Wichita ? Thirty-seven registered criminal offenders are enrolled or employed at the six state universities in Kansas, a newspaper analysis has found.

Federal law requires universities to keep a list of the registered offenders at their schools and make the information available, The Wichita Eagle reports. But it’s not clear how many people know about the lists.

There are 12 offenders at Wichita State University, 10 at Kansas State University, seven at Pittsburg State University, five at Kansas University, two at Emporia State University and one at Fort Hays State. Their crimes include rape, indecent liberties with a child and use of a deadly weapon.

What information goes on a list and how it is provided to the public varies from campus to campus. Some post it online, while others require students and parents to go to the campus police offices and ask for it.

The Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees the state universities, said Friday that each school decides how to make the offender information available.

The KU Office of Public Safety lists sex offenders by name on its website, publicsafety.ku.edu, under Crime and Fire Statistics. The page notes student or employee status and provides links to each person’s profile on the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s registered offender website.

At the beginning of the fall semester, the KU Office of Public Safety website showed five registered sex offenders were enrolled as students as of September 26, when KU’s list was last updated. All were compliant and none had on-campus residential addresses, according to the KBI registered offender website.

Only three of those five are enrolled at KU now, KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said Monday. She said that sex offenders are not allowed to live in campus housing.

The three offenders currently enrolled, all men, were convicted of statutory rape, electronic solicitation of a child and aggravated sexual assault of a person older than 60, according to the KBI website.
