This report is published by the Office of Student Affairs in cooperation with the Office of Facilities Management as required by the United States Department of Education.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act and the

Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and

Campus Crime Statistics Act (The Clery Act)

requires higher education institutions to collect, report and

disseminate reported crime data and information and fire statistics to

the campus community, the Department of Education, and prospective

students and employees. This report contains crime data as classified

by the definitions from the Federal Bureau of Investigations Uniform

Crime Reporting Handbook (UCR). As per Clery Act regulations, this

report contains data from the 2010-2012 calendar years.

Access to Campus Facilities

The main Juilliard building is monitored 24 hours a day by a staff of security guards. A desk at the front entrance is monitored by two security guards. All visitors to the building must be announced. Card-accessed security gates and turnstiles are used to gain entrance beyond the security desk. A secondary entrance is staffed by a security guard. Only faculty, staff, and students with a valid I.D. card may use this entrance. Enrolled students are issued identification cards on an annual basis. Only current students, faculty and staff are in possession of access cards.

Security in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall is supervised by Lincoln Center Security. Individuals must show valid identification to access the elevators to the residence hall or the cafeteria. Twenty-four hour guards are located both at the entrance of the Rose Building and the Meredith Willson Residence Hall. The hall is secured by turnstiles and a gate. A Lincoln Center security guard supervises guest sign-in. Guests must leave photo identification with the guard and be admitted into the building in the presence of a resident host. Resident student identification cards are given additional access for entrance into the hall.

Campus Security

The Juilliard School employs campus security officers. All security officers have received the required training for state certification. In addition to Juilliard’s security personnel, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts employs a large security staff that monitors the Lincoln Center campus, including the Juilliard residence hall and the public areas surrounding the school building. The Juilliard School works cooperatively to resolve safety concerns with Lincoln Center Security to maintain a safe environment. Incidents involving Juilliard community members on Lincoln Center property or crimes committed in the Juilliard School building and residence hall are reported to Lincoln Center Security.

Lincoln Center Security has a cooperative reporting relationship with the 20th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. With assistance from Lincoln Center Security crimes are reported directly to the New York Police Department.

Campus Security Programs

Printed material concerning security procedures and practices are distributed to the community through the Juilliard student, faculty and staff handbooks and Juilliard email. The handbooks describe campus security procedures and practices. New and returning students attend safety workshops during orientation, safety awareness week and throughout the academic year. Workshops on a variety of other topics are provided for the entire community during the school year. These topics include alcohol and drug awareness, personal safety, acquaintance rape and sexual harassment.

Procedures and Facilities for Reporting Criminal Actions

Criminal activity in the main Juilliard building should be reported to the Facilities Management Office, room 232 or the Main Security Desk during non-business hours. An incident report should be filed with the assistance of building staff personnel. In the Meredith Willson Residence Hall, criminal activity should be reported to the 11th Security Desk, Residence Life Office, 11th floor, or to the Office of Student Affairs, room 100. In both cases, criminal activity may be reported to the New York City Police Department by the complainant. In certain cases, the Juilliard administration may choose to file a complaint with the Police Department on behalf of the complainant. Lincoln Center Security is notified of criminal activity when appropriate and may assist with notification to NYPD if necessary. The Provost and Dean; Vice President for Facilities Management; Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Development; Dean of Student Affairs; Director of Human Resources and Assistant Dean for Student Affairs receive copies of all completed incident reports. Other senior administrators are notified of criminal activity on as needed basis.

Juilliard community members may also report criminal activity to a campus security authority. A campus security authority, as defined by federal law, is “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.”

Campus security authorities for the Juilliard School are the Provost and Dean; Vice President for Facilities Management; Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Development; Dean of Student Affairs; Associate Dean for Administration; Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, Residence Hall Director for Community Development, Residence Hall Director of Operations, Coordinator of Student Activities; Residence Life paraprofessional staff and Juilliard Security Officers. Campus security authorities are required to report any information relating criminal activity for timely warnings and/or required statistics.

Procedures for Reporting Emergencies

If there is a Medical Emergencyat any time in the School building, call 911 immediately and then call the Security Desk at extension 246 or 247 (If you call Security first, they will call 911 for you). When 911 is called, a dispatcher will ask for the company name, address to which the ambulance should respond (which is 155 W.65th Street), the patient’s exact location (floor number and specific area), the general nature of the medical emergency, the caller’s name and the callback telephone number. It is important for the 911 dispatcher to be told the general nature of the patient’s illness or whether the patient has been injured (from a fall, in an assault, etc.), so that the paramedics can immediately bring the appropriate equipment and medical supplies from the ambulance to the patient as soon as they arrive on the scene.

If the emergency is during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm) and the injured/ill person is a Juilliard student, Health Services should be notified at extension 282. After business hours and on weekends, Security will notify the appropriate staff members.

If the emergency occurs in the Residence Hall, please note the Security number is (212) 769-7442. The address for the residence hall to which the ambulance should respond to is 165 W. 65th Street. For emergencies other than medical, Security staff will notify the appropriate staff members. Juilliard professional staff receive on-going training to enable them to effectively manage emergency situations.

Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures

The Juilliard School maintains emergency procedure guidelines including a detailed evacuation plan. The Juilliard community is notified of an emergency or dangerous situation through the Juilliard Community Alert System (JCAS), a text messaging program, the school’s public address system, email, the Juilliard website or telephone system depending on the nature of the situation. The crisis management team will determine if an emergency exists and will initiate emergency response procedures or a timely warning notification to the community. The members of the crisis management team include the President, Vice President of Finance and Chief Operating Officer, and Vice President for Facilities Management. The nature of the situation and the safety of the community will determine the type of notification and content of the notification. The Director of Human Resources is responsible for telecommunication messages; the UNIX System Administrator is responsible for text messaging; the Director of Publications is responsible for internet/intranet messages; and the Associate Vice President of Communications is responsible for media, calendar, and Lincoln Center electronic messages.

Crime alerts may also be issued to community as needed and may be issued by the Vice President of Facilities Management, Dean of Student Affairs or Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.

The JCAS System is tested at minimum twice per academic year and fire drills are conducted on a regular basis to test the evacuation procedures, fire alarm, and public address system.

Missing Student Notification

All resident students are given the option upon residence hall move-in to register a confidential contact person to be notified in the case that the student is determined to be missing. This information is available only to authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers. If a student is determined to be missing, the contact person will be notified. Students under the age of 18 years must list a parent or legal guardian as their missing student contact person.

Any individual who believes a student to be missing should report the situation to:

Residence Life Office (212) 769-7400

Office of Student Affairs (212) 799-5000 ext. 200

Juilliard Security (212) 799-5000 ext. 246, x247, x311 or x312 11th Floor Residence Hall Security Desk (212) 769-7442

Reports may also be made to any member of the residence hall staff.

Upon report of a suspected missing student, one of the two Residence Hall Directors, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs or Dean of Student Affairs will initiate an investigation. All reports of missing persons will be reported to Juilliard Security. If direct communication with the alleged missing student cannot be obtained within 24 hours of the initial report, the School will contact local authorities and the student’s contact person.

Off-Campus Activities

The Juilliard School does not recognize any off-campus student organizations. The Juilliard School does not maintain any off campus properties. However, the Juilliard Code of Conduct does acknowledge that off-campus behavior may be subject to Juilliard’s disciplinary procedures.

Alcohol and Drugs

Juilliard enforces New York State drinking laws. Whenever alcohol is served at an event, New York State law is clearly posted on or near the alcohol service area. All attendees over the age of 21 are required to show photo identification. Those identified as being of legal drinking age are given a wrist band which must be shown at the bar to obtain an alcoholic beverage. Events are carefully monitored for underage drinking. Juilliard sponsors responsible drinking and

abstinence programs during the academic school year.

Juilliard’s policy concerning possession, use and sale of illegal drugs states that any student or employee who is found in violation of federal or state laws will face disciplinary action from the school and will face any other penalty required by law. Alcohol and drug education and awareness programs are held periodically throughout the year for the entire community. For assistance with an alcohol or drug concern contact:

The Juilliard School Sexual Misconduct & Harassment Policy

and Adjudication Procedure

The Juilliard School (“Juilliard” or the “School”) is committed to providing an academic and work environment free from sexual misconduct, harassment and other forms of discrimination, and in which all members of the School community are treated with the respect and dignity necessary to realize his or her full potential. Sexual misconduct and harassment, including acts of sexual assault and sexual violence, and other forms of unlawful discrimination are prohibited by Juilliard, as well as by federal and state law, including Title IX of the Education Amendments and the New York State Human Rights Law. If there is a finding that any form of sexual misconduct or harassment in violation of this policy has occurred, Juilliard will take appropriate action, up to and including termination of employment or dismissal from the School. Anyone in the Juilliard community who knowingly allows or tolerates sexual misconduct or harassment, or retaliation against an individual who makes a report of sexual misconduct or harassment is also in violation of this policy and subject to disciplinary action.

Any member of the Juilliard community who has been a target of, has witnessed or has

information about sexual misconduct, sexual harassment or other forms of unlawful discrimination by a student, employee or third party should promptly report the incident. The School will take appropriate action to eliminate sexual misconduct and harassment, prevent its recurrence, remedy its effects on the Juilliard community and, if necessary, discipline behavior that violates this policy. This policy applies to all on-campus conduct and off-campus conduct that affects the Juilliard community. Vendors, independent contractors, visitors and others who conduct business with Juilliard or who are present on the School campus are also expected to comply with this policy and any other rules of their engagement.

Please be advised that the information provided here is simply an overview of The Juilliard School Sexual Misconduct & Harassment Policy and Adjudication Procedure. All members of the Juilliard community are encouraged to review the complete Policy and Procedure, http://www.juilliard.edu/student-life/student-affairs/sexual-misconduct-harassment-policy. The complete Policy contains a list of resources for individuals who may have been victims of sexual assault or sexual violence, definitions of important terms and examples of various forms of sexual misconduct.

Sexual Harassment Defined

Sexual harassment, including sexual misconductand sexual violence, is a form of unlawful gender discrimination which involves the conduct of a person of either sex, toward a person of the opposite sex or same sex, and occurs when such conduct consists of unwelcome sexual advances, unwelcome requests for sexual favors and other unwelcome verbal, nonverbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature. Sexual violencerefers to physical acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the person’s use of drugs or alcohol or an intellectual or other disability. Sexual violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual assault, rape, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, sexual coercion and stalking.All such acts of sexual violence are forms of sexual harassment prohibited under federal and state law.

Sexual harassment also includes gender-based harassment, which may include acts of verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation or hostility based on sex or sex-stereotyping, even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.

Reporting Sexual Misconduct and Harassment

Juilliard is required to designate at least one employee to coordinate its efforts to comply with federal laws prohibiting sexual misconduct, harassment and other forms of discrimination, oversee related policies and procedures, explain the operation of the reporting and adjudication procedures and ensure consistent practices and standards in handling complaints. Juilliard’s compliance coordinator (the “Title IX Coordinator” or “Coordinator”) is:

Dr. Jennifer Awe 60 Lincoln Center Plaza Room 245

New York, NY 10023-6588 (212) 799-5000, ext. 7447 [email protected]

The Coordinator has designated the following School officials to receive reports of sexual misconduct or harassment (the “Deputy Coordinators”):

• For Complaints by Students: Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Room 100

Ext. 200

• For Complaints by Employees: Director of Human Resources Room 231

Alternatively, students and employees may make a report directly to the Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Administration (Office of the Dean, ext. 593) or the Vice President for Library and Information Resources (Library, ext. 673). The Coordinator will keep a confidential record of all such reports.

Any individual who has been the victim of a crime, such as sexual assault or other form of sexual violence, should contact the local police department or call 911 immediately. Even if possible criminal conduct is reported to the police, Juilliard will still conduct an internal investigation to determine what occurred and take appropriate steps to assist the victim. Juilliard also reserves the right to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct or harassment in appropriate circumstances, even in the absence of an official report filed with the School or with local law enforcement.

Juilliard will attempt to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of those involved in an investigation to the extent possible, within the requirements of conducting reasonable investigations. However, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Disclosure may be required by law or by the circumstances of the investigation.

Investigation and Adjudication Procedure

The Coordinator or other designated School official receiving a report of sexual misconduct or harassment will explain the various options available for resolution of the complaint. A thorough and impartial investigation of the incident will be completed as promptly as possible. The investigation generally will include interviews with the parties, interviews with any

witnesses and a review of any relevant documents, including texts, emails and postings on social media. Disclosure of facts to parties and witnesses will be limited to what is reasonably necessary to conduct a fair and thorough investigation. All participants in the investigation are required to present truthful and accurate information. Knowingly making false statements or presenting inaccurate information is unacceptable and will result in separate disciplinary action regarding that conduct.

The proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any stage of the procedure.

Based on the results of the investigation, the complaint may be heard by a neutral hearing panel which will determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether or not there has been a violation of this policy. If a violation is found, the panel will make a recommendation as to the sanctions to be imposed. Possible sanctions and remedial actions include, but are not limited to: • Participation in training or educational sessions on sexual misconduct, harassment and other

forms of discrimination;

• A written warning placed in the violator’s file; • Reassignment of responsibilities, if practicable; • Reassignment of housing;

• Probation; • Suspension; and • Termination or dismissal.

The parties are both entitled to appeal the decision of the panel. The filing of a complaint which is later found to have been malicious, intentionally false or advanced in bad faith may subject the complainant to discipline. Anyone who believes that he or she has been the subject of a false complaint of sexual misconduct or harassment should meet with the Coordinator or other designated School official to discuss the allegations.

Other Available Procedures

This Sexual Misconduct & Harassment Policy and Adjudication Procedure does not preempt or supersede any legal procedures or remedies otherwise available to a victim of sexual

misconduct, harassment or other discrimination under state or federal law. Alternately, or in addition to using Juilliard’s internal procedures and/or reporting to local law enforcement, a student or employee has the right to file a complaint of sexual misconduct or harassment with federal and state agencies that investigate discrimination charges. An external complaint must be filed directly with the appropriate agency. The agency also should be consulted concerning time deadlines for filing.

NOTE:

All members of the Juilliard community, including students, faculty, staff and other employees enjoy significant freedom of speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. This Policy and Procedure is intended to protect members of the Juilliard community from discrimination, not to regulate protected speech. The Policy and Procedure shall be implemented in a manner that recognizes the importance of rights to freedom of speech and expression. Consistent with principles of academic freedom, no provision of this Policy or Procedure shall be interpreted to prohibit conduct that is legitimately related to the course content, teaching methods, scholarship or public commentary of an individual faculty member or the educational, political, artistic or literary expression of students in classrooms and public forums. However, freedom of speech and academic freedom are not limitless and do not protect speech or expressive conduct that violates federal or state non-discrimination laws.

Resources for Victims of Sexual Assault or Violence

General Safety Information

While national statistics show that New York City has a lower crime rate than that of many other major U.S. cities, it still requires practicing safety to avoid trouble. Just a little common sense can get you through almost any situation you may encounter in the city.

In General:

• Remain alert. Be aware of your environment and of those around you.

• Carry a bag that fits close to your body or that you can hold securely in front. A dangling bag can be easily yanked off your shoulder from behind.

• Avoid shortcuts that are not well traveled or well lit, including alleys, parks, and parking lots that may be isolated.

• Keep your wallet/all valuables in your front pocket.

• Have your keys ready when you enter your apartment or room so that you won’t have to stop to look for them.

• If at all possible, do not walk alone at night. If you must, stay on well-lit, well-populated streets. • Walk briskly, look alert, and appear to know where you are going—even if you don’t! • Always walk with confidence. It helps if you take the time to become familiar with your

environment. At School:

• Don’t leave personal items unattended especially electronics or portable items. • Report any suspicious activity or persons to the Security Desk, ext. 246. Red emergency

phones that connect directly to the security desk are located throughout the School building. • Obtain insurance for your instrument.

• Always keep your assigned school locker locked. • Do not sign guests into the school that you do not know.

• To ensure everyone’s safety, please abide by all School policies in this handbook. In the Residence Hall:

• Always lock your bedroom and suite door.

• If you bring valuables to school, keep them in a lock box or mini-safe. • Report suspicious behavior or persons to the 11th floor security desk at x7442.

• Do not sign in individuals into the residence hall that you do not know well. Remember, the residence hall is your living space.

• Be aware of guests that your roommate or suitemates may sign in.

At Home:

• Keep doors locked at all times.

• Do not remove window guards on apartment windows.

• Do not keep windows adjacent to fire escapes open at night or when not at home. • Always use caution and check the identity of a visitor before opening the door. • At night, travel with a friend or choose to take a bus or taxi, if possible. On the Subway: (Tips from the NYPD web site)

• Be careful not to display money or valuable electronic portable devices in public. • Hold on to your pocketbook when using the shoulder strap.

• Keep your wallet out of sight and never put your wallet in your rear pocket. • Be sure your necklaces and other jewelry are not visible.

• Do not doze or fall asleep on the train.

• Beware of loud arguments or noisy incidents. They could be staged to distract you in order to pick your pocket.

• Stand in the yellow “off-hours waiting area” in front of the token booth in subway stations. • On subways, choose the most crowded car. If it’s late, use a middle car. (The conductor

Crime Statistics

The following tables represent data of reported crimes, disciplinary referrals for alcohol, drug and weapons violations, and arrests or citations for calendar years 2010- 2012. During the calendar year 2012, New York Police Department reported one robbery on public property adjacent to the Juilliard School. This report is counted in the following crime statistics table. NYPD also reported six instances of grand larceny on public property adjacent to campus. Because the information on these reported grand larcenies is limited, these incidents are not counted in the crime statistics table.

Eight incidences of alleged theft of unattended items in open spaces or unlocked rooms were reported the school during the 2012 calendar year. Due to the fact they do not meet the criteria for robbery, these incidents are not included in crime statistics table.

Annual Fire Safety Report

As of August 2010, The Higher Education Opportunity Actrequires higher education institutions to collect, report and disseminate fire statistic information regarding campus residential buildings to the campus community, the Department of Education, and potential students and employees for the three previous calendar years.

This report contains information from calendar years 2009-2011.

Definition of a Fire

For purposes of safety reporting, a fire is “any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning of in an uncontrolled manner” as defined by the Higher Education Act.

Fire Safety System

Each floor of the residence hall contains fire extinguishers, fire alarms and pull stations. The entire hall is equipped with a public address system that is monitored by Lincoln Center Security. In addition, each suite and bedroom is equipped with a sprinkler system. Stairwells with emergency directional signage run from every floor to street level for evacuation purposes.

Fire Drills

In 2010, 2011, 2012, two fire drills were conducted the Meredith Willson Residence Hall each year. One drill was conducted each semester.

Residence Hall Prohibited Items

Fire safety codes require that major appliances (washers, dryers, dishwashers) and other small electrical appliances are not to be used in student occupied residence hall suites and rooms. These small appliances include, but are not limited to, rice cookers, portable stoves, halogen lamps, Foreman grills, or anything with an open heating element.

• Irons, hot-pots/tea kettles, and coffee makers may be used if they have an automatic shut-off mechanism.

• Non-halogen lamps are permissible, as long as lamp guards are installed that prevent flammable materials from touching the bulbs.

• Candles or other materials with open flames are not permitted in the residence hall. • New York City law prohibits smoking anywhere in the school or the residence hall.

Residence Evacuation Procedures

There are two types of alarms in the residence hall:

1. A soft tone indicates that an alert has been received and residents should stand by for further information which will be announced through speakers in each suite.

2. A loud alarm indicates that an area needs to be evacuated. Wait for an announcement and listen for instructions. The instructions will direct students as to which stairwell to utilize during an evacuation. Not all floors may require evacuation.

During an evacuation, do not use elevators. All individuals should use the clearly marked emergency stairwells and evacuate to the directed area.

If an individual is aware of a person who is physically unable to use the stairs to evacuate, alert emergency personnel, and give approximate location (Floor # and Room #) of the

disabled/incapacitated individual.
