Loitering

Any person found on the campus without legitimate reason is a loiterer under section 240.35 of the Penal Law which states: “A person is guilty of loitering when he/she loiters or remains in or about a school, college, or university buildings or grounds not having any reason or relationship involving custody of or responsibility for a pupil or student or any other specific, legitimate reason for being there and not having written permission from anyone authorized to grant same.”

Any person found to be a loiterer is subject to removal from the campus and prosecution under the Penal Code. Any person who harbors a loiterer or conspires to do so is subject to disciplinary action.
