis.”
He said he has learned not to judge others and
encourages others to keep an open mind.
