WAGNER COLLEGE PROCEDURES FOR COLLEGE-SPONSORED STUDENT TRAVEL FOR CLERY ACT COMPLIANCE:

 

Wagner College sponsors numerous opportunities to support and enhance student learning through domestic and international travel. Faculty and staff who are responsible for coordinating travel or traveling with students need to be aware of the college’s obligations for student safety.

The Clery Act is a federal law, monitored by the Department of Education, that requires Wagner College to be transparent about campus safety. The Act requires standard safety policies and protocols and specifies the geographic parameters for crime reporting. Under the Clery Act, Wagner College is required to annually collect and publish statistics on crimes occurring on campus and on non-campus property. Non-campus property is defined in the Act as property outside the contiguous border of the campus “owned or controlled” by the college.

Wagner College-sponsored global education programs are subject to the reporting requirements of the Clery Act. This document summarizes the requirements of the Clery Act as they relate to any international or off-campus initiative and defines the responsibilities of Wagner Staff, Administrators or Faculty traveling too.

Campus Security Authority-The law defines “Campus Security Authority” as: “An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings.”

See links at Wagner Campus Safety, Mandatory Reporters at https://wagner.edu/campus-safety/campus-security-report/

A non-campus property is defined as “Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic areas of the institution.”

The buildings and properties Wagner College uses for international or off-campus programs (i.e., classroom space, student accommodations for long or short-term programs) are non-campus properties. Wagner College is required by law to report crimes that occur in such locations.

Reportable Incidents

The criminal offenses for which we are required to disclose statistics are murder/non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, liquor law violations, drug abuse violations and weapons: carrying, possessing, etc.

We are also required to report statistics for bias-related (hate) crimes for the following offenses: murder/non-negligent manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson. Additionally, larceny-theft, vandalism, intimidation, simple assault, and damage/destruction/vandalism of property, if they are related to a hate crime, must also be reported.

Summary and Responsibilities

In order to be compliant with Clery Act requirements, every Wagner College-sponsored international or off-campus program must:

Designate a “Campus Security Authority” for each trip;

Have the “Campus Security Authority” report incidents that occur in or on non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Wagner

 

Title IX & Study Abroad:

Sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking prevention information:

Policy

Wagner College strives to create a respectful, safe, healthy, and non-threatening environment for its students, staff, and faculty. Wagner College prohibits any and all discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation including gender identity, marital status, civil union status, age, physical or mental disability, military status, or unfavorable discharge from military service in regard to the administration of educational programs, admission of students, employment actions, athletics or other sponsored activities. In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the College prohibits discrimination based on sex, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and sexual violence, as well as retaliation for asserting such claims of discrimination. When an incident of sexual misconduct is reported, the College will provide a consistent, caring, and timely response.

This policy describes how the College investigates and responds to reports of sexual misconduct. It also identifies prohibited behavior, provides guidance and relevant resources to members of the Wagner College community who have been involved in incidents of this nature, and lists College prevention efforts.

Wagner College urges those who believe they have been the victim of an act(s) of sexual misconduct to pursue all options available relative to resolving the matter. Employees of the College who become aware of an incident of sexual misconduct should contact the Director of Human Resources if the situation involves a College employee, or the Vice President of Campus Life if students are involved.

A student who has questions, concerns, or who needs assistance relative to this policy should contact the Vice President of Campus Life Office and speak with the Sexual Misconduct Response Coordinator (Vice President Ruta Shah-Gordon) or another Dean during normal business hours at 718-390-4126, or by contacting the Residential Education Supervisor On-Call during evening and weekend hours, accessible through any residence hall front desk or through a Campus Safety officer accessible through the Main Gate at 718-390-3148.

Complaints by or against College employees (faculty, administration, and staff) should be made to Jazzmine Clark-Glover , Director of Human Resources and the College’s Title IX Coordinator, at 718-390-3280.

Education & Prevention

Wagner College is committed to education and increasing awareness of students, faculty, and staff about preventing incidents of sexual misconduct. The Title IX Coordinators are responsible for coordinating the College’s sexual misconduct education and prevention program in collaboration with the Center for Health and Wellness, which coordinates the Peer Education Program.

Education and prevention resources and opportunities include:

  • Wagner College’s Title IX Coordinators
  • The Vice President of Campus Life Office, the Office of Residential Education, and the Center for Health and Wellness distribute sexual misconduct/assault prevention materials and information.
  • The staff members in the Division of Campus Life and in Campus Safety, including the undergraduate Resident Assistants, are trained in sexual assault response and prevention.
  • The Red Riding Hood Project is a non-profit organization with a chapter on the Wagner College campus that exists to create a community that can provide security, awareness, and empowerment to women by advocating for policy change, providing resources, and basically giving women the power, voice and kick-ass abilities to protect themselves and their fellow sisters.
  • The Healthy Relationships Peer Education group, which offers an educational sexual assault prevention workshop free of charge to anyone in the Wagner community.
  • Educational programming is conducted within the Wagner College residential communities.

Resources & Services

There are campus and community resources and services available to students, faculty and staff even if College or criminal reports are not made. The College strongly encourages survivors to seek assistance to care for themselves emotionally and physically through confidential crisis intervention, health care, and counseling. Survivors should keep in mind that medical examinations are time-sensitive and critical in preserving evidence of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, so those options must be exercised as soon as possible.

Violent Felony Offenses:

The Department of Campus Safety will aggressively pursue the prompt, efficient, and thorough investigation resolution of any violent crime on College owned, operated or controlled property. The Department will take the following steps after a report of a violent felony offense:

  • Responding officers will determine if the circumstances require immediate intervention in order to prevent further injury to victims or to insure the apprehension of offenders.

Bias and Hate Crimes:

Bias or hate crimes are crimes motivated by the perpetrator’s bias or attitude against an individual victim or group based on perceived or actual personal characteristics, such as their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Hate/bias crimes have received renewed attention in recent years, particularly since the passage of the federal Hate/Bias Crime Reporting Act of 1990 and the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000.

Bias related incidents are behaviors which constitute an expression of hostility, against the person or property of another because of the targeted person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, or disability. According to New York Penal Law Section 485, a person commits a hate crime when he or she commits a specified criminal offense and either:

  1. intentionally selects the person against whom the offense is committed or intended to be committed in whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception regarding the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct, or
  2. intentionally commits the act or acts constituting the offense in whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception regarding the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct.

Examples of hate crimes may include, but are not limited to: threatening phone calls, hate mail (including electronic mail), physical assaults, vandalism, destruction of property, and fire bombings. Wagner is required to report statistical incidence of bias crimes on or around campus annually as part of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act). Bias crime statistics can be found in the campus safety annual report.

Penalties for bias related crimes are very serious and range from fines to imprisonment for lengthy periods, depending on the nature of the underlying criminal offense, the use of violence or previous conviction of the offender. Students, staff or faculty who commit bias crimes are also subject to university disciplinary procedures where a range of sanctions is available both up to and including suspension, expulsion or termination of employment.

In order to effectively handle and investigate incidents of bias related crimes and prevent future occurrences of such crimes, victims or witnesses of a hate crime are encouraged to immediately report incidents to the Department of Campus Safety by:

Please remember that any evidence such as graffiti, emails, written notes or voice mail messages should be preserved. The Department of Campus Safety will investigate and follow the appropriate college adjudication procedures. Victims of bias crime can also avail themselves of counseling and support services through: Campus Life: 718 390-3423, Campus Wellness Department-718 390-3354

Credit Card

Credit Card Solicitation is prohibited. The selling of any item by anyone other than college personnel is prohibited unless the college has granted prior approval.

Fire Safety

All residence halls are protected by fire detection and firefighting equipment. All residents should be familiar with the emergency escape plan for their residence hall and the location of fire extinguishers.

Tampering with any fire detection or firefighting equipment is a violation of state laws as well as college policy. Tampering with fire equipment (extinguishers, detectors, sprinklers, etc.) can create a life-threatening situation by preventing the equipment from properly detecting a possible fire, or the ability to attempt to extinguish or control a fire before additional equipment can arrive.

Candles and incense are a fire hazard and are not permitted in the residence halls or apartments. Combustible materials such as gasoline, paint thinner, and oil lamps are not permitted within the residential facilities. Fire safety codes require strict compliance with this regulation. Propane grills are prohibited.

Never Fight a Fire:

  • If the fire is spreading beyond the spot where it started.
  • If you can’t fight the fire with your back to an escape exit.
  • If the fire can block your only escape.
  • If you don’t have adequate fire-fighting equipment

In any of these situations……

Don’t fight the fire yourself. Call for Help!

Always:

  • Make sure the fire doors in halls and stair wells are closed at all times.
  • Extinguish all cigarettes and matches and empty wastebaskets often.
  • Close door to your room when you retire. Exit when fire alarm sounds!!!!

NEVER:

  • Smoke in bed.
  • Smoke in your room.
  • Burn candles.
  • Allow an open flame (cigarette, candle, torch, etc.) or cooking appliance (coffee pot, hot plate, etc.) near common combustible material, i.e., wood, paper, textiles, or flammable liquid.
  • Ignore fire alarm.

Fire and Emergency Evacuation Procedures

There will be times that the Residential Education Department will conduct scheduled Fire Alarm Evacuation Drills at the dormitories on campus. These drills will usually not be announced to the residents with the exception of the RA’s. These drills are done to check that the alarm system is working properly and to give the residents a chance to hear the alarm and so they will be able to recognize it in the event of an actual alarm. The alarm systems in the buildings have a loud audible bell or horn, and flashing strobe lights. These tests also give the residents an opportunity to become familiar with the evacuation procedures.

When an alarm is activated there are a few steps to follow:

  • Remain calm and close the windows in the room.
  • Take only clothing that will be needed for the type of weather conditions that exist. Do not try and collect personal items to take with you.
  • Turn off any electrical items you may have on at the time.
  • Stay low if you are going through smoke or toxic fumes.
  • Leave by the nearest exit. When a fire alarm is active any door to the building may be used to exit so long as it is safe to do so.
  • Do not use elevators. Use only the stairs.
  • Never attempt to go back into the building even if the alarm stops sounding. Wait until a Campus Safety Officer has cleared the building and given the permission to re-enter.
  • In an actual emergency if you are trapped and not able to exit a room or the building, yell for help and call the Department of Campus Safety at ext. 3148 using a phone in the building or your cellular phone dial 718-390-3148. Be sure you can give your location in the building as best as you can so an officer can locate and assist you.

Missing Persons

“Suzanne’s Law” amends Section 3701 (a) of the Crime Control Act of 1990 so that there is no waiting period before a law enforcement agency initiates an investigation of a missing person under the age of twenty one and reports the missing person to the National Crime Information Center of the Department of Justice.

“Suzanne’s Law” is named after Suzanne Lyall a student at State University of New York at Albany, who has been missing since 1998. Previously, police were only mandated to report missing persons under the age of eighteen. This law was signed by President Bush as part of the national Amber Alert bill on April 30, 2003, requires police to initiate prompt investigation into missing young people.

Wagner College complies with this law and will immediately report such missing persons to the NCIC. In accordance with the Higher Education Act of 2008, all students may register a confidential contact with the Dean of Students Office. The confidential contact does not have to be a parent of a student. This is the individual who will be contacted by police in the event the student is reported missing. This individual will be updated as to the progress of the investigation into the missing person. In the event a student is under 18 years of age, and had not been legally emancipated, the student’s parents will also be contacted.

Missing Persons Policy

Wagner College takes student safety very seriously. The following policy and procedure has been established to assist in locating Wagner College students who live on campus housing, who, based on the fact and circumstances known to Wagner College have been determined to be missing.

Dean of Students Information to Resident Students

At the beginning of each academic year, Wagner College Dean of Students will inform all students residing in on campus housing that the Dean of Students will notify either a parent or an individual selected by the student not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is deemed to be missing. The information provided to the resident students will include the following:

  • Resident students have the option of identifying an individual to be contacted by the Dean of Students not later than 24 hours after the time that the student has been determined to be missing. Students can register this confidential contact information through the Dean of Students Office.
  • If the student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, the Dean of Students is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined to be missing.
  • The Department of Campus Safety will notify the appropriate local law enforcement agency not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined to be missing.
  • If the Department of Campus Safety and/or the local law enforcement agency has been notified and makes a determination that a student who is the subject of a missing person report has been missing for more than 24 hours and has not returned to campus, the Dean of Students will initiate the emergency contact procedure in accordance with the student’s designation.

Department of Campus Safety

  • The Department of Campus Safety upon notification of a missing student will conduct a thorough investigation and obtain all necessary information. The person’s description, clothes, who they may be with or where they may be, vehicle description and physical and mental wellbeing of the individual will be obtained.
  • The Department of Campus Safety will conduct a quick, but thorough search of the campus buildings and parking lots using the student’s class schedule.
  • The Department of Campus Safety will also check access card logs to determine the last time the ID card was used as well as any surveillance video.
  • The Department of Campus Safety may also request assistance from Resident Assistants or others to assist in a search on campus. The Department of Campus Safety may issue an ID card photograph to assist in the identification of the missing student.
  • After a search has been conducted with negative results, the Department of Safety will notify the local law enforcement agency.
