OVERVIEW

This document and the accompanying materials constitute Davenport University’s Crisis Management Plan. The contents of this document are the possession of Davenport University and will not be given to any outside individuals or organizations. The reason for the confidentiality of this document is due to the names and contact numbers located in the procedures.

This plan is to be implemented in the event of an emergency. It addresses the various aspects of crisis management, including physical security of people and facilities, leadership responsibilities, and internal and external communications.

An emergency is defined as:

Disrupts normal operations or poses a serious threat to persons or property Requires a quick or immediate response Requires a response with procedures and resources beyond organizational capabilities Results in a declaration of a general state of emergency by civil authorities

While the plan addresses specific types of crises and a broad range of responses, it must be clearly understood that a crisis or major disaster presents circumstances that are not always predictable. As a result, it is impossible to predict a specific course of conduct for each possible type of crisis. This plan should be considered as a general guide governing the University’s response to a crisis. Real-time modifications to procedures will undoubtedly be required as an event unfolds.

The plan identifies roles and responsibilities for specific administrators and departments within the University. Nonetheless, each member of the community, whether assigned a specific role by this plan or not, has a responsibility to assist colleagues and students during a crisis.

The three most important responsibilities of every community member during a crisis are:

1. to contact those responsible for security services when confronted with a potentially dangerous situation, even if the situation appears to be contained or to have abated;

2. to exercise independent judgment in order to ensure personal safety in the absence of specific instructions from crisis management staff; and

3. to follow instructions, once provided, as best as possible.

The goal in a crisis is to ensure the health and safety of the University, protect campus buildings,

It is necessary to note that cell phone communications will take place during a crisis situation and a location to meet may be determined at this time.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER

During the course of a crisis event, the Crisis Management team will meet in the LINC Conference room.

Should the LINC Conference room be inaccessible or undesirable during a crisis event, Faculty room B will become the centralized place for the Crisis Management Team.

In the event of a campus evacuation, the Crisis Management Team will meet at the Cata Transportation Center.

Once convened, the team may determine a more suitable location.

CRISIS COMMUNICATION CALL-OUT LISTS

REASONS TO CALL

Communication is crucial in all disruptions of the academic environment. These disruptions could be anything from a mechanical failure to major criminal activity. You can find some of the reasons listed below:

The point person at each campus must be contacted and informed of these disruptions. If in doubt, always call. The point person will contact the V.P. of Risk Management or his designee, who will continue the formal communication process as shown in the diagram below. Informal communications will take place according to individual departmental policies. The formal process has been established to verify that everyone is notified. The overlap between the formal and informal communication process can be advantages.

DU-ALERT

HIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY ACT

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008. Under Title IV, the federal law requires all colleges and universities to have a notification and warning plan in place to alert the campus community of an emergency. The U.S. Department of Education is still in the process of developing the regulations that will coincide with this law and will amend the Code of Federal Regulations (34CFR) in the fall of 2009.

DU ALERT EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

1. The Du Alert service is used to transmit brief urgent messages to a large segment of an institution’s population as quickly as possible. It is strongly recommended that this system be used for unplanned emergency events which have the opportunity to affect the entire campus. Use of this system for specific building closures which impact the campus is also encouraged.

2. The final regulations clarify the difference between the existing timely warning requirement and the new requirement for an emergency notification policy. While a timely warning must be issued in response to specific crimes, an emergency notification is required in the case of an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus. Emergency notifications may include but are not limited to:

Bomb threats or other imminent violent threats Fires, natural gas leaks and hazardous spills affecting the entire campus Building evacuations and lock downs affecting the entire campus Biological or pandemic emergency notifications Natural disasters and weather advisories. Power outages and utility failures resulting in an imminent threat Campus closure due to declared civil emergency.

Sample scripts can be found in the appendix. Emergency information can be sent to the following devices:

PANDEMIC PLANNING TEAM

In the Spring of 2009, the Cabinet approved the development of a multidisciplinary Pandemic Planning team to lead a comprehensive effort to prepare the university for a potential outbreak of pandemic influenza. Building on the university’s existing plans for crisis management and emergency response, this team will:

1. Develop policies and short-term and long-term procedures to guide the university’s preparedness in anticipation of an outbreak of pandemic flu.

2. Identify critical resources, supplies and materials the university would need to have available to address such an emergency and how best to obtain them.

3. Identify key factors or conditions that will trigger critical decision-making on the part of the University, and recommend who will need to make those critical decisions and what they should be.

4. Ensure all decisions are in accordance with local, state, and federal recommendations and mandates.

The Pandemic Planning team is responsible for the development of Davenport’s Pandemic Influenza Preparation and Response Plan. In addition, the Pandemic Planning team engages units (schools, departments, teams, committees, etc.) in a coordinated planning process and oversees the education of the Davenport community about the pandemic threat, the University’s response plans, and the need for all members of the community to be informed and involved in the preparedness efforts.

Policy Title: Recovery Process Page Number: 1 of 1



RECOVERY PROCESS

Once assured that conditions are safe, the Crisis Management Team will focus on returning the location to normal operations.

Depending on the nature of the crisis, the Crisis Management Team will provide the location with factual information regarding the crisis situation as well as details about recovery activities. This information may be provided in the form of memoranda, town hall meetings, voice mail messages, or other methods of communications.

In the event that an emergency requires closure, the Davenport University Emergency Hotline (formerly the Weather Hotline) will be activated. The hotline number is 1-800-525-8282. Up-to-date information on reopening will be made available.

Staff and students should not return until the University is officially reopened. All administrators, facility, and security personnel should report to work unless otherwise notified. On a case-by-case basis, other members will be asked to report to work to assist in recovery efforts.

In the event of building damage, the recovery process will include a repair and clean-up component led by Facility Operations. If regularly scheduled classes cannot be held due to physical damage, the Crisis Management team in conjunction with Academic Services will immediately begin efforts to reschedule classes to other locations. Since these efforts may result in time changes as well, information regarding schedule changes will be posted via the Davenport University website and through email communications.

Policy Title: Active Shooter Response Page Number: 1 of 1



ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE

The following guidelines are offered in order to provide you with useful information in the event of an active shooter.

SECURE IMMEDIATE AREA:

Close doors and lock them if possible Turn off lights Close blinds Keep calm, quiet and out of sight

CONTACTING AUTHORITIES:

Call 911 Report your specific location, office, or room number Number of people at your specific location Number and type of injuries Assailant(s) location, number of suspects, race and gender, clothing description, physical features, type of

weapons, and shooter identity if known.

UN-SECURING AN AREA:

Consider risks before un-securing rooms Attempts to rescue people should only be attempted if it can be accomplished without further endangering the

persons inside a secured area If doubt exists for the safety of the individuals inside the room, the area should remain secured.

Policy Title: Defibrillators Page Number: 1 of 1



FOR THOSE SITES THAT HAVE DEFIBRILLATORS:

AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is used in emergency medical situations where the heart of the victim has stopped beating and the victim is no longer breathing. CPR is to be administered during a heart attack, along with using the AED. Those trained and certified in CPR/AED procedures should be the ones who use the AED’s as the Good Samaritan Act will cover any problems or injuries during this life saving procedure.

An AED is fairly simple to use. For the most part, the instructions are done in pictures and sound once the unit is opened up and powered up for operation. Follow the pictures and prompts in order to properly use this device. For a male victim, a razor may be used in order to shave hair from the areas that the AED pads will be administered, in order for proper contact with the body. For females, removal of the bra may be needed in order to have proper body contact from the AED pad.

An AED should be used within the first few minutes of a heart attack, or as soon as it can be administered. The AED delivers an electrical shock that aids in attempting to establish a regular heart rhythm to aid in proper circulation of the blood & oxygen in the blood. No one should be touching the victim when the AED delivers the shock. Prompts from the AED will be given as to what to do, if the victim is shockable, and when not to touch the body.

CPR and AED should be used on heart attack victims when they are unresponsive and have no pulse or not breathing. This rescue procedure should be maintained until EMT’s or First Responders arrive to take over the medical care of the victim.

AED’s should also be properly maintained when being stored. Those responsible for Security Services will be responsible for the maintenance and supply needs for the AED’s on site. Also, proper documentation should be maintained when using this device or any other life saving technique. Documentation should be turned in to those responsible for Security Services.

If at all possible, and as a general rule of thumb, only staff that has been trained in the proper use of an AED should attempt to use it. There are, however, instances in which it would be imprudent to wait for a trained staff member. If this is the case, the AED has been designed in such a way that they are user friendly and a Good Samaritan can adequately administer treatment with the device by following the instructions printed on the apparatus.

IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SECURITY SERVICES TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES OF THE AED EACH YEAR.

Policy Title: Communicable Disease Page Number: 1 of 2



COMMUNICABLE DISEASECommunicable diseases are those that can be transmitted from person to person (or animal to human) via direct contact with body fluids, ingesting contaminated food or water, inhalation of contaminated air, or the bite of an infected insect. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites are some of the organisms that can cause communicable diseases.

A student who has a communicable disease may attend Davenport University whenever, through reasonable accommodation, the risk of transmission of the disease is sufficiently remote. Placement decisions will be made by using current public health department guidelines concerning the disease in question. Information on communicable diseases can be found at the below website. The website table of contents is located on the next page..

http://www.accesskent.com/Health/HealthDepartment/CD_Epid/Disease_Fact_Sheets.htm

The determination of whether a student with a chronic communicable disease may attend Davenport University will be made on an individual basis, according to procedures implemented by the University in consultation with appropriate University personnel, the student’s primary physician, public health personnel, the University’s legal counsel, and the student.

A student who has a communicable disease may be denied admission to, or may be dismissed from, a particular program or course of study whenever such communicable disease has a direct effect on the student’s ability to perform a course of study.

The University shall respect the right to privacy of any student who has a chronic communicable disease or is a carrier. The student’s medical condition shall be disclosed only to the extent necessary to minimize the health risks to the student and others. Persons deemed to have “a direct need to know” will be provided with the appropriate information; however, these persons shall not further disclose the information.

CLEAN UP – If the communicable disease causes a need for decontamination, Facilities will arrange proper cleaning of contaminated areas as soon as possible. Assessments of completion of decontamination will be provided to the appropriate Leadership.

Vivian Riddle Magnet Middle School221 Huron StreetLansing, MI 48915517-325-6868

Purpose

The purpose of fire drills is to ensure the efficient and safe exit of facilities in the case of an emergency. Proper drills ensure orderly exit under control and prevent panic. Order and control are the primary purposes of the drill. Speed in emptying buildings, while desirable, is not in itself an object, and should be made secondary to the maintenance of proper order.

Responsibility

Fire drills shall be designed and conducted according to the occupancies specified below. Responsibility for the planning and conduct of drills shall be assigned by campus risk management to competent persons qualified to exercise leadership. A written record of all drills conducted should be maintained including a critique of the event. This record should be maintained by risk management.

General Guidelines

Drills shall include suitable procedures to make sure that all persons in the building, or all persons subject to the drill, actually participate. If a fire drill is considered merely as a routine exercise from which some persons may be excused, there is a grave danger that in an actual fire, the drill will fail in its intended purpose.

All drills will be preplanned but not preannounced. Fire drills shall be held with sufficient frequency to familiarize all occupants with the drill procedure and to have the conduct of the drill a matter of established routine. Sufficient frequency for Davenport University is to hold two fire drills each semester. One will be held during the day and another in the evening. This will give the majority of faculty, staff, and students the ability to be involved in a drill.

Drills should be carefully planned to simulate actual fire conditions. Not only should they be held at varying times, but different means of exit should be used based upon an assumption that if some given stairway is unavailable by reason of fire or smoke, all the occupants must be led out by some other route. Fire exit drills should be designed to familiarize the occupants with all available means of exits, particularly emergency exits that are not habitually used during the normal occupancy of the building.

Fire Exit Drills in Specific Campus Occupancies

The usefulness of a fire drill and the extent to which it can be carried depends upon the character of the occupancy. Drills are most effective in occupancies such as classrooms, where the occupant load of the building is somewhat consistent. In buildings where the occupant load is of a changing character, no regularly organized fire drill is possible.

38


Policy Title: Fire Drills Page Number: 1 of 4



FIRE DRILLS

In such cases, the fire drills must be limited to the regular employees, who can be thoroughly schooled in the proper procedure and can be trained to properly direct other occupants of the building in case of fire. In occupancies such as the Student Center, regular employees can be rehearsed in the proper procedure in case of fire. Such training always is advisable in all occupancies whether or not regular fire drills can be held.

The following sections address some of the special fire drill details which should be observed for specific occupancy classes.

A. Educational Occupancies – Academic and Administrative Buildings.

All educational buildings on campus must hold two fire drills per semester, preferably during the first four weeks of the semester. Faculty and staff shall work in cooperation with risk management in scheduling drills before the semester begins.

Evacuation instructions are to be conspicuously posted in each classroom, and hallway to provide the necessary evacuation information and ensure orderly egress from the building. Signs should also specify that elevators must not be used to exit during a fire drill.

Classroom faculty and staff should be familiar with the easiest exit to be used in the fire drill and the alternative exits available. Faculty and staff should close (not lock) doors and windows and take responsibility for checking facilities for complete evacuation. All personal belongings within reach should be taken from classrooms by students.

Handicapped students should inform faculty or staff at the start of the semester of any special requirements with respect to locations and procedures that will best facilitate those students' egress from the building in an emergency. In general, wheelchair users should go to the stairwell which is furthest from the fire and wait for help. Fire departments should be notified that stairwells be checked first. Other handicapped persons should be assisted by students, faculty or staff. Do not leave a handicapped person alone.

B. Residential Occupancies

Residential facilities demonstrate the greatest need for adequate and effective fire exit awareness due to the potential loss of life. Fire drills in residence halls must be performed twice a semester at a minimum. Because of the nature of the occupancy, it is usually the case that additional drills are performed due to false alarms.

A major concern in residence hall fire drills is the resistance of residents to evacuate the building in the event of a drill. Resident assistants and other staff must take responsibility for the complete and orderly evacuation of the building. Education and awareness are key components to an effective fire evacuation program. Directional signs in hallways and in each dorm room will help student to become more fully aware of their options.

39





Special consideration must be given to handicapped students with regard to fire safety in residence halls. To be most effective, handicapped students should be required to evacuate the building during a fire drill regardless of their location in the building. Preplanning is key for the handicapped person because his/her own familiarity with the buildings, exists, and the safest methods of egress is vital. First responders should preplan by having designated individuals assigned to evacuate handicapped persons requiring assistance. The handicapped person should also seek out buddies to assist in the evacuation and should explain all instructions beforehand. No-one should be left behind during a fire drill or fire condition.

To facilitate evacuation, handicapped persons should be assigned to rooms on ground or egress level whenever possible. Rooms should be identified on the outside of the building with a distinctly coded sign to advise the fire department without distinguishing the student. If evacuation of a handicapped person is not possible, he/she should return to the room, close the door or proceed to the nearest stairwell if possible and wait for the fire department rescue. For this reason, each dorm should have a list of all handicapped students and their room location on file with the fire department.

On each floor of the facility, the resident staff should proceed down the hall knocking loudly on each door as he/she passes. Staff should not unlock each door as this is time consuming and may result in danger to the staff person.

C. Assembly Occupancies – Student Center

Because actual fire drills are not practical for places of non-continuous assembly where the students or public body changes with each program, employees or attendants of such places should be schooled in the duties they are to perform in case of fire in order to be of greatest service in effecting an orderly exit.

An adequate number of competent attendants must be on duty when assembly occupancy is used. Attendants should be instructed in the proper use of portable fire extinguishers and other manual fire suppression equipment if provided.

Signs with directions for speedy and orderly egress should be posted.

Policy Title: Fire Drill Checklist Page Number: 4 of 4



FIRE DRILL CHECKLIST

In the event of a fire, pull the fire alarm. The integrated fire alarm system is for use only in the event of a fire and should NOT be used to evacuate the building for any other emergency.

IMMEDIATELY:

Remind students which exit to take as noted in each classroom, regardless of where they are parked.

Tell them to put on coats and to pick up purses/keys. Leave all books, notebooks, etc. in the classroom.

Tell all students they MUST move to an area 300 feet from the building.

You are to take a roster or safety sign-in sheet and a pen/pencil with you.

Close all classroom windows.

Turn off lights.

Close all classroom doors.

ONCE OUTDOORS:

Announce that class is NOT cancelled automatically – notification of official cancellation of class will be

announced by campus personnel.

Ask students to inform you if they select to leave and take note of all who leave the premises.

Confirm through a roster or safety sign-in sheet that all students who were present that day are out of the building.

You will be asked by Fire officials to verify this.

Do not reenter the building until permission is granted by those having authority.

42


Policy Title: Fire Response - Disabilities Page Number: 1 of 1



EVACUATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

When emergency evacuation from a building becomes necessary, special attention must be paid to the safety of persons with disabilities. Good planning is the best defense against unnecessary accidents and confusion. Some people with disabilities may not need help while others may. This is why it is imperative that you ask the person if there is any way you can be of assistance.

Any campus building may have an employee, student or visitor who is a person with disabilities. The three most encountered are visual, aural, and mobility.

Visibility – Visually impaired persons may need guidance to the primary exit or to a secondary exit. Aural – Aurally impaired individuals may not realize the alarm is sounding. Mobility – Evacuation between floors can be difficult. Do not use elevators during emergencies.

If persons with disabilities are frequently present in your office, classroom, or residence hall, discuss evacuation plans with them. Travel with them over possible exit routes, identify potential obstacles and ask their opinions.

Mobility impaired persons should be evacuated by untrained personnel only when the situation is life threatening. If it is determined that there is no immediate danger, consider remaining where you are and immediately inform a member of the crisis management team or those responsible for security services.

In life-threatening situation where immediate evacuation is necessary, always ask the person if you can help! Then, personally assist the person with a disability down the stairs. Some crutch and cane users may be able to use the stairs, others may not. Ask them how they want your help.

Wheelchair users should be carried in their chair only when at least two strong people are available who can control the chair.

Communicate with people who are deaf or who have hearing impairments. When possible, arrange emergency signals in advance. Keep verbal messages short. Visual props, such as cards or notes can be used to communicate. Immediately tell them what is happening and keep them informed of the situation.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

If there is a hazardous materials spill anywhere on location the following steps should be immediately taken.

Contact security services, facility staff, or a member of the Crisis Management team. They will take over coordinating the remainder of the emergency response. The scene should be immediately secured by not allowing people into the hazardous area. This includes any rescue attempts, anyone unable to remove themselves from the affected area will have to wait until the situation has been fully assessed and emergency personnel have arrived. If there is anyone in such a state immediately contact 911 and notify them of the situation.

Isolate the area and take steps to ensure the safety of people as well as the environment with the priority being in that order.

Attempt to identify the hazardous materials using any placards visible from a safe distances, MSDS sheets found in the security services office, or shipping documents that may be available.

Assess the Situation. If the spill warrants it, contact emergency services to take over the scene. If not contact the Director of Security Services and/or the Director for Facilities and ask for instructions on how to proceed.

There may be the need to shut down the HVAC systems if there is a chemical spill on the highway and a chemical cloud is approaching the campus. There will always be a facility or security personal available to shutdown HVAC units if necessary.

Policy Title: Severe Weather Page Number: 1 of 7



SEVERE WEATHER – Class Cancellation/Campus Closing Policy

Severe winter weather may come in many forms consisting of snow, ice, and wind. Generally, each one individually does not result in the cancellation of classes but occasionally the severe combination of all three may cancel classes or possibly close a campus.

Our students are being trained to work in our communities. Businesses rarely close due to weather related issues. Davenport will rarely close or cancel classes. DECISION PROCESS

The recommendation to cancel classes or the closing of a campus will be made by the highest ranking student services and academic leadership member for a specific campus.

Information regarding the conditions of the weather can generally be determined by contacting facilities and security who may be on site. Use of the internet is also encouraged for weather information (www.weather.com). There is an expectation that the recommendation would be made with help from others.

In the chart below you can find criteria that can be used to make this recommendation. These criteria will be used to explain to faculty, staff, and students why classes were canceled. This information will also be tracked by the V.P. of Risk Management to help obtain an understanding under what conditions classes are generally canceled so decisions can become easier in the future.

A request to cancel classes will be given to the V.P of Risk Management by the highest ranking Student Services person of a specific campus. This request will contain details related to the above chart. The V.P. of Risk Management will contact the Executive V.P. of Finance by 5:30 am with bullet points about the weather conditions of the effected campus. The Executive V.P. of Finance will contact the President for final approval.

The process to close a location will be the same as above, however the E.V.P for Organizational Development and the V.P. of Risk Management must concur with the decision to close a campus before the E.V.P. of Finance is contacted.

CLASS CANCELLATIONS PROCEDURES

Lansing

NOTE: All staff are to report to work as long as they are not jeopardizing their safety. Please use best judgment.

HOW to Determine School Closure: Rule of thumb – If we believe that 1/3 of our students will be unable to arrive for classes (reasoning: If only a few

students show up, our instructors will have to spend the next class session updating those who weren’t in attendance on the day of the closure, so we are not gaining anything by staying open)

Watch the local CBS and NBC stations (WLNS-TV and WILX-TV10) to find out what the high schools are doing within a 25 mile radius of Lansing.If a substantial number of high schools north, south, east and west of Lansing are closed, this is an indication that we should probably do the same. Use best judgment for determination.

WHEN to Determine School Closure:Determination must be made by 7:00am for morning classes and by 3:00pm for evening classes. This includes weekends.

If the decision to cancel is not obvious, a decision will also need to be made later that day whether or not to cancel evening classes. Utilize the determination guidelines above.

How to IMPLEMENT School Closure:A joint decision by the Executive Director of Academic Services and the Director of Student Services will be made, with the advisement of the Director of Facilities. Media communication will be as follows:

Executive Director of Academic Services will contact: WILX, WLNS and FOX47 Director Student Services will contact: Local Radio Stations: MacDonald Broadcasting, Citadel

Broadcasting and Mid-Michigan Radio GroupThe attached pages (“Media Alert Information” electronic document) list the process and code words to use when cancelling classes at the various media outlets. Please note the assignments that have been made regarding who is responsible to call which radio and/or television station(s). If someone is unavailable to make their call(s), the other will be responsible for ensuring the calls are made.

Internally, the Director of Student Services will contact the Customer Service Specialist to record the appropriate message on the Weather Line extension (517.367.8200).

Purpose

The purpose of tornado drills is to provide shelter for the campus community during a tornado warning. In these cases, faculty, staff and students should not evacuate the building, since this may cause injury. During a tornado warning you have only a short time to find shelter. Advance planning and a quick response are the keys to surviving this type of inclement weather. The University values the safety of each individual and expects that people will take responsibility for safeguarding their welfare.

Regulation

Effective March 30, 1998 House Bill 5237 amended the Michigan Fire Prevention Cote, Act 207, P.A. 1941, as amended, Section 19 to require Tornado Drills in Schools. The new requirement applies to all schools, including state supported schools, colleges, universities and school dormitories.

Sec. 19 (3) now requires a minimum of 2 tornado safety drills for each school year at the schools and facilities …... These drills are for the purpose of preventing hazards and injuries in the event of severe weather.

Responsibility

Responsibility for the planning and conduct of drills shall be assigned by campus risk management to competent persons qualified to exercise leadership. A written record of all drills conducted should be maintained including a critique of the event. This record should be maintained by risk management.

General Guidelines

Drills shall include suitable procedures to make sure that all persons in the building, or all persons subject to the drill, actually participate. If a tornado drill is considered merely as a routine exercise from which some persons may be excused, there is a grave danger that in an actual tornado, the drill will fail in its intended purpose. All drills should be pre-planned and preannounced.

Definitions

Severe Weather: Includes thunder, lightening, hail, wind, and heavy rains Tornado: A violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground. Watch: Indicates that conditions are favorable for a particular type of weather to occur. Warning: Indicates that a particular type of weather is or will soon be occurring

Policy Title: Tornado Drills Page Number: 1 of 4



TORNADO DRILLS

Specified Occupancies

Educational Occupancies – Academic and Administrative Buildings.

All educational buildings on campus must hold two sets of tornado drills, one in the spring and one in the Fall, preferably during the first four weeks of the semester. Faculty and staff shall work in cooperation with risk management in scheduling drills before the semester begins. A “set” can be defined as a tornado drill during the day and one in the evening in order to involve as many staff and students as possible.

Locations of tornado shelters are to be conspicuously posted in each classroom, and hallway to provide the necessary information and ensure orderly movement through the building. Signs should also specify that elevators must not be used to exit during a tornado drill.

Faculty and staff must be familiar with the tornado shelter locations and will assist students to these shelters.

Handicapped students should inform faculty or staff at the start of the semester of any special requirements with respect to procedures that will best facilitate those students.

Residential Occupancies

Residential facilities demonstrate the greatest need for adequate and effective tornado shelter awareness due to the potential loss of life. Tornado drills in residence halls must be performed twice each year, one in the spring and Fall.

A major concern in residence hall tornado drills is the resistance of residents to go to the designated tornado shelters. Resident assistants and other staff must take responsibility for the complete and orderly movement of the students through the building. Education and awareness are key components to an effective tornado drill program. Location of shelter in each apartment will help student to become more fully aware.

Special consideration must be given to handicapped students with regard to tornado drills in residence halls. To be most effective, handicapped students should be required to move to tornado shelters during a tornado drill regardless of their location in the building. Preplanning is key for the handicapped person because his/her own familiarity with the tornado shelter locations, and the safest methods of egress is vital. The handicapped person should also seek out buddies to assist.

On each floor of the facility, the resident staff should proceed down the hall knocking loudly on each door as he/she passes. Staff should not unlock each door as this is time consuming and may result in danger to the staff person.

Assembly Occupancies – Student Center

Because actual tornado drills are not practical for places of non-continuous assembly where the students or public body changes with each program, employees or attendants of such places should be schooled in the

59


Policy Title: Tornado Drills Page Number: 2 of 4



duties they are to perform in case of a tornado drill. An adequate number of competent attendants must be on duty when assembly occupancy is used. Signs with directions for speedy and orderly egress should be posted.

Policy Title: Stalking Page Number: 1 of 2



STALKING/THREATS/HARRASSMENT

IF OCCURRING ON CAMPUS:

Contact those individuals who are responsible for security services or your student services representative. They will evaluate the situation and contact police authorities if necessary.

If fear of bodily harm exists, call the Police Department at 911 and then locate security services personnel.

If you receive a “Personal Protection Order” or PPO from the court, provide a copy of the order to the office of Security Services.

IF OCCURRING OFF CAMPUS:

Contact the police at 911 followed by security services personnel.

Copies of Personal Protection Orders are kept on file. These documents should be updated as necessary and will be shared with location personnel on a need to know basis.

As with any incident on location, an incident report should be filled out and kept on file for future reference.

The next page is an example of the information that can be given to those at a location in order to assist in identifying the individual responsible. This information, upon approval of the victim, can be kept at a main entrance desk, welcome center, or other location where staff may meet people as they enter the building.

Stalking is a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested. 750.411h

Policy Title: Suicidal Remarks Page Number: 1 of 1



SUICIDAL REMARKS

With the diverse student body with varying age groups and backgrounds the potential exists for suicidal tendencies among students who are attending classes. It is critical that our staff respond to these individuals correctly and with care to ensure that the safety of our student body is preserved and that the individual is properly cared for.

When confronted with a student who is making suicidal remarks you should contact a security services or a student services representative as soon as possible. Security Services personnel, with help from Student Services, will coordinate any further response.

It is important to isolate this student from the rest of the student population and keep them under watch throughout the entire incident. At no time should a student who has made such statements be left alone. Every effort should be made to keep them on location. If the individual insists on leaving inform them that you believe this to be unwise but allow them to leave if they insist. If the student does leave, contact the Police Department to inform them of the situation. Attempt to give the police a description of both the person and the vehicle they are driving as well as contact information if available.

Ask the student if there is a mental health professional that they have been seeing and ask if they have the contact number for that person. If they do, have them contact that individual. Ask the student if there is a family member or friend that can transport him/her off site.

A DU employee should only willingly allow a suicidal student to leave if there is a third party present to transport them. Under no circumstances should the student be allowed to leave on their own, even if they state that they are feeling better, without some resistance from the University employee.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of students' education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student, or former student, who has reached the age of eighteen or is attending any school beyond the high school level. Students and former students to whom the rights have transferred are called "eligible students."

Parents and eligible students have the right to inspect and review all of the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of materials in education records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents and eligible students to inspect the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

Parents and eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record commenting on the contested information in the record.

Generally, the school must have written permission from the parent or eligible student before releasing any information from a student's record. However, the law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to the following parties:

o school employees who have a need-to-know o other schools to which a student is transferring o certain government officials in order to carry out lawful functions o appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student o organizations doing certain studies for the school o accrediting organizations o individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas o persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies o state and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state laws

Schools may also disclose, without consent, "directory" type information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendances. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents or eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them.

Schools must notify parents and eligible students of their rights under this law. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.

For additional information or technical assistance, call (202) 260-3887 or TDD (202) 260-8956, or contact:
