This book was released on 2016 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Campus security and safety is an important feature of postsecondary education.

Download or read book The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting written by U. S. Department U.S. Department of Education and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting, a compendium of U.S. Department of Education (ED) guidance on complying with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). Since that time, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) was signed into law, amending the Clery Act and adding a number of safety- and security-related requirements to the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).This new legislation necessitated writing The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting-an updated and expanded version of the previous handbook. This new version of the handbook will familiarize you with the amended Clery Act and the new regulations that were added by HEOA. Similar to the 2005 version, this handbook takes you step by step along the path to compliance and explains what the regulations mean and what they require of your institution. It also includes new examples and enhanced explanations of many topics based on questions asked of our Campus Safety and Security Help Desk (see inside back cover for e-mail address) over the past several years. What hasn't changed is the handbook's emphasis on compliance as a whole system of developing policy statements, gathering information from a variety of sources and translating it into the appropriate categories, issuing alerts, disseminating information, and, finally, keeping records. Although we address "you" throughout, we want to stress that this is not a one-person job. As you will see when you read further, a key ingredient in ensuring compliance is coordination-knowing who does what and when. This means that most of you will find it necessary to coordinate compliance activities with many people and offices in the campus community. We hope that you will use this handbook not only to comply fully with the law and its regulations, but to make sure that your disclosures to students, employees, families and the public are easily understandable and useful. So, please read the handbook carefully, think about how the requirements apply to your situation and then review the handbook again. Remember: the goal of the safety- and security-related HEA regulations is to provide students and their families, as higher education consumers, with accurate, complete and timely information about safety on campus so that they can make informed decisions.

Download or read book Campus Safety and Student Privacy Issues in Higher Education written by Kristen Slater Burnett and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to delve into, and further understand, the perceptions of higher education administrators when they experience having to simultaneously balance the issues of campus safety and student privacy. The research surveyed approximately 900 (with 147 returns) administrators who self-identified as having a role in incidents of campus crises on their respective campuses. The survey was the starting-point for gathering baseline data that was used to further understand the experiences of the administrators. Following up on the data provided in the survey, qualitative interviews with volunteer administrators helped to expand the limited available research by providing the perspective of the administrator, a perspective that has gone under examined. The data allowed the researcher to build a composite of information that illustrates and describes the perceptions and experiences of administrators as they maneuver their way through moments of crisis. The research provides colleges and universities insight into the perceptions of administrators and the stress of their respective roles.

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Planning and Training and Response to Campus Safety Incidents written by Kimberly Michele Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 50 years, campus violence has significantly impacted our institutions of higher education. As a result, campus safety has become an increasingly important topic for all colleges and universities. The Virginia Tech tragedy in 2007 highlighted the necessity of emergency management planning and training as well as employee understanding of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Emergency management plans for 27 institutions in Missouri were collected and evaluated to determine how they instructed employees to respond to various campus safety scenarios and how training factored into the campus plans. Two-hundred, fifty-one employees were then surveyed to see how consistently and accurately they responded to two campus safety scenarios, based on the instructions given in their particular campus plans. Employee understanding of FERPA was also reviewed to identify how well administrators, faculty, and staff comprehend student privacy regulations. The following conclusions were established as a result of this study. (a) While most institutions have emergency management plans in place, these plans are not well read or understood. (b) Many emergency management plans are not comprehensive and are inconsistent across the state of Missouri. (c) Minimal participation in annual training as part of emergency management planning occurs at our public higher education institutions in Missouri, especially for faculty. (d) Participation in training does not indicate that an institution is better prepared to respond to campus safety incidents. (e) Employees do not understand what information may be shared under FERPA as well as what information is not subject to FERPA regulations. (f) Some institutions, and some individuals, are hesitant to discuss or evaluate emergency preparedness in response to campus safety incidents.
Download or read book Risk Management in Student Affairs written by Thomas E. Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, accessible guide to the policies and practices of risk management in higher education Student affairs staff at all types of colleges and universities need to be equipped to help manage risk and protect their institutions, the people they serve, and their resources from unintended consequences. Risk Management in Student Affairs: Foundations for Safety and Success helps practitioners understand the sources of risk in their work, and the practices and strategies they can employ to help mitigate that risk. Written for those without legal training, the book is accessible to new and mid-level professionals as well as students preparing to enter the profession. It teaches how to limit, control, and respond to risk in order to protect oneself and one's institution. The book covers all aspects of risk management in higher education, including: Tort liability (such as damage due to negligence, accidents on campus, injuries resulting from alcohol use, and incidents during study-abroad trips) Contracts (such as off-campus incidents, contracts for events and activities, and employment and disciplinary issues) State and federal violations (including the freedoms of speech, religion, and the press, search and seizure, due process, OSHA, Title IX, FERPA, and ADA) Resource protection (including information and data security, facilities, financial resources, and physical environments) Managing risk is an integral part of the work of student affairs, and the ability to manage risk well can save time, money, and personnel at a time when resources can be scarce. Whether you work in a public or private institution, and whether you manage personal or institutional risk, no other book addresses risk management within higher education in such a focused, comprehensive manner.
Download or read book College in the Crosshairs written by Brian O. Hemphill and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gun violence – whether rampage shootings, homicides or suicides – is a potential reality all campuses have to face. This book provides leaders in higher education – and particularly those in student affairs – with data about past incidents, an analysis of trends, and background on the national debate about gun policies and how they impact colleges, state by state. It importantly raises issues about student psychological development, mental health, and the prevalence of alcohol and substance abuse on campus, to better inform discussion about allowing guns on campus and concealed carry. It concludes by sharing strategies for averting gun-related tragedies, and offering models for responding when they occur, based on lessons learned and best practices. The book addresses concealed carry legislation and its impact on campus policies by state, examining the concerns of administrators as they discharge their duty of care to students and comply with legal and regulatory frameworks. Asking “Are our students developmentally ready to make a morally sophisticated, life-changing decision to use firearms in response to a real or perceived threat?”, it offers important perspectives and scientific data, so far absent from the debate, to shape the ongoing conversation with lawmakers and the public about what it takes to keep college communities safe.In addressing risk and prevention, contributors cover the relationship between violence and mental health, and the need to establish comprehensive strategic plans and a preventative framework that promotes help-seeking for those in need before they reach the point of crisis, as well as a campus-wide risk assessment team, stressing the importance of cultivating a community-wide approach to campus safety by empowering members to report suspicious behavior. They also offer guidance on improving effective behavior intervention and case management processes.The book concludes by outlining best practices, and providing guidance on developing an emergency plan, practicing and testing systems, and creating a robust communications strategy. Individual chapters focus on how small colleges with limited resources can develop effective plans into by partnering with local agencies; as well as on the steps that community colleges – who generally lack resident advisors and residential staff, and whose students are far more dispersed – can take to diminish risk and respond promptly and professionally to a crisis.This is an essential guide for all higher education leaders concerned about preventing violence on our campuses, and a call to action.
