- INTRODUCTION

Concordia University publishes this report in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (as amended in October 1998). The Clery Act requires institutions to prepare, publish, and distribute an annual security report containing specific information about campus security policies and campus crime statistics. The Concordia University Campus Safety Office is responsible for preparing and distributing this report in accordance with the Clery Act.

The Campus Safety Office works with many other departments and agencies to compile the information required for this report. Other campus offices such as Residence Life, Student Life, Athletics, Maintenance, etc., all provide critical information concerning campus security policies and campus crime and fire statistics for inclusion in this report.

The City of Mequon Police Department also provides information concerning crime statistics for disclosure in the report. We encourage all members of the Concordia University community to use this report as a guide for safe practices on and off-campus. It outlines campus policies and provides important safety and crime prevention tips.

If you are a victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the University’s Student Conduct system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. With your permission, the director or designee of the Concordia University Campus Safety Department can file a report on the details of an incident without revealing your identity except for Title IX violations.

The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the University can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, determine where there is a pattern of crime in regard to a particular location, method, or assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics for the university.

Crimes can be reported in person without providing your name, via telephone, email or by completing an Anonymous Tip Form available online at: https://www.cuw.edu/departments/campussafety/tipform.cfm

Additionally, you may make an anonymous report to the Mequon Police Department online through use of their Tip411 system. To make an anonymous report online to the Mequon Police Department, visit

As a result of the negotiated rulemaking process which followed the signing into law, the 1998 amendments to 20 U.S.C. Section 1092 (f), clarification was given to those considered to be campus security authorities.

Campus “Pastoral Counselors” and campus “Professional Counselors”, when acting as such, are not considered to be a campus security authority and are not required to report crimes for the inclusion into the annual

disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of policy, they are encouraged, if and when they deem appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into the annual crime statistics.

The rulemaking committee defines counselors as:

Pastoral Counselor

An employee of the institution, who is associated with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling and who is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.

Professional Counselor

An employee of an institution whose official responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to members of the institution’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification.

The Campus Safety Office maintains a Daily Crime Log as required by the Clery Act. The purpose of the daily crime log is to record criminal incidents, and alleged criminal incidents that are reported to or identified by the Campus Safety Office. This crime log includes all crimes reported to Campus Safety, not just the “Clery Crimes” for which separate statistics are maintained. The Daily Crime Log contains the following information for each crime reported to Campus Safety: Nature of the Crime, Date and Time Reported, Date and Time of Occurrence, General Location, and Disposition if known. The Daily Crime Log must be updated within 2 business days from the date the crime was reported to the Campus Safety Office.

A printed version of the Daily Crime Log is available for viewing in the Campus Safety Office (Rincker Hall Room 023) and also available online at: https://www.cuw.edu/departments/campussafety/index.html.

The Campus Safety Office also maintains a Fire Log as required by the Clery Act. This log contains information on any fire that occurs in an on-campus student housing facility. The Fire Log includes the following information: Date Reported, Nature of the Fire, Date and Time of the Fire and General Location of the fire.

A printed version of the Fire Log is available for viewing in the Campus Safety Office (Rincker Hall Room 023) and also available online at: https://www.cuw.edu/departments/campussafety/index.html.

The Concordia University Wisconsin Campus Safety Office is located near the commuter lounge in Rinker Hall room R023 and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Campus Safety Office staff consists of a Director, Assistant Director, and seventeen Campus Safety Officers. Campus Safety Officers are charged with the responsibility of enforcing University policies and procedures, emergency response conducting

investigations, crime prevention, administration of parking permits and the overall security of the university. Campus Safety Officers do not have arrest powers, though they may detain a person for law enforcement agencies in certain circumstances. Campus Safety Officers who have completed the State of Wisconsin Basic Police Recruit training are authorized to carry firearms on campus during the course of their duty. All Campus Safety Officers receive annual training in basic defensive tactics and use of Oleoresin Capsicum (O.C.) spray. The Campus Safety Office maintains a strong working relationship with the City of Mequon Police Department, Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Department as well as other local public safety agencies and federal authorities. All crime victims and witnesses are strongly encouraged to immediately report the crime to the Campus Safety Office or the appropriate police agency. Prompt reporting will assure timely warning notices are broadcasted when necessary as well as accurate disclosure of crime statistics.

Campus Safety Officers and officers from the Mequon Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies communicate regularly on the scene of incidents that occur on the Concordia University Wisconsin campus. Campus Safety staff work closely with the Mequon Police Department when incidents arise that require joint investigative efforts, resources, crime related reports and exchanges of information as deemed necessary. There is no written memorandum of understanding between Concordia University Wisconsin and the Mequon Police Department or any other local law enforcement agency.

Operation Identification

This nationally organized program encourages engraving personal identification numbers on valuable property. Thieves tend to shy away from property with engraved or permanently marked items due to the difficulty in selling it on the “open” market. If an item is stolen and later recovered, the identification number will assist law enforcement agencies in locating and returning the property to the rightful owner. This program is on-going and any person interested in having their property engraved/marked can stop at Campus Safety to use an engraver.

Campus Escort Program

Campus Safety Officers are available 24 hours a day to provide an escort to, or from any location on the Concordia University campus. Please be patient when calling as officers may be busy handling other calls. Escorts provided may be a "walking" escort and if requested from a parking area, will generally be to the closest building.

Student Orientation

Campus Safety Officers meet with new students and their parents throughout the calendar year at orientation events. Topics discussed include, general safety tips, lost and found property, parking on campus, escort availability, building access and a question/answer segment from those in attendance.

10:

International Student Orientation

Campus Safety Officers speak to new International Students at the beginning of each semester during their orientation events. Topics discussed include, general safety tips and information on the rules of the road, lost and found property, escort availability, building access and a question/answer segment from the students.

Safety Tips Brochure

Campus Safety regularly publishes a safety tips brochure available to the Concordia community. This brochure includes personal protection tips, protecting your property and parking lot and vehicle safety.

Social Awareness

Social awareness programs are offered annually through a cooperative effort of the Student Life Office, Community Activities Board, and the Counseling Center. These programs include the impaired driving awareness, sexual assault awareness, depression awareness, as well as others.

S

A

At the beginning of each semester during orientation sessions, students are informed of services offered by the Concordia University Campus Safety Office. Students are told about crime on campus and in the surrounding area. Crime prevention and sexual assault prevention programs are available by request.

Periodically during the academic year the Campus Safety Office, in cooperation with other University

organizations and departments, present awareness sessions on alcohol abuse, date rape drugs, personal safety and residence hall security, etc. A common theme of all awareness and prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others. In addition to these programs, information is disseminated to students and employees through use of a safety tips brochure published by Campus Safety, security alert posters and messages sent out via email.

In an effort to provide timely notice to the Concordia University community, and in event of a serious incident which may pose a threat to our community, the Campus Safety Office will issue bulletins in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes.

A warning will be issued when a crime occurs on or off campus that constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat to community members. The warning will be issued through the university email system to all students and employees. The warnings are usually issued for the following crimes: arson, aggravated assault, and criminal homicide, robbery, and sex offenses. They may also be issued for other crimes as deemed necessary.

Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime, especially in all situations the could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the Campus Safety Office may also be delivered through use of the P.A. system, emergency text message system (Rave mobile), cable television interrupt, additional campus wide emails, voice mails on the University’s phone system, postings in residential halls or a combination of the above listed. Additionally, the warning and additional information may be posted on the university website

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the Campus Safety Office by phone (262-243-4344 or Ext: 4344 from an on campus phone), in person at the Campus Safety Office (Rincker Hall Rm. 023), or by use of the online anonymous tip form

(https://www.cuw.edu/departments/campussafety/tipform.cfm). It should be noted that an institution is not required to provide a timely warning with respect to crimes reported to a pastoral or professional counselor.

Concordia University publishes general information related to emergency response and evacuation procedures each year as part of the institutions annual Clery Report. All university community members are notified on an annual basis that they should report any significant emergency or dangerous situation that may present an immediate or ongoing threat to the health and safety of students or employee on campus to the Campus Safety Office as soon as possible.

Campus Safety has the responsibility of responding to, and contacting additional resources to mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In addition, Campus Safety has the responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does in fact pose a threat to the community. If that is the case, Federal Law requires that Concordia immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation. First responders to a serious incident are usually Campus safety Officers, Environmental Health and Safety Office personnel. Depending on the nature of the incident, local, state and /or federal agencies may also respond.

If Campus Safety confirms that there is an emerge or dangerous situation that poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all members of the university community, Campus Safety may collaborate with employees from the Student Life, Information Technology, Maintenance, University Relations and Marketing offices, without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the judgment of the first responders (including Police, Fire, EMS personnel), compromise the efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to the members of the Concordia community, the University has various systems in place for communicating information quickly. Some or all of these methods of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the campus community. These methods of communication include use of the campus P.A. system, emergency text message system (Rave mobile), cable television interrupt, additional campus wide emails, voice mails on the University’s phone system, postings in residential halls or a combination of the above listed. Additionally, the warning and additional information may be posted on the university website (www.cuw.edu) and the announcements channel of the portal (my.cuw.edu, user account required for access). Students and employees can sign up to receive

emergency text messages online by logging into the university portal (my.cuw.edu) and following the “Concordia Safety Net – Text Message Alerts” link which can be found on the Employee, Student, and Campus Life tabs. During certain emergency conditions, it may be necessary to evacuate a building. Pre-planning and rehearsal are effective ways to ensure that building occupants recognize the evacuation alarm and know how to respond. Practicing an evacuation during a non-emergency drill provides training that will be valuable during and after an emergency situation.

12:

Students and visitors to a building may not know what procedures to follow during an emergency. The class instructor is responsible for providing pertinent information both at the beginning of the semester and at the time of the evacuation to ensure that students evacuate the building in a safe manner.

Building Evacuation

1. All building evacuations will occur when an alarm sounds and/or upon notification by Campus Safety or Resident Director in the case of Residence Halls.

2. During an emergency leave by the nearest marked exit and alert others to do the same in a calm, orderly manner.

3. ASSIST THE HANDICAPPED IN EXITING THE BUILDING! Remember that elevators are reserved for handicapped individuals. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS IN CASES OF FIRE AND/OR EARTHQUAKE.

DO NOT PANIC.

4. Once outside, proceed to the designated assembly area for your department, class or residence hall. Designated areas must be at least 500 feet from the building. Keep streets, fire lanes, hydrant areas and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.

5. Do not return to an evacuated building unless told to do so by Campus Safety.

6. IMPORTANT: After any evacuation, report to your designated assembly area. Stay there until an accurate headcount is taken. Designated University staff will assist in the accounting for all building occupants.

Campus Evacuation

1. Evacuation of all or part of the campus grounds will be announced by Campus Safety through use of the public address (P.A.) system.

2. All persons (students and staff) are to immediately vacate the affected area and relocate to another part of the campus grounds as directed by Campus Safety.

Evacuation Protocol:

Prior to an evacuation announcement, Campus Safety will determine if the best course of action is to evacuate or shelter in place, based upon the incident. Once that decision has been made, an announcement will be made to the affected areas by use of the P.A. system with instructions for those affected. Personnel from Campus Safety, Residence Life and Maintenance Department will aid in facilitating the evacuation to the appropriate evacuation location.

Upon the arrival of the outside emergency service agency (Police, Fire, EMS), Campus Safety shall transfer authority to the responding agency and shall cooperate and provide information or assistance as requested.

Evacuation/Refuge Plan for Persons with Disabilities

Emergency personnel are usually available to assist with evacuations though this may not always be the case. Those with mobility or other concerns that would make independent evacuation difficult are encouraged to make alternative plans and arrangements in advance to increase the likelihood that they will be able to exit the

building safely in the event of an emergency.

Individuals with mobility concerns should become familiar with their classroom, office or residence hall area by locating exits, stairwells, elevators, fire-fighting equipment, fire alarms and established areas of safe refuge.

NOTE: Places of refuge can be in a protected stairwell or a room within the structure generally used in fire

situations. Ideally, these areas are especially constructed to resist smoke and heat or equipped with a sprinkler system. Existing buildings may not have adequate landings within the stairwells or have rooms that are smoke and/or heat resistant. For such buildings, places of refuge should still be established as close to the exit stairwell as possible. These rooms should be marked with a sign on the corridor side identifying it as a place of refuge.

14:

For those who have difficulty speaking or those with hearing impairments who have difficulty judging volume, it may be useful to carry a whistle or a similar device for the purpose of announcing their location to emergency services personnel who will be attempting to search for those in need of assistance.

Advise others (supervisors, administrators, instructors, colleagues, fellow students) about any concerns that you may have related to emergency exiting and how they can assist you in the event of an emergency. This can include assistance to exits, areas of refuge and altering emergency services of your location.

Assisting Those with Disabilities, Evacuation Guidelines

It is recommended that each department establish a “buddy” system in which volunteers and alternates are recruited and paired with persons who have self-identified disabilities that would create special evacuation needs. Volunteers should become familiar with the special evacuation needs of their buddies and plan to alert and assist them if an evacuation is ordered.

Persons with Visual Impairments

In the event of an emergency, tell the person the nature of the emergency and offer to guide him/her. As you walk, tell the person where you are and advise of any obstacles. Do not grasp a visually impaired person’s arm. Offer your arm for guidance.

Persons with Hearing Impairments

Not all fire systems have a flashing light. Most are sound alarms. Therefore, persons with impaired hearing may not be aware of emergency alarms and an alternative warning technique is required. Two methods of warning are:

 Writing a note telling what the emergency is and the nearest evacuation route/safe staging area.  Tapping the person on the shoulder or turning the light switch on and off to gain attention, then

indicating through gestures, or in writing, what is happening and what to do.

Persons Using Crutches, Canes or Walkers

If the person is having difficulty exiting quickly, treat him/her as if injured for evacuation purposes. Carrying options include using a two-person, lock-arm position, or having the person sit in a sturdy chair, preferably with arms. For level travel, an office chair with wheels could be utilized.

Non-Ambulatory Persons

The needs and preferences of non-ambulatory persons will vary. Most non-ambulatory persons will be able to exit safely without assistance if on the ground floor. Some people have minimal ability to move and lifting them may be painful and/or injurious. Frequently, non-ambulatory persons have respiratory complications. Remove them from smoke or fumes immediately.

Always consult the person as to his/her preference with regard to:  Ways of being removed from the wheelchair.

 The number of people necessary for assistance.  Whether to extend or move extremities when lifting.

 Whether a seat cushion or pad should be brought along if he/she is removed from the chair.  Being carried forward or backward on a flight of stairs

Extended Evacuation Procedures

In the event the campus community return to normal for an extended period of time, those who are able to leave the premises will be advised to do so once they have been accounted for by their department or Residence Life. Those who must remain on site will be provided emergency shelter in a safe location once the premises has been expected, secured and acknowledged as safe by law enforcement or fire officials and Campus Safety. Contingency emergency plans with area hospitals and schools will be activated when deemed necessary.

Evacuation Locations

In the event of an emergency that required evacuation occurring in an on campus residence hall, students/employees/visitors would report to one of the two listed gathering points.

Shelter in Place

Some kinds of chemical accidents or attacks may make going outdoors dangerous. Leaving the area might take too long or put you in harm’s way. In such a case it may be safer for you to stay indoors than to go outside.

“Shelter in Place” means to make a shelter out of the place you are in. It is a way for you to make the building

as safe as possible to protect yourself until help arrives. You should not try to shelter in a vehicle unless you have no other choice. Vehicles are not airtight enough to give you adequate protection from chemicals.

Step 1: Notification from Campus Safety

 In the event of a chemical or biological release that would require protective actions be taken by campus residents, Campus Safety would be notified by the city/county of the incident.

16:

 A variety of notification methods will be used to inform all Concordia University employees and students of the protective action alert.

 Those university buildings that are equipped with voice public address systems will use them to notify occupants of any imminent danger, and give direction on what to do.

 DO NOT PANIC.

Step 2: Close Doors and Windows

 Do not exit the building.

 If possible move to interior, windowless room on an upper floor.  Close all doors to the outside and lock all windows.

 Wet towels or other fabric items and jam them in the crack under the door. Use plastic (trash bags are good) to cover all windows and doors. Use tape to seal the edges of plastic.

Step 3: Seal off Ventilation Sources

 Turn off fume hoods, range hoods, air handlers, and all air conditioners. Switch inlets to the "closed" position.

 Seal off all vents, grills, or other openings to the outside to the extent possible.

 Minimize the use of the elevators in the building. These tend to "pump" outdoor air in and out of a building as they travel up and down.

 If you become bothered by the gaseous release hold a wet cloth or handkerchief over your nose and mouth.

 If you experience breathing difficulties contact Campus Safety (262-243-4344 or Ext: 4344 from any on campus phone) and request immediate medical assistance.

Step 4: Remain Indoors

 Monitor the local media for further information and guidance.

 Do not evacuate the building unless told to do so by Campus Safety, Mequon Police or Mequon Fire Department officials.

An evacuation drill is coordinated by the University Environmental Health and Safety Officer, Residence Life staff and Campus Safety each semester for all on campus residential facilities. Thus, the emergency response and evacuation procedures are tested at least twice each year. Students learn the locations of the emergency exits in the buildings and are provided guidance about the direction they should travel when exiting each facility for a short-term building evacuation. Resident students are not made aware of the designated evacuation locations in advance as those decisions are affected by time of day, location of the building being evacuated, the availability of the various designated emergency gathering locations on campus and other factors such as the location and nature of the threat. In all cases, Campus Safety and Residence Life staff on scene will provide information to students regarding the developing situation or any evacuation status change.

The purpose of evacuation drills is to prepare building occupants for an organized evacuation in case of an emergency. Evacuations drills are used as a way to educate and train residents on issues specific to the building they reside in. In addition to educating the building residents regarding the evacuation procedures, the process also provides the University an opportunity to test the operation of fire alarm system components. These evacuation drills are monitored by Campus Safety, Residence Life and the Environmental Health and Safety Officer to evaluate building egress and behavioral patterns.

Resident students receive information about evacuation routes and procedures during their first “hall meetings” and during other education sessions that they can participate in throughout the year. Each residence hall room contains a map showing the primary and secondary evacuation routes for that specific building and/or floor. The Environmental Health and Safety Officer maintains documentation of each test and drill including the description of the test/drill, the date and time and whether it was announced or unannounced.

Policy statement

If a member of the University community has reason to believe that a student is missing, he or she must immediately notify the office of Campus safety. Campus Safety will generate a missing person report and initiate an investigation, and if the person is determined to be missing, will initiate the required notifications as per federal and state laws. This policy has been reviewed and approved by the Vice President of Student Life, Mr. Steve Taylor.

Purpose

Federal law requires that the University establish a policy on reporting a student missing from on-campus student housing, how students can designate a missing person contact person, and how the missing person contact information will be used.

Policy

In compliance with the Missing Student Procedures 20 USC 1092 (j) (Section 488 of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008), it is the policy of Concordia University to thoroughly investigate any report of a missing student who resides on-campus at Concordia University. This policy, with its accompanying procedures, establishes a framework for cooperation among members of the University community aimed at locating and assisting students who are reported missing.

A student shall be deemed missing when he or she is reported absent from the University for more than 24 hours without any known reason. All reports of missing students shall be directed to Concordia University Campus Safety which shall investigate each report and make a determination whether the student is missing in accordance with this policy.

Each student living in an on-campus student housing facility has the option to register confidential contact

information in the event that the student is determined to be missing for a period of more than 24 hours. Only

authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers in furtherance of a missing person investigation may have access to this information.

If a missing student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, the university is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian of the missing student not later than 24 hours after the determination by Campus Safety that the student is missing.

Campus Safety will also notify the Mequon Police Department and/or other law enforcement agencies no later than 24 hours after it has been determined that the student is missing.

If Campus safety 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 the campus, the University will initiate the emergency contact procedures in accordance with the student’s designation.

18:

Notification: Any report of a missing student, from whatever source, should immediately be directed to the Campus Safety Office.

When a student is reported missing Campus Safety shall:

1. Initiate an investigation to determine the validity of the missing person report; 2. Contact the Dean of Students;

3. Make a determination as to the status of the missing student;

4. Notify the Mequon Police Department (262-243-4344) or other appropriate law enforcement agencies within 24 hours after determining that the student is missing.

a. Regardless of whether the student has named a confidential missing student contact person under this policy, Campus Safety will notify any appropriate law enforcement agencies in compliance with all statutory requirements and no later than 24 hours after the time the individual is determined missing.

5. Concordia University may issue community notice(s), including photograph(s) of the student, to assist in locating a missing student.

When contacted by Campus Safety, the Dean of Students shall:

1. Notify the Director of Residence Life and the Vice President of Student Life

2. If Campus Safety determines that the student is missing, the Dean of Students will notify the individual identified by the missing student as the emergency contact within 24 hours of making the determination that the student is missing;

3. If the missing student is under the age of 18, and not an emancipated individual, notify the student’s custodial parent or guardian as contained in the records of the University within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing.

4. The Dean of Students shall initiate whatever action he or she deems appropriate under the circumstances in the best interest of the missing student.

Student Contact Information:

Students who be living in on campus housing will complete the Missing Student Contact Information Form at Orientation or when they move into any on campus housing facility. This form must be completed at the beginning of each semester. It is the responsibility of the student to update any changes to contact information. Campus Safety maintains the Missing Student contact information forms in the Campus Safety Office (Rincker Hall, Room 023). Campus Safety is responsible for maintaining missing student contact notice documentation in accordance with record retention requirements outlined in the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC 1092(f)). Campus Safety and Residence Life staff will assist students living in on campus housing in completing and updating the Missing Student Confidential Contact form.

Student Notification of This Policy:

This policy is available to students for review through the Concordia University portal (my.cuw.edu) and the Campus Safety page of the University website (www.cuw.edu/departments/campussafety). Notice of this policy is also sent electronically to all students residing on campus. Additionally, this policy is included in the

University’s Annual Campus Security Report as required by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crimes Act and is discussed with students residing on campus by Residence Life staff during mandatory housing meetings.

Who to Report a Missing Student To:

You are not restricted as to who to report a missing student to. Any university staff/faculty member can accept your information and forward the report to the Campus Safety Office. You may also contact any of the below listed individuals to University employees to report a missing student:

Access to campus buildings and grounds is a privilege extended to students, faculty, staff, and authorized guests. The University encourages an open environment with limited constraints to ensure reasonable

protection of all members of the community. Except for the housing corridors in on campus residence halls, most campus facilities are open during normal business hours. Individuals who wish to access University buildings or property during non-business hours should contact the appropriate department administrator or the Campus Safety Office. All residence halls are equipped with an automated card access control system on the exterior doors and corridor doors that are used by students to enter their building. Guests and other visitors may visit residence halls as long as they have been authorized by a member of the community. The doors to the housing corridors in the residence halls remain locked 24 hours a day.

Concordia University is committed to campus safety and security. Exterior lighting and landscape control is a critical part of that commitment. Campus Safety Officers conduct routine checks of lighting on campus during regular assigned duties. If lights are out or very dim or other hazardous conditions are found to exist, officers will initiate a service request from the Maintenance Department who will issue a work order for the appropriate repair the problem. As part of their regularly assigned duties, Campus Safety Officers, check fire extinguishers, panic alarms, ADA doors, CCTV systems, One Card Access system, etc., and document their findings and complete a work order for any necessary repairs. We encourage community members to report any deficiency in lighting or potentially hazardous condition to the Maintenance Department at 262-243-4312 or Campus Safety at 262-243-

4344. Concordia University Students and employees can also submit an online maintenance request by logging

into the portal at my.cuw.edu and clicking on the “Resources” tab.

Off Campus Accelerated Locations

In addition to the main campus in Mequon, Wisconsin, Concordia University also has 8 learning center locations throughout Wisconsin and 1 learning center location in St. Louis, Missouri. These off campus centers are open at various times during the week and hours may vary by location and throughout the year. Please consult the

20:

Concordia University Wisconsin website (https://www.cuw.edu/admissions/adult-

Purpose: The purpose of the policy is to facilitate access and remove barriers to students who require medical assistance in alcohol related emergencies, and to provide the opportunity for caring, non-punitive interventions in response to such incidents.

Policy: The Medical Alcohol Amnesty Policy (MAAP) is a key component of the University’s comprehensive approach to reducing the harmful consequences caused by the excessive consumption of alcohol. The MAAP represents the University’s commitment to informed decision making and promotion of healthy behaviors when faced with alcohol-related emergencies. In order to achieve these goals, the MAAP mandates that discretion be exercised, as permitted under the University’s Code of Student Conduct, as follows:

1. Students are expected to contact Resident Hall Staff or Campus Safety when they believe that assistance for an intoxicated/impaired student is needed. Also see Contact Protocol below.

2. At the discretion of the Department of Campus Safety, the Department will assist intoxicated individuals by facilitating transport to medical facilities.

3. In cases of concern for the health and safety of an individual, students should utilize one of the following options: notifying Resident Life Staff, notifying Campus Safety Staff, or by calling 911 for assistance by City Rescue Squad - then notify Campus Safety or Resident Hall Staff.

4. Students seeking assistance for the consumption of alcohol will not be referred through the University’s student conduct system (see #6 below). However, a student will not be granted protection under this policy if campus officials (e.g., Resident Hall Staff, Campus Safety) intervene beforehand.

5. Students who seek emergency assistance on behalf of a person(s) experiencing alcohol-related emergencies will not be referred through the University’s student conduct system (see #6 below). However, a student will not be granted protection under this policy if campus officials (e.g., Resident Hall Staff, Campus Safety) intervene beforehand.

6. Students may be required to participate in an appropriate alcohol assessment and/or educational program depending upon their involvement in the situation. Failure to comply will invalidate protection under this policy.

7. Records of all requests for assistance under this policy shall be maintained by the Office of the Dean of Students. Participation in any program as a result of this policy shall not be noted on the student’s conduct record.

8. This policy does not preclude disciplinary action regarding other violations of the University Code of Student Conduct, such as causing or threatening physical harm, sexual abuse, damage to property, harassment, hazing, etc. Students should also be aware that this policy does not prevent action by local and state authorities.

9. Nothing in this policy shall prevent an individual who is obligated by state or federal law to do so from reporting, charging or taking other action related to the possible criminal prosecution of any student.

10. Students who may have violated the Code of Student Conduct when s/he became a victim of sexual misconduct shall be granted Amnesty. Therefore, an alcohol/drug violation will not be applied to a student who reports that s/he was under the influence at the time of a sexual assault or harassment incident.
