Safety Policies
In
November 1990, the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act was signed
into law (Public Law 101-542 as amended by Public Law 102-26). This legislation
requires educational institutions to compile, publish, and distribute an annual
security report containing campus security policies, procedures and crime
statistics. In compliance with the law, this document is published and posted
on the College's website. Hard copies are available and may be obtained from
the Vice President of Finance and Business Affairs. The Handbook is also available
on the Web. Further information is available
at the U.S. Department of Education's Campus
Crime Survey on their Web site.
Through agreements with University Heights Association (UHA), security services are provided to students, faculty, and staff. The UHA Office of Public Safety patrols the campus and checks all College facilities including College-operated residence halls. The blue light emergency phones on campus dial directly to the UHA Office of Public Safety.
A 10-member Safety and Security Committee comprised of faculty, administration and staff addresses safety and security issues on campus. The Committee reports directly to the President and meets quarterly from September through May of each academic year.
An Emergency and Crisis Management Plan was initiated in 1995. Copies are available from the Assistant Vice President for Student Services. The purpose of this plan is to assist all members of Albany College of Pharmacy community in dealing with an emergency and/or crisis situation. Follow the guidelines that are contained in this manual, to most effectively handle an emergency and/or crisis situation.
