Introduction Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences’ (KCU) Safety and Emergency Management Department is pleased to share the “2016 Annual Security Report.” The report is prepared by Jim Herrington, director of campus operations at KCU, in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, and is intended to disseminate important information to the University community. Crime statistics include those reported to local police, KCU Safety and Emergency Management, and designated campus officials. With this publication, it is KCU’s intent to communicate not only mandatory information, such as crime statistics, but also to inform current students and employees, and to assist prospective students and their families by describing the many ways in which KCU Safety and Emergency Management strives to keep the University community safe. The crime statistics reported herein are comprised of reports received by the Safety and Emergency Management Department and other campus security authorities. The department also contacts local law enforcement each year to collect from them any crime statistics they have relevant to inclusion in this report. The source of the local crime statistics for this report was the Kansas City Missouri Police Department. Our efforts include high-visibility patrols, responding to and investigating oncampus incidents, providing security services at University events, and increasing student and employee vigilance through crime-prevention training and awareness, workshops and other activities. KCU’s Safety and Emergency Management Department is committed to working with the community to achieve a shared goal of creating a safe and welcoming campus environment. We value our partnership with the community. As we work to make the KCU community safe, we realize our success ultimately depends upon the constructive relationships we have built with our neighbors. We welcome and value your input and ask for your support. In all of our efforts, we are guided by high standards and professionalism. At KCU, the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff are our top priorities. KCU’s campus areas are safe and have an extremely low crime rate for an urban university. We take great pride in this fact and in all of our public service accomplishments.

Mission Statement The mission of KCU’s Safety and Emergency Management Department is to contribute to and promote a safe and secure educational environment for students, faculty, staff and campus visitors. Recognizing our shared responsibility to maintain order while affording dignity and respect to every individual, KCU Safety and Emergency Management strives to achieve this mission through a

2 KCP-4522437-1

community-friendly approach that enhances safety through the visibility of security personnel, preventive patrols and 24-hour accessibility.

Campus Security KCU security officers are armed proprietary patrol agents who work exclusively for the University. KCU patrol agents derive their law enforcement authority from the Kansas City (Mo.) Police Department (KCPD/KCMO) through Revised Missouri Statute Section 84.720 which provides the Kansas City Missouri Police Department Board of Commissioners power to regulate security personnel. The rules of the regulation can be found at: http://s1.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/17csr/17c10-2.pdf Specifically, the section regulating license classifications are found at CSR 102.030, which states: Class A licensees shall have the authority to detain or apprehend suspects either committing felonies, misdemeanors or city ordinance violations in the presence of the licensee or during the attempt to commit the same or upon probable cause to believe an offense was committed; provided, however, the authority is limited to the property the licensee is hired to protect during the hours s/he is hired to protect said property and is not to extend to the public streets of the city with the exception of suspects fleeing from private property on foot. Armed patrol agents are uniformed personnel delegated all the responsibility of a guard with the authority to react to illegal action by apprehension or detention. These individuals may also be responsible for proactive, aggressive policing of the property they are hired to protect. To qualify, KCU officers are required to submit applications to the KCPD Private Officers Licensing Section and pass a written, knowledge-based test on Missouri law and police procedures. In addition, each officer is required to take firearms training and safety courses and to qualify annually at the Kansas City Police Department’s firearms facility. KCU also employs off-duty KCPD police officers, who work together with its own officers to provide a safe learning environment. There is no written agreement with local law enforcement concerning the investigation of alleged criminal offense, but the entire campus is in Kansas City, Mo., and the Kansas City (Mo.) Police Department (KCPD) has jurisdiction over the KCU campus. KCPD is responsible for reporting and investigating crimes that occur on or near the campus. The prosecution of all criminal offenses is done through Kansas City Municipal Court, the Jackson County (Mo.) Prosecutor’s Office or the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri.

Bike Patrols KCU Safety and Emergency Management utilize bike patrols as a deterrent to crime. The bike patrols run during the period of time when the campus population is at its greatest. Advantages of bike patrols include faster response times, high visibility and allowing for interaction with campus patrons on a more personal level. Bike patrol officers receive training in the proper operation and use of

Page 3

police bikes though their membership in the International Police Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA).

CCTV State-of-the-art surveillance cameras are strategically placed throughout the KCU campus in an effort to deter criminals. Videos are recorded and are able to be exported to the police, making it a valuable investigative asset in the event of a crime.

Campus Escort Program If a person must travel alone at night, the campus escort program provides a safe, reliable way to travel throughout the campus. Students in need of an escort are asked to contact the Safety and Emergency Management Department at ext. 7911.

Emergency Blue-Light Phones These two-way call boxes are located in KCU’s two student parking lots and at the Community Garden adjacent to the campus. They allow individuals in need of assistance to speak directly to a security officer. The officer is able to respond to calls immediately and gather firsthand knowledge of the emergency.

Monitoring and Recording Criminal Activity at Off-Campus Locations of Officially Recognized Student Organizations KCU does not have any off-campus locations of student organizations officially recognized by the institution.

The Campus Security Act: Legal Requirements The Campus Security Act requires colleges and universities to: • Publish an annual report by Oct. 1 that contains three calendar years of campus crime statistics and certain campus security policy statements • Disclose crime statistics for the campus, public areas immediately adjacent to or running through the campus, and to certain non-campus facilities and remote classrooms. The statistics must be gathered from campus security, local law enforcement and other university officials who have “significant responsibility for students and campus activities” • Provide “timely warnings” of those crimes that have occurred and pose a serious or ongoing “threat to students and employees”

Disclose in a public crime log “any crime that occurred on campus or within the patrol jurisdiction of university security and is reported to university security” Must contain certain campus security police statements Retain all records associated with the report

The KCU Safety and Emergency Management Department is responsible for preparing and distributing this report. All supporting documents are located in the office of the director of Security and Emergency Management, located on the first floor of the Administration Building. The full text of this report can be located on Intranet site at intranet.kcumb.edu/ by choosing the Safety and Emergency Management tab and clicking on “Annual Security Report.” You can also access the report on the University’s external website by visiting www.kcumb.edu/campus-life/campus-safety/security-report We work with many other departments within the University, including the offices of the provost and dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the dean of the College of Biosciences, Student Affairs and other campus security authorities and outside agencies, such as KCPD, to compile this information. We encourage members of the University to use this report as a guide for safe practices on and off campus. KCU’s official form of notification is the intranet. Each member of the University community is notified of the web address where they can access the “Annual Security Report.” The notification includes a brief description of the content of the report and advises that paper copies are also available by contacting the Director of Campus Operations at 816-654-7916, by email at [email protected], or by writing to the Human Resources Department at 1750 Independence Ave., Kansas City, MO 64106-1453.

Reporting Criminal Incidents and Other Emergencies All students, employees and guests are encouraged to promptly report criminal incidents, accidents and other emergencies to KCU Safety and Emergency Management by dialing 816-654-7911 or by calling ext. 7911 from a campus phone. The University also has emergency two-way call boxes (blue-light phones) in University parking lots located at Independence Avenue and Highland Street, Missouri Avenue and Highland Street, and at the Community Garden. By pressing the red button on the call box, users can communicate directly with an officer. The location of the call box is digitally displayed for the officer. KCU Safety and Emergency Management’s dispatch office is located in the Student Activities Center, 1622 Independence Ave., and is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. Incidents that occur outside the jurisdiction of KCU Safety and Emergency Management should be reported to the police by calling 911 for emergencies. KCU officers will assist in contacting the proper authorities for non-emergency incidents. Students may also report criminal incidents, accidents and other emergencies to designated Campus Security Authorities. (See below for more information.)

Page 5

Campus Security Authorities KCU Safety and Emergency Management recognizes the fact that many individuals – students, in particular – are sometimes hesitant about reporting crimes to police or KCU Safety and Emergency Management officers, and that those individuals may be more inclined to report incidents to other campusaffiliated individuals. Therefore, the University has identified faculty and staff to serve as Campus Security Authorities. These officials are identified because they represent a group who has significant responsibilities for students and campus activities. A list of officials identified as Campus Security Authorities includes the: • President and chief executive officer • Provost and dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, • Vice provost of Student & Enrollment Services • Associate dean of clinical affairs • Associate dean of curriculum • Assistant dean of student affairs • All members of the Student Affairs Department • Community clinical education coordinators • Curriculum coordinators • All faculty advisors to student clubs and organizations • Dean of the College of Biosciences • Chair of bioethics • Curriculum director • Curriculum co-director • Members of the Promotion and Graduation Committee • Members of the Appeals Committee These Campus Safety Authorities can be reached by telephone through the main number for campus, 816-654-7000 The university would prefer crimes be reported to a member of KCU Safety and Emergency Management. Members of the department include: 1. Security officers and dispatchers, who can be reached at 816-654-7911 2. Jim Herrington, director of Campus Operations , at 816-654-7916 3. Eric Shirley, manager of Safety and Emergency Management, at 816-6547910

Exemption for Pastoral and Professional Counselors There are two types of individuals who, although they have significant responsibility for student and campus activities, are not designated as Campus Security Authorities under the Clery Act: • Pastoral counselor: A person, who is associated with a religious order or denomination, and is recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling, and is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.

Page 6

•

Professional counselor: A person whose official responsibilities include providing mental health counseling to members of the institution’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification. This definition applies even to professional counselors who are not employees of the institution, but are under contract to provide counseling at the institution.

At this time, we do not have a procedure in place for pastoral or professional counselors to inform the persons they are counseling of any procedures to report crimes on a voluntary or confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics.

Issuing Timely Warnings In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the security officers, constitutes a serious or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued. Depending on the particular circumstances, especially in all situations that could pose an ongoing threat to the community and individuals, KCU Safety and Emergency Management will make notification via network emails, emergency text messages to cell phones and desktop computers logged into the University network. The warnings are generally done by the on-duty dispatcher but all members of the department are capable and able to issue the warnings. They may also post a notice on campus bulletin boards and on the KCU intranet at https://intranet.kcumb.edu/home.aspx to provide the University community with more immediate notification. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to KCU Safety and Emergency Management by calling 816-654-7911 or in person at the dispatch center. The dispatch center is located on the east side of the first floor of Leonard Smith Hall, 1700 Independence Avenue. In addition to KCU Safety and Emergency Management, information can also be reported to any Campus Security Authority. Campus Security Authorities will immediately report crimes to KCU Safety and Emergency Management in the event a timely warning needs to be issued.

Distribution of Timely Warning Notices The Safety and Emergency Management Department distributes a “Notice of Criminal Activity” in various ways. Once the University determines that a notice will be issued, notification will be made via network emails, emergency text messages to cell phones and desktop computers logged into the University network. In addition there are 12 different locations across the campus on bulletin boards at entrances to buildings where warning notices of ongoing or reoccurring crime will be posted. In some instances, notices are sent out both by email and paper copy.

Page 7

Limited Voluntary Confidential Reporting KCU Safety and Emergency Management encourage anyone who is the victim or witness to any crime to promptly report the incident to KCU officers or the police. Confidential reports for purposes of inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics can generally be made to other KCU Campus Security Authorities as identified above.

Programs on Security Procedures and Practices for Students and Employees Programs Designed to inform students and employees about campus Security Procedures and Practices. During orientation in August, students are informed of services offered by KCU Safety and Emergency Management. A slide presentation outlining ways to maintain personal safety is presented and students are told about crime on campus and in surrounding neighborhoods. Similar information is presented to new employees during orientation. During this orientation the following topics are covered: • Contact information for campus security (Safety and Emergency Department) • Map of campus and surrounding area • Parking information • Location of Blue Emergency Phones • The RAVE system which is one of the university’s emergency notification systems • Card access to campus • Lost and found procedures • Being vigilant and mindful of your surroundings • Avoiding safety concerns- locations and panhandlers • Securing personal effects in cars • Requesting safety escorts • What to do in emergencies (fires, chemical spills, biohazard exposure…) • Prohibition of alcohol on campus unless authorized by the university president • The Clery Act and how it impacts safety on campus • Reporting Crimes Periodically during the year the Safety and Emergency Management Department send out safety bulletins. These bulletins generally deal with personal safety and ways to prevent theft. They commonly occur in conjunction with holidays like the winter holidays, July 4th and Halloween. The university annually provides training for employees on workplace/school violence. This is taught by an outside company that specializes in training employees on personal safety. The purpose of the training is to show employees best practices for protecting themselves as well as protecting the students.

Crime Prevention Programs for Students and Employees Safety and crime prevention tips are provided during both student and employee orientations. In addition during the academic year, KCU Safety and Emergency Management reiterates safety tips, updates and reminders of services during class announcements. KCU Safety and Emergency Management present crime prevention tips and educational sessions on personal safety. A common theme of all crime prevention is to encourage students and employees to be aware of their surroundings and how to prevent thefts, robberies and assaults. Students and staff are told to travel in numbers whenever possible and to utilize the services provided by KCU Safety and Emergency Management to ensure their safety, including asking for escort to vehicles or buildings. In addition, information is disseminated to students and employees through crime prevention awareness packets. When time is of the essence, information is released to the University community through security alerts posted prominently throughout campus and, if necessary, through the RAVE emergency notification system, with the aid of the Alertus platform.

Access to Campus Facilities The University uses a card access system, which restricts access to the buildings to only students, staff and faculty. During business hours (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.) a visitor’s entrance is in operation at the Dybedal Center for Research. At the visitor’s entrance, a university employee is stationed to assist visitors. All visitors are required to sign in and obtain a visitor’s badge or to be escorted by an authorized person. KCU has no residence halls on or off campus.

Alcohol and Illegal Drug Possession As a University committed to excellence in the education of highly qualified students in osteopathic medicine, biomedical sciences and bioethics, we embrace the tenets of osteopathic medicine and believe that the body is a unit and that the person is a unit of body, mind and spirit. Therefore, in conjunction with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, KCU is committed to maintaining an environment that is free of impairment and conducive to the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual development of all persons. KCU prohibits the use, manufacturing, storage, distribution, dispensing, sale or possession of non-prescribed controlled prescription medications, narcotics or illegal drugs on campus or at KCU-associated activities or events. Violation of these regulations may result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion/dismissal from the University for students and termination of employment for faculty and staff. KCU also enforces state and federal drug laws. Employees of the University are encouraged to review the Employee Handbook for additional information.

Page 9

Possession, use or sale of alcohol on campus is prohibited, except by approval of the University president. KCU also enforces the state’s underage drinking laws.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Programs KCU has developed a program to prevent the illicit use of drugs or the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. The program provides services related to drug use and abuse, including dissemination of informational materials, educational programs, counseling services, referrals and University disciplinary actions. The Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Prevention Policy can be found at in the university policy library or the direct link is at the following location: https://intranet.kcumb.edu/Details.aspx?id=8498

Security Considerations in the Maintenance of Campus Facilities KCU is committed to campus safety and security. Exterior lighting and landscaping control is a critical part of that commitment. Representatives from both KCU Safety and Emergency Management and the Physical Facilities Department continually conduct inspections to ensure campus lighting and building access is adequate and that landscaping is appropriately controlled. Officers routinely check lighting and locking mechanisms on campus during regular patrols and, if any are inoperable, initiate a repair order, which is acted upon by Physical Facilities, usually within 24 hours. Any community member having concerns about security of facilities is encouraged to contact KCU Safety and Emergency Management at 816-654-7911. After hours, Physical Facilities staff is available to respond to calls for service regarding unsafe issues for personal safety and property protection. These conditions may also include unsafe steps or handrails, unsafe conditions on parking lots and sidewalks, and unsecured equipment.

Daily Crime Log The Safety and Emergency Management Department maintains a Daily Crime Log that records all crimes by the date the incident was reported, including all crimes and other serious incidents that occur on campus and on non-campus buildings or public property within the department’s patrol jurisdiction. The Daily Crime Log for the past six months is available for inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays, at the Director of Safety and Emergency Management’s office, located on the first floor of the Administration Building. Logs prior to the last six months require two days notice.

Page 10

The Daily Crime Log includes the nature, date, time and general location of each crime reported to the department, as well as disposition of the complaint, if this information is known, for 60 days from the time the entry was made. The department posts specific incidents in the Daily Crime Log within two business days of receiving a report of an incident and reserves the right to exclude reports from the log in certain circumstances. The only exceptions are if the disclosure is prohibited by law or if the disclosure would jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim. In addition, information may temporarily be withheld if there is clear and convincing evidence that release would jeopardize an ongoing investigation, jeopardize the safety of an individual, cause a suspect to flee or evade detection or result in the destruction of evidence. The university may withhold only that information that could cause and adverse effect, and it must disclose such information once the adverse effect is no longer likely to occur.

Policy, Procedures and Programs Related to Various SexRelated Offenses KCU prohibits acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence and stalking. An offense of this nature likely will also violate the University’s Title IX policy, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in its educational programs and activities, including sexual harassment and acts of sexual violence. A full statement of the University’s Title IX policy and the procedures for filing, investigating and resolving complaints for violations of that policy may be found at: https://intranet.kcumb.edu/Details.aspx?id=8498 The following discusses the University’s educational programs to promote the awareness of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking; provides information concerning procedures students should follow if they become a victim of one of these offenses; and advises victims of their rights and the services available in the event they do become a victim.

Educational Programs to Promote Awareness and Prevention of These Offenses A fundamental element of the University’s educational programs to promote awareness and the prevention of these offenses is an understanding of relevant provision of Missouri law. They are set out below: Domestic assault (Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 565.072-565.074, 455.010) Domestic assault generally involves violence or attempted violence perpetrated against a family or household member, including children. “Family or household member” is defined as “spouses, former spouses, any person related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together or have resided together in the past, any person who is or has been in a continuing social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim and anyone who has a child in

Page 11

common regardless of whether they have been married or have resided together at any time.” Dating violence There is not a specific criminal statute in Missouri addressing dating violence. Note, however, that the definitions of domestic assault above include violence committed by a person who is or has been in a continuing social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. Under guidelines contained in the Federal Violence Against Women Act, such a relationship is characterized by the expectation of affection or sexual involvement between the parties. The existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on a consideration of the (1) length of the relationship, (2) type of relationship, and (3) frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship.

Stalking (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 565.225) A person commits the crime of stalking if he or she purposely, through his or her course of conduct, harasses or follows with the intent of harassing another person. “Course of conduct” is a pattern of conduct composed of two or more acts, which may include communication by any means, over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. It does not include constitutionally protected activity. Consent (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 556.061(5)). Consent or lack of consent may be expressed or implied. Assent does not constitute consent if: a) It is given by a person who lacks the mental capacity to authorize the conduct charged to constitute the offense and such mental incapacity is manifest or known to the actor; or b) It is given by a person who by reason of youth, mental disease or defect, or intoxication, is manifestly unable to (or known by the actor to be unable to) make a reasonable judgment as to the nature or harmfulness of the conduct charged to constitute the offense; or c) It is induced by force, duress or deception. The University’s Primary Prevention and Awareness Programs are for all incoming students and new employees as well for contractors. For students this training occurs during their first week of orientation and is conducted by the Safety and Emergency Management Department and the Title IX Coordinator. Among other items this training covers relevant definitions, procedures a victim should follow, procedures the University will follow when an offense is reported, resources and accommodations available to victims, confidentiality and

Page 12

sanctions. The training also provides information on risk reduction so that individuals can recognize warning signs of abusive behavior and know how to avoid potential attacks. The training also addresses safe and positive options for bystander intervention that may be carried out by an individual to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk that another individual may become a victim. A video produced by www.whoareyou.co.nz is utilized to explore bystander intervention techniques. In addition, the University conducts Ongoing Prevention and Awareness Campaigns for all students and employees. This training covers the same topics as in the University’s Primary Prevention and Awareness Program and serves to reinforce that training. The following are examples of this ongoing campaign: • •

Self-defense classes co-sponsored with a student group. Educational programs sponsored by the Safety and Emergency Management Department to promote the awareness of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Periodically during the year the Safety and Emergency Management Department send out safety bulletins. These bulletins generally deal with personal safety and ways to prevent theft. They commonly occur in conjunction with holidays like the winter holidays, July 4th and Halloween. The university annually provides training for employees on workplace/school violence. This is taught by an outside company that specializes in training employees on personal safety. The purpose of the training is to show employees best practices for protecting themselves as well as protecting the students. Restraining Orders Any student or employee who has a restraining order, order of protection, no contact order or any other such order issued by any court or the University against another individual (whether or not that individual is also a student or employee of the University) is highly encouraged to notify a campus security authority of the order and provide a copy it so that it can be kept on file with Safety and Emergency Management Department and be enforced, if necessary. Procedures to Follow if You are a Victim of a Sex Offense: If you are a victim of a sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, go to a safe place and call 911 or a University Safety Officer at 816-6547911 or contact another University campus security authority. You should also contact the University’s Title IX Coordinator Richard Winslow, Vice Provost of Student and Enrollment Services, 816-654-7152, [email protected]. Victims will be provided written notice of the following information: • The importance of preserving evidence as may be necessary to prove the offense or to obtain a protective order (e.g., do not remove clothing items worn during or following an assault, as they frequently contain valuable fiber, hair, and fluid evidence; do not bathe or wash, or otherwise clean

Page 13

the environment in which the assault occurred; preserve any electronic communications from that assailant, particularly in the case of stalking); Any others to whom the alleged offense should be reported and how to do so; Options regarding notification to law enforcement, including: o The option to notify either on-campus safety personnel or local police; o The option to be assisted by a campus security authority in notifying law enforcement if the victim so chooses; or o The option to decline to notify such authorities; Where applicable, the rights of the victim and the university’s responsibility regarding orders of protection, no-contact orders, restraining orders or similar lawful orders issued by any court.

Available Victim Services and Accommodations Victims will be provided written notification about existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration, and other services available to them, both within the University and in the surrounding community. On-campus services and resources include: A variety of student support services exist for student on-campus including the following: Counseling and Mental Health Services- The University understands the intense environment and extra stress which students experience. Because we know how important it is for students to be emotionally healthy, KCU encourages students to utilize the mental health services that are currently available to all students. The University has a full-time psychologist dedicated to students’ support. The Director Counseling Services provides immediate support for students oncampus through psychotherapy, proactive support programs to assist students with the extra stresses associated with medical school and graduate study, and provides additional information and support through the University’s orientation program. The University’s Director of Counseling Services, Dr. James Dugan, is located on the third floor of Smith Hall. Dr. Dubin can be reached at (816) 6547219, or at [email protected]. Health Services- In the event of a student emergency, on-campus during regular hours, students can be seen by clinical faculty, who are practicing physicians. Students can contact University Safety and Security or the Office of Student Affairs in order to be seen by an on-campus faculty physician. Visa and Immigration Services- Student can contact the University’s Office of the Registrar for visa and immigration support services. The Office of the Registrar serves as the University’s SEVIS coordinator with the Federal Office of Immigration and Naturalization and can provide resources and answer questions.

Victim Advocacy Support- The Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault (MOCSA) is available to all students and provides a variety of support services, including but not limited to a 24-hour Crisis Line. 24-hour Crisis Line in Kansas: (913) 642-0233 24-hour Crisis Line in Missouri: (816) 531-0233 The University will provide written notification to victims about options for, and available assistance in, changing academic, living, transportation, and working situations. If victims request these accommodations and they are reasonably available they will be provided, regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to campus security or local law enforcement. The University will keep information about these accommodations and any similar protective measures confidential to the extent that maintaining confidentiality would not impair the University’s ability to provide them. Procedures for Disciplinary Action Allegations of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking will be processed through the appropriate University disciplinary system as describe below. These types of investigations/proceedings will be carried out in the same manner as a Title IX investigation which will be coordinated by the Title IX Coordinator (Stacy Jackson, [email protected], 816-654-7065). A complaint of this nature should be filed with the Title IX coordinator. The university utilizes an investigator model in in adjudicating Title IX complaints. The university uses both formal and informal disciplinary proceedings based on recommendation of the Title IX Coordinator with the wishes of the complainant and the severity of the allegations as considerations. The informal proceeding will not be used in cases of sexual violence. Informal disciplinary proceedings

Page 15

will be coordinated by the Title IX Coordinator. Formal disciplinary proceedings involving students will be conducted by the Student Performance Committee (SPC). Formal Disciplinary proceedings involving employees will be conducted by a Human Resources Panel. In either event, Formal Disciplinary proceedings may also involve the assigned Title IX Investigator and/or Title IX Coordinator. The timing of the proceeding should follow the following guidelines: • The proceedings should start within 7 days of receiving the complaint • The proceedings should be closed in 60 days • The reports and any addendums should be distributed in 3 days after completion/resolution • There will be a 10 day period for an appeal • The university has 15 days to resolve the appeal Any investigation or hearing shall provide for a prompt, fair and impartial resolution of the allegations. Proceedings will be conducted by officials who do not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against the accuser or the accused. Time frames specified for the investigation and any hearing will be extended only for good cause. Both the victim and the accused will be advised in writing of any extension of time frames and the reason for the delay. These proceedings will be conducted by officials who at a minimum receive annual training on the issues related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and on how to conduct an investigation and hearing process that protects the safety of victims and promotes accountability. All officials involved in the resolution of the allegation will have timely access to all relevant information. A decision on the allegation will be determined using a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard based on the totality of the evidence presented. Both the victim and the individual accused of the offense are entitled to: • Timely notice of meetings at which one or the other or both may be present; • Timely access to information that will be used after the fact-finding investigation but in any informal or formal disciplinary meeting or hearing; • The same opportunities to have others present during any disciplinary hearing, including the opportunity to be accompanied to any related meeting or proceeding by the advisor of their choice. (The University may not limit the choice of advisor, but may establish limits regarding the extent to which that advisor may participate in the proceeding, as long as those limits apply equally to both parties); and • Simultaneous, written notification of the outcome of the proceeding, any procedures for either party to appeal the result, any change to the result and when the result becomes final. The University will use its best efforts to protect the confidentiality of victims, including the maintenance of publicly available records without the inclusion of identifying information about the victim to the extent permitted by law.

Sanctions and Protective Orders Following A Finding that an Offense Has Occurred Following a final determination in the University’s disciplinary proceeding that an act of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking has been committed, the University may impose sanctions and order protective measures be taken. Students, faculty, and employees found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to discipline including, written reprimand, suspension, demotion, termination, or expulsion. Protective measures that can be ordered range from no-contact orders to termination, expulsion, or other appropriate institutional sanctions. Prohibition Against Retaliation The University prohibits any retaliation, intimidation, threats, coercion or any other discrimination against any individuals exercising their rights or responsibilities pursuant to the Clery Act or this policy. Victims to Receive Written Notification of Rights When a student or employee reports to the University that he or she has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, the University will provide the student or employee a written explanation of his or her rights and options as described in the paragraphs above.

Sex Offender Registry and Access to Related Information The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act was enacted Oct. 28, 2000. The law requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice, as required under state law, of each institution of higher education in that state at which a person is employed, carries on a vocation or is a student. The law also requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. This information can be obtained by contacting, in person, the Jackson County Sheriff's Department. Its offices are located at 3310 NE Rennau Drive, Lee's Summit, MO 64064. Information can also be found online at the Missouri State Highway Patrol website by choosing the Sex Offender Registry under the Programs/Services tab along the top of the page. The direct address is: http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/SOR/SORP age.html

Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures KCU’s Emergency Operations Plan includes information about the University operating status parameters, incident priorities and performance expectations, shelter-in-place and evacuation guidelines, and local contingency and continuity planning requirements. University departments are responsible for developing contingency plans and continuity of operations plans for their staff and areas of

Page 17

responsibility. The University conducts numerous emergency response exercises each year, such as tabletop exercises, response drills and tests of the emergency notification systems on campus. These tests are designed to assess and evaluate the emergency plans and capabilities of the institution. When there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus, the first responders to the scene are usually KCU Safety and Emergency Management, KCPD and the Kansas City (Mo.) Fire Department. These agencies typically respond and work together to manage the incident. Depending on the nature of the incident, other KCU departments and other local or federal agencies could also be involved in responding to the incident. All members of the KCU community are notified on an annual basis that they are required to notify KCU Safety and Emergency Management of any situation or incident on campus that involves a significant emergency or dangerous situation that may involve an immediate or ongoing threat to the health and safety of students and/or employees on campus. KCU Safety and Emergency Management have the responsibility of responding to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In the event a significant emergency is reported on campus a member of the Safety and Emergency Management Department will be dispatched or self-dispatch to the scene. The member will determine if a significant event has occurred and they will advise the dispatcher the appropriate segments that should be notified If that is the case, federal law requires that the institution immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation. If a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurs on campus that presents an immediate threat to the health or safety of student or employees the information should be immediately conveyed to the KCU Safety and Emergency Management Department. The Safety and Emergency Management Department will confirm if there is a significant emergency or dangerous situation. Members of the department will notify all segments of the campus community through the RAVE Alert System. This can be done in person directly to KCU Safety and Emergency Management Department staff or by calling the dispatcher at 816654-7911. Once the department/dispatcher has been notified the notification of the rest of campus is done by the dispatcher through the RAVE Alert System and by security staff members who are on patrol duty. The dispatcher has the authority to determine the content of the notification but they can contact the onduty supervisor for clarification if needed. Dissemination of emergency information to the larger community outside of the university is done through the Kansas City Missouri Police Department by calling their emergency line (911) and making a report. KCU will, 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 professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

Page 18

The persons responsible for the notification to the campus community of an emergency or dangerous situation are the director of Campus Operations, the manager, supervisors, dispatchers and security officers of the Safety and Emergency Management Department.

Testing Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures Emergency response and evacuation drills are coordinated by KCU Safety and Emergency Management annually for different buildings on campus. Thus, the emergency response and evacuation procedures are tested at least twice each year and, for some of the buildings, four times a year. University officials rehearse their individual roles and responsibilities, and 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. The tests may be announced or unannounced but KCU Safety and Emergency Management prefers not to tell the population in advance about the designated locations for long-term evacuations because 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. Other factors, such as the location and nature of the threat, are also taken into consideration. KCU Safety and Emergency Management will communicate information to students regarding the developing situation or any evacuation status changes via the RAVE Alert system. The purpose of evacuation drills is to prepare building occupants for an organized evacuation in case of an emergency. Evacuation drills are used as a way to educate and train occupants on issues specific to their building. During the drill, students practice drill procedures and familiarize themselves with the location of exits and the sound of the fire alarm. In addition to educating the occupants of each building about the evacuation procedures during the drills, the process also provides the University an opportunity to test the operation of fire alarm system components. Evacuation drills are monitored by KCU Safety and Emergency Management to evaluate egress and behavioral patterns. Reports of emergency response and evacuation exercises are prepared by participating departments, which identify deficient equipment so that repairs can be made immediately and lessons learned regarding the effectiveness of procedures. These reports also contain a description of the exercise, the date, time and whether it was announced or unannounced. Recommendations for improvements are also submitted to the appropriate departments/offices for consideration. In connection with at least one test or exercise per year, the University publicizes information on emergency response and evacuation procedures to its employees and students.

Notification to the KCU Community About an Immediate Threat In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to members of the KCU 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 KCU campus community. These methods of communication include network emails,

Page 19

emergency text messages to cell phones and desktop computers logged into the University network. Individuals can sign up for this service on the KCU Safety and Emergency Management tab of the intranet under the heading, “How to Sign Up for RAVE.” The University will post updates during a critical incident on the KCU website at kcumb.edu.

Crime Statistics Crime statistics are gathered as the result of reports made to KCU Safety and Emergency Management. In addition, data is collected from Campus Security Authorities, who are officials with a significant responsibility for students and campus activities. In preparation of the Annual Security Report, crime and arrest reports statistics are requested from KCPD for those reports of crimes occurring on campus, on non-campus property and on public property within or adjacent to the campus. This area is of vital interest to the safety of the campus and allows the University to inform the community as well as potential students/employees of any crimes occurring in close proximity to the campus. These statistics are also incorporated into the annual report.

Definition of Reportable Crimes Criminal Offenses Criminal Homicide • Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter.

Hate Crimes A hate crime is a criminal offense committed against a person or property, which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias. Bias is a preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on their race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation or ethnicity/national origin. Although there are many possible categories of bias, under the Clery Act, only the following six categories are reported: Race A preformed negative attitude toward a group of persons who possess common physical characteristics (e.g., color of skin, eyes, and/or hair; facial features, etc.) genetically transmitted by descent and heredity, which distinguish them as a distinct division of humankind (ex. Asians, blacks, whites). Gender A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons because those persons are male or female. Gender Identity

Religion A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons who share the same religious beliefs regarding the origin and purpose of the universe and the existence or nonexistence of a supreme being (ex. Catholics, Jews, Protestants, atheists). Sexual orientation A performed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on their sexual attraction toward, and responsiveness to, members of their own sex or members of the opposite sex (ex. gays, lesbians, heterosexuals).
