Violence and Crime Prevention Information


Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics
 
The following procedures for reporting campus crimes have been outlined, and information on the number of occurrences of crimes on the campus for the past three-year period has been disclosed, below. Updated information is sent to all students via email on July 1 of each year.
 
Reporting a crime
 
Students and faculty members who need to report a crime should notify one of the following administrators as soon as possible after the occurrence of the suspected crime: campus director, director of admissions, director of
financial aid, director of career services, dean of students, dean of faculty or front desk personnel. A student who wishes to report a crime and who cannot immediately locate an administrator should report the crime through the main reception desk. The receptionist will immediately convey important information related to the crime to appropriate authorities. A student needing immediate assistance should first report to the reception desk. At the earliest possible opportunity, one of the administrators should be notified. GU/MSB does not have licensed counselors or pastoral counselors on staff. Any information reported to a GU/MSB official will be held in confidence at the victim’s or witness’s request.

Response to a reported crime
 
Upon being informed of a crime, school officials and administrators will notify appropriate law enforcement agencies. Non-emergency notifications will be made through the campus director. Emergency notifications and any crime requiring immediate investigation will be reported directly to the appropriate police departments. A record of all reported crimes will be maintained in the office of the campus director. School officials will notify the students and employees of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business regarding the occurrence of a crime within 72 hours of being informed of the crime. This notification will be sent via email to all employees and students.
 
Law enforcement authority
 
The ultimate authority for law enforcement on campus is the local police department. GU/MSB is authorized to detain suspected criminal offenders and contact the local police. GU/MSB officials have the authority to contact the local police to request assistance in preventing or reacting to crime within or in the immediate vicinity of school facilities. The campus director is the campus coordinator of security issues. The individuals mentioned above are not authorized to arrest individuals but do have the authority to detain suspected criminal offenders if it is deemed safe to do so. The officials at GU/MSB have a strong, working relationship with the local police and work in partnership to offer students and employees the safest possible environment. GU/MSB also maintains a relationship with the state police. In addition to helping provide a safe environment, other reasons to maintain close working relationships with the state and local police are to ensure that the statistics disclosed to students and employees are accurate and to ensure that should there be a risk to the campus community. GU/MSB can issue timely warning reports to the campus community.

Programs on campus security procedures and crime prevention
 
At the time of enrollment or employment and annually thereafter, students and employees of GU/MSB receive information regarding campus security procedures. The school newsletter will also publish information regarding personal security measures. In addition, at quarterly orientation sessions, the campus director will present information regarding the prevention of crimes. All new students and all employees are required to attend the quarterly orientation sessions.
 
Students and school employees are encouraged to be aware that they are responsible for their own security and the security of others. School officials and local police officers are available to discourage crime on campus and assist crime victims but individuals should be aware that the best prevention for crime is to avoid at-risk situations. The following simple guidelines can help individuals decrease the potential of being victimized:
  1. Do not leave personal items unattended or out of sight.
  2. Do not bring expensive items or larger than necessary amounts of money to school.
  3. Minimize time spent alone in isolated areas.
  4. Know where and how to obtain assistance if you need it.
  5. If you have a concern for your personal safety while on campus, see the receptionist and an escort will be provided for you.
  6. Report suspicious or unusual activity to a school administrator or the receptionist. The receptionist will immediately pass along this information to the appropriate authorities.
  7. Lock your car and take the keys with you.
Monitoring and recording criminal activity
 
All reported crimes and other security problems are directed to the office of the campus director for entry into the official school crime log. Statistics are gathered on a quarterly basis from the local police department and the state police departments to ensure the statistics are accurate and the information is provided in a timely manner to the campus community. The timely reporting requirement is to provide the information to the campus community should there be some degree of risk to the campus community. This information is posted on the student bulletin boards and sent electronically to students and instructors. Individuals responsible for collecting and disseminating this information are listed in the Reporting a Crime section of this document. In addition, information is compiled annually in compliance with definitions used in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting System, Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and the Training Guide for Hate Crime Collection. This information is reported electronically to the US Department of Education in the annual security report, which is due October 1st of each year and contains the required crime statistics for the three calendar years preceding the year in which the report is disclosed.
