"UAlbany students on Alumni Quad invited children from Starlight Children's Foundation & their families to dress up and trick-or-treat in the hallways on Halloween"A group of 50 children turned out for 'Starlight Halloween Night,' children who either spend a lot of time in the hospital or are dealing with a chronic illnesses such as cancer, colitis, cystic fibrosis, mitochondrial disease, [...]" - UAlbany post on linkedin.com
For many years UAlbany has cared so very little about the welfare of children (or anyone) that the UAlbany police were not maintaining their sexual offender registry - a disservice to the sex offenders themselves, even. UAlbany was representing to the public that some sex offenders were there long after they'd left the university.
UAlbany had threatened me not to communicate with anyone there other than Clarence L. McNeill, a threat McNeill cc'd to Police "Chief" J. "Frank" Wiley. Given that threat, of which UAlbany's George Philip, Christine Bouchard, John Murphy, John Reilly, Janet Thayer, and J. "Frank" Wiley had all been made aware by Clarence L. McNeill, I couldn't inform the police of their failure to maintain a sexual offender registry they're required to maintain by law and that they'd been claiming to maintain in their annual lying Clery Act reports. McNeill's retaliatory, coercive prior restraint on freedom of speech inquiry, association, movement, etc. without due process didn't trouble anyone at SUNY system administration or the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights either. One wouldn't've thought people who respect the NY and US Constitutions, the rule of law, the integrity of the American educational system, etc. would be so impossible to find.
Only after my reporting the failure of the UAlbany Police to maintain their sexual offender registries to just about anyone at the local, county, state and federal levels I could think of for months on end did the UAlbany Police finally delete the older of their two erroneous registries and partially update the one dated 2009. I continued reporting it and eventually the one dated 2009 was updated a little further, though last I looked it still did not specifically indicate when it was last updated or by whom, or who to contact about it.
J. "Frank" Wiley still represents himself to be UAlbany's Chief of Police even after this failure on his part to properly supervise the department he's ostensibly in charge of overseeing. That is, he's in charge if he swore and filed his Oath of Office with the NYS Secretary of State in the year he was appointed despite his lack of qualifications, which it seems he didn't do according to the NYS Department of State, in which case he legally vacated the office the very year he was appointed.
The threats against me have not been retracted. The salaries of all the member(s) of the UAlbany Police department as well as "Chief" Wiley are wasted on them, as they don't do their jobs. Their attitude about their jobs seems similar to the attitude Albany County Sheriff had worked to cultivate in the members of his department:
"Rodriguez allegedly recorded a January 2010 meeting where Apple brought together members of his department to boost morale. In the meeting, Apple, who officially succeeded former sheriff James Campbell in 2012 after serving as acting sheriff for nearly a year, encouraged the members of the department to work within a 'gray area' and is heard saying 'I've been living in the gray for 22 (expletive) years. I know exactly how to manipulate the law and I've gotten pretty good at doing it. Is it right, wrong or indifferent? I don't (expletive) care.'"Fitzgerald, Bryan. “Dismiss misconduct claim, court rules; Statue [sic] of limitations cited in investigator’s taping of undersheriff.” Albany Times Union. April 6, 2013: C5. http://albarchive.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=22105121
"I don't (expletive) care": what a great attitude with respect to the law and the public there, Sheriff. Sheriff Craig Apple, the Wormy, Snakelike Manipulator of the Law; Sheriff Craig "Rotten" Apple; Sheriff Gray. The statute of limitations would presumably not prevent Albany County from requiring Apple to stop living in the gray and to start caring about enforcing the laws he’s been manipulating, ignoring, or violating, would it?
I'd done more, as an Albany County resident and UAlbany alumnus, to see to the proper maintenance of UAlbany's sexual offender registry proper maintenance than their entire department had in five years (possibly far longer). Not one of the over sixty members of the department cared about the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, their own Oaths of Office (such of them that actually swore and filed one with the NYS Secretary of State the year they were appointed), etc. At this point, every single member of the department, past and present, really ought to have to be listed as a sex offender on that very registry, frankly.

There was an audit by the NYS Comptroller's Office in 2007 with a follow-up in 2009 http://osc.state.ny.us/audits/allaudits/093009/07s121.htm which found a number of problems, but it evidently failed to take note of the mismanagement of the sexual offender registry. The Registry gets referenced in the Clery Act Report http://police.albany.edu/ASR.pdf on page 53, the claim being there that it was being maintained - when clearly (the above archives) it was not being maintained properly. At least part of page 53 was not written for the report but was instead copied and pasted from the website: "The DCJS Sex Offender Registry site may be found on the web (See the link to the right)" (there's no link to the right in the PDF).
The Comptroller's Office thanked me for informing them of the non-compliance, but took no action on it as far as I know. I was informed on October 22, 2012, "We have provided the information you supplied with your email to staff in our State Government Accountability for their consideration with respect to future audit planning." The Registry continued to be dated 2009 until sometime after my last archive on February 19, 2013 when it was updated to 2013.
A song about Michael W. Barberich, Jeanette Altarriba, John Murphy, Clarence L. McNeill, Craig Apple, etc. - even me, if you like. John Murphy had written me that we're "family" (*shudder*). If so, we're one big family of assholes.
