Safety & Security (CLERY) Report

SAFETY & SECURITY AT GORDON COLLEGE (2009-2010)

By federal law (the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act), institutions of higher learning are required to produce an annual security report. This report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Gordon College, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus. The report also includes descriptions of institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning sexual assault, how to report a crime, etc. You may request a paper report by contacting public safety.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

As employees of Gordon College, the full-time officials of the Department of Public Safety share in the stated goal to live for Christ together. They also bear a unique responsibility as Special State Police Officers of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Officers receive training at the Massachusetts State Police Academy and special courses sponsored by the Massachusetts State Police and Massachusetts Police Training Committee. Upon completion of training, Public Safety officers have authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal activity on Gordon College property, as authorized under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 22C, Section 63. In addition to federal and state laws, Public Safety officers enforce college policies. They are a critical part of the campus judicial system. If a student commits a minor criminal offense or an offense involving college rules and regulations, Public Safety will refer the individual to the Center for Student Development for disciplinary adjudication.

Public Safety officers regularly patrol the campus. They maintain security of campus buildings, regulate traffic and parking, and respond to medical emergencies. They assist with minor motor vehicle trouble, provide authorized access to locked rooms and buildings, give safety escorts at night upon request, and observe and report facility safety hazards to Physical Plant.

In addition, the Department of Public Safety has oversight over:

• lost and found items,
• vehicle and bicycle permits,
• fire permit procurement for authorized groups, and
• testing for drivers of college-owned vehicles.

Public Safety personnel investigate and report criminal activity on campus. Depending on the nature of the crime and the preference of the victim, they sometimes work in conjunction with the Wenham Police Department, as well as state and federal agencies, both responding to and investigating reports of crime or suspicious activity on campus. Police information is routinely shared between Public Safety and the Wenham Police; however, there is no formal, written agreement between the department of Public Safety and outside police agencies regarding the investigation of crimes on campus. Members of the Gordon community desiring any type of police aid should call Public Safety at x4444 (emergency line: x3333). Public Safety will coordinate any requests for further assistance.

Gordon College maintains several non-campus locations for student education and residence (Lynn Initiative, Gloucester Immersion, and Boston Urban Semester). The Department of Public Safety does not provide law enforcement service to non-campus locations. Criminal activity at such locations is monitored and recorded by local municipal police agencies. Public Safety officers will work and communicate with local, state, or federal agencies to assist with investigations at these locations, when necessary.

CRIME PREVENTION AND SECURITY AWARENESS PROGRAMS

Crime prevention is a community affair. Prompt reporting of suspicious activity is a very real and effective tool in curtailing crime.

The Department of Public Safety has an officer available to make crime prevention presentations in residence halls by request. Officers visit residence hall meetings in September to explain the services offered by the department and to make students aware of the contribution they can make to the security of the campus. The Department of Public Safety is also available to assist other campus agencies sponsoring crime prevention programs.

Public Safety officers will provide safety escorts between campus locations at night. It is recommended that females not walk on campus alone after dark. During the daytime, escorts will be provided only for specific, reasonable safety concerns and medical needs. Emergency phones may be found in various locations around campus. They are identified by a lit blue beacon. Among the locations they can be found are:

• The Bromley/Ferrin lot near Hilton Hall;
• in the A. J. Gordon Chapel parking lot near Lewis Hall;
• in the Bennett Center parking lot;
• in front of Tavilla Hall;
• in front of Phillips Music Center on the Coy Pond side;
• on the north end of the Outdoor Ed. Bldg. at the Physical Plant lot;
• inside Bethel Chapel (in Frost Hall);
• at the Gull Pond gate;
• at the Gull Pond beach;
• along the sidewalk leading to the Woodland lot; and,
• at several locations within the Woodland parking lot.

Also, the grey boxes outside the entrance to the residence halls contain normal campus phones (dial 3333 in an emergency).

Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Training

Several officers in the Public Safety department, as well as certain members of the Residence Life staff, are certified instructors of the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Basic Physical Defense course for women. Public Safety will offer the sixteen-hour (four four-hour sessions) course on campus to any interested female students, faculty, and staff members. We currently offer the course at least three times per year (once each term and once in the summer).

With a combination of classroom instruction in risk awareness, prevention, and reduction, hands-on defense training, and challenging practice simulations, R.A.D. seeks to develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.

R.A.D. is the largest network of its kind, with over 2000 instructors actively teaching at various colleges and institutions today. R.A.D. has trained over 200,000 women since the program began in 1989 and is the only existing program with a free lifetime return and practice policy, honored throughout both the US and Canada. R.A.D. is the only self- defense program ever endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

Gordon College maintains a medical response team that consists of staff members who are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (E.M.T.s). All members of the Department of Public Safety are either E.M.T.s or are in the process of obtaining E.M.T. certification. This means that high quality pre-hospital care is only a minute or two away at any time of the day or night.

Members of the Gordon community or visitors to campus may receive emergency medical assistance at any time by calling Public Safety at x3333 (978-867-3333 from a cell phone).

ACCESS

The campus has unrestricted access hours during the day and into the evening (usually 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.). At night, vehicle access is allowed only at the main entrance and the Woodland lot entrance (by use of a card swipe). Only members of the Gordon community and people who demonstrate a legitimate reason to enter will be allowed on campus. Emergencies or special events may necessitate changes to the unrestricted access hours.

Since the campus is accessible to intruders on foot, please report unfamiliar or suspicious individuals sighted at night to Public Safety. Residences are generally locked 24 hours a day. A Public Safety officer will check the outside doors and access routes in the evening. Please do not prop doors. Such actions affect the safety of other residents. Students observed propping residence hall doors will be fined by Residence Life staff. Individual rooms should also be locked whenever left unattended.

Soliciting is allowed only after prior approval of the Vice President for Finance in conjunction with the Dean of Students. If anyone is observed soliciting in a residence hall, they are probably unauthorized; please call Public Safety.

Visitors are not allowed access to residences unless accompanied by a resident. Public Safety will admit only residents of a building. Suspicious persons should be reported to Public Safety or Residence Life staff.

Administrative buildings are locked on a staggered schedule at night beginning around 10:00 p.m. Only authorized people will be permitted to stay in a locked building. Lone occupants of a building after hours should inform Public Safety of their presence and when departing.

TO REPORT A CRIME

Contact the department of Public Safety any time. The Department of Public Safety encourages anyone who is the victim of or witness to any crime (or suspected occurrence of a crime) to promptly report the incident to Public Safety.

Confidential Reporting

If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the college judicial system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. If desired, Public Safety can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity. 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 other members of the Gordon College community. With such information, the college can keep accurate records of the number of incidents involving students, determine whether there is a pattern of crime in a particular area, and alert the campus to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics for the college.

TO REPORT A SAFETY HAZARD

During business hours, defects in the facilities of the campus which pose a safety risk (e.g. a broken dormitory door lock) should be reported immediately to Physical Plant at x4302. During other hours, facility safety hazards may be reported to Public Safety at x4444.

TIMELY WARNINGS AND CRIME LOG

If an incident occurs, either on or off campus, which, in the judgment of Public Safety and/or the Dean of Students constitutes an ongoing threat to the Gordon community, a campus-wide "timely warning" will be issued. The warning will be issued by any means necessary to reach the intended audience. These may include email to faculty, staff and students, a warning posted on the Public Safety website, warning posters in pertinent campus locations, and use of the Emergency Notification System, which can rapidly alert the campus community via telephone, cellular phone, and text message. The warning will also be available to students, faculty and staff on the GO website.

Public Safety informs Resident Directors of crimes occurring within their residence halls. Doorknob hangtags may be used to inform residents or staff members of theft in their area.

A crime log, which lists all on-campus crimes reported to Public Safety, is available to students, faculty and staff on the GO website.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

State law requires pedestrians to use a crosswalk if within 300 feet of an intended crossing point. State law also requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in a cross walk, but be sure to give them ample warning. There are several crosswalks on campus-be sure to use them!

Skateboarders, roller skaters, and bicyclists do not have right of way in crosswalks. For your own safety, stop at crosswalks and check for motor vehicle traffic before crossing.

According to state law, pedestrians must use a sidewalk when one is available. When no sidewalk is available on a roadway, you should walk on the shoulder facing traffic. Never walk along or across expressways or interstate highways, such as Route 128. Wear clothing with bright colors or reflective strips, especially at night.

Joggers

When jogging or running, please remember the tips listed above for pedestrians, as well as these suggestions:

• for your safety, jog on campus as much as possible;
• don't walk, run or jog alone in the woods or trails;
• when jogging between twilight and dawn, be sure to wear reflective clothing; and,
• when jogging along a roadway, run against the traffic, in a single file.

Bicycle Safety

All bicycles operated and stored on campus should be registered with the Department of Public Safety. There is no charge to register a bike. Public Safety will provide a registration sticker, which will aid in the identification of your bike if it is lost or stolen. In addition, Public Safety will keep your bike's serial number on file, which can be helpful in the recovery of a stolen bike.

Bikes left on campus without a registration sticker may be confiscated by the Department of Public Safety and a storage fee may be assessed before the bike is released. If you have a bike on campus, please register it right away at the Public Safety office.

Whenever possible, bicycles should be stored in bike racks. You may not store your bike inside an academic building or residence hall (with the exception of bicycle storage rooms located in residence halls) or locked to a stairway, railing or entryway, or in any other place which might impede access or egress.

When you are riding a bicycle on public ways, state law subjects you to the same basic laws and regulations that apply to other motor vehicle operators. You must obey all traffic signs and signals, ride single file with the flow of traffic, and yield to pedestrians. You must ride on the right side of the roadway unless you are turning left. To turn left, signal, look, and move into the lane closest to the center line. It is strongly recommended that you do not listen to headphones while riding.

Hand signals should be used to communicate your intentions to pedestrians and other roadway users when stopping, turning, or passing. You and your bike must have proper lights and reflectors when operating at night. You may ride on sidewalks outside business districts, unless there is a local ordinance prohibiting it. When operating on a sidewalk, a bicyclist must yield the right of way to pedestrians.

Bike helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 85%. An approved helmet will display an ANSI, ASTM, or Snell sticker. A properly fitted and fastened helmet sits just above the eyebrows. As an adult, you can set an important example for children by always wearing a helmet when cycling. Children under the age of 13 are required to wear a proper helmet whenever they are on a bicycle.

ALCOHOL & DRUG USE

Gordon College seeks to protect the public health of the campus community by promoting a drug-free environment in compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. Gordon College prohibits the possession, use, or distribution of alcohol or illegal drugs on Gordon College property. Use of alcohol by an underage student or abuse of alcohol by any student, on or off campus, is a sanctionable offense. Underage drinking is a violation of state law and abuse of alcohol is considered conduct unbecoming of a Gordon College student. Violation of these policies will result in disciplinary action with a variety of sanctions up to and including expulsion. Violations by faculty and staff may be grounds for immediate dismissal.

Students who express the need for help in dealing with drug or alcohol dependencies are encouraged to utilize counselors in the Counseling Center, who have training and experience in that area. In addition, off-campus agencies and self-help organizations can be contacted through the Counseling Center or Residence Life staff.

Whenever feasible, Gordon College will assist employees in overcoming drug or alcohol abuse. Staff or faculty will be supported in dealing with dependency problems through release time and college health insurance, which includes coverage for counseling and therapy. Employees with drug or alcohol-related problems should contact the director of personnel, their supervisor, or the Center for Student Development.

For more details about drug and alcohol policies and programs at Gordon College, see the Student Handbook.

SEXUAL ASSAULT

Sexual assault is a prominent issue throughout the country, causing enormous pain to individuals both directly and indirectly involved. Gordon College is by no means immune to this crime; therefore, specific attention is paid in the following section to:

• the legal definition of sexual assault;
• the procedure followed once a sex offense has occurred;
• possible sanctions to be imposed following the determination of an on-campus disciplinary procedure regarding rape, acquaintance rape, or other sex offense, both forcible or non-forcible; and,
• programs Gordon College offers to promote awareness of rape, acquaintance rape and other sex offenses.

Sexual Assault: Definitions

Under Massachusetts law, there are three major categories of sexual assault:

1. Rape (sometimes called Sexual Assault 1) is the forcible, non-consensual penetration, however slight, of another person’s anal or genital opening by any part of the body or with any object, or forcible oral sex with penetration. These acts are considered forcible and nonconsensual if either of the following is true:
• They were committed by force and against a person’s will, or by threat of force (whether verbal or implied); or,
• They were committed without consent, where the victim was unable to consent due to mental or physical incapacitation (including, but not limited to, unconsciousness, intoxication, impaired mental status, etc.).
• NOTE: Under Massachusetts law, a child under sixteen is not capable of giving consent; in such cases, all of the above acts are considered rape, regardless of whether there was force or consent.
2. Indecent Assault and Battery (sometimes called Sexual Assault 2) is defined as the intentional, nonconsensual, indecent touching of another. Under Massachusetts law, the following acts are included in this definition:
• Any intentional, nonconsensual touching of another person’s breasts or genital area; or,
• Intentional, nonconsensual touching of the abdomen, buttocks, or inner thigh with distinctly sexual overtones.
• ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
• Under Massachusetts law, nonconsensual insertion of the tongue into another’s mouth is considered indecent assault & battery.
• Force and violence are NOT necessary elements of this crime.
• Under Massachusetts law, children under the age of fourteen are incapable of consenting to the above forms of sexual touching. If the victim is between fourteen and sixteen, the jury will determine whether the victim as capable of consent.
3. Non-forcible Sex Offenses: acts of unlawful sexual intercourse such as incest or statutory rape (sex offense with a person under 16 years of age).

Sexual Assault: The Issue of Consent

Sexual assault cases are full of situations where there was confusion between parties over when "no" means "no." Gordon College's policy begins with the assumption that "no" always means "no." To avoid a charge of sexual assault, affirmative consent is required, either verbally, or by voluntary acts unmistakable in their meaning.

No definition of sexual assault or consent is without controversy. However, within a community that prohibits extramarital sexual encounters, confusion and ambiguity about consent should be lessened. Moral, sensitive, and responsible behavior should be the norm, not the exception.

Please note that under Massachusetts law, intercourse is considered to be committed by force and against a person's will if:

• the person is unconscious;
• the person is asleep;
• the person is drugged;
• the person is intoxicated; or,
• the person is mentally deranged or deficient so that he or she cannot agree to the act.

Sexual Assault: Campus Resources

The following resources are available to victims of sexual assault:

1. The Department of Public Safety (ext. 4444) )-Because rape is a serious offense, people often think of turning to the police for help. The immediate concern of any employee of the Gordon College Department of Public Safety will be the victim's emotional and physical well being.

The Department of Public Safety employs two trained Sexual Assault Investigators who can answer any questions in a professional and sensitive manner and assist if the victim wishes to pursue a criminal complaint or school judicial action. If emergency medical assistance is required, transportation to the nearest medical facility will be provided. A complaint is not mandatory, and the Investigator can help the victim consider the situation and options. Alternative means of presenting a complaint (such as the campus judicial board) will also be discussed, with the ultimate choice left to the victim.

Public Safety offers Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) classes at least once per term to any interested students, faculty or staff members (with first priority given to students). For more details, see the program description above.

2. The Center for Student Development (x4263))-The Dean's Office is a primary resource for all problems concerning students. Barry Loy, Dean of Students, Chris Carlson, Associate Dean for Student Life, and Terry Charek, Associate Dean for Residence Life can provide personal counsel and advice. They can also arrange disciplinary hearings for on-campus adjudication of sexual assault complaints.

3. The Gordon College Counseling Center (x4301)-Counselors are available to deal with rape crisis trauma or to provide someone to talk to and sort out feelings. In emergencies, a counselor can be contacted through the Dean of Students or a Resident Director.

4. Residence Hall Staff-Resident Directors are Gordon College staff who make their homes in residence halls and share in the lives of their resident students. They, along with student Resident Assistants, are responsible for counseling individuals, working with groups of students, and being helpful resources in many other ways. In times of need, they can be relied upon for advice.

5. Off-Campus Resources-The North Shore Rape Crisis Center can be reached toll-free at (800) 922-8772.

Sexual Assault: Reporting an Incident

It is important to report an attempted, completed, or suspected attack. This is crucial to helping the police find the assailant and protect the Gordon College community. In addition, it is crucial that evidence of an assault be preserved if criminal charges are to be filed. Victims are therefore encouraged to contact Public Safety as soon as possible after the incident. If you report an assault to Public Safety, you will not be required to file criminal charges. Public Safety is available 24 hours a day and can assist you in making decisions and in arranging for additional help or services.

If a victim does not wish to press charges against an assailant, he or she has two other options for reporting the attack:

• The victim can make a report to Public Safety or the Wenham Police. An officer will take the victim's statement, and both departments will cooperate in an investigation, if necessary. Reporting a sexual assault to either department does not obligate the victim to press charges or go to court. It is also important to note that any report made to Public Safety or the Wenham Police is completely confidential; the victim's name will not be released without permission.
• A "third party report" can be filed with Public Safety or the Wenham Police. This would involve having another person (a third party) report all of the details of the assault to an officer. The victim remains anonymous. It is important to note that no judicial action can be taken against the rapist in a third party report. This information is used for police and community safety purposes only.

Rapists are frequently repeat offenders, and capturing them and having them brought to justice is important. This is true for both the date/acquaintance rapist and the stranger rapist.

Sexual Assault: Rape Complaints & the Court System

Massachusetts law states that rape is sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse with a person, compelling such person to submit by force and against his will, or compelling such person to submit by threat of bodily injury. Please note that:

• Penetration is the prime condition of rape-the male need not experience an emission.
• "Unnatural sexual intercourse" is oral or anal intercourse.
• Rape can occur between husband and wife under certain circumstances.

For rape to be proven in court, the prosecutor must prove that sexual intercourse was forced upon a person or was committed by threat of bodily injury. Therefore, the victim must describe to the police and to the court in detail the actions of the rapist. The victim will be questioned about her behavior and intentions prior to and during the attack.

For more information about sexual assault court proceedings in Massachusetts, consult a Public Safety Sexual Assault Investigator.

Sexual Assault: Campus Disciplinary Procedures

Whether or not victims intend to pursue legal complaints through the court system, they can seek redress through the campus disciplinary system. Such complaints can be initiated through the Center for Student Development (CSD). Gordon College has a strong interest in disciplining students or others who disrupt the academic community, whether or not the same conduct has been or would be punished by criminal law. The College has the power to discipline a student for sexual assault even when same student is also tried in the criminal courts. Complaints will be investigated by the Dean of Students or a designated staff member.

When both the accuser and accused are students, the institution must assure them both fair and conscientious counseling and, if the facts warrant, a disciplinary hearing. The accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding. Both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of any institutional disciplinary proceeding alleging a sex offense.

Sexual Assault: Hearings

Sexual assault cases will be heard by a Judiciary Board made up of faculty, staff and students. Disciplinary hearings are conducted in accordance with basic rules of due process (see Student Handbook), but do not follow the rigid procedures of the court system. Discipline may be imposed upon a finding of a probable violation of College rules, rather than under the higher standard of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Sexual Assault: Sanctions

Wanton, unacceptable conduct will and must be addressed severely for the good of students and the academic community. Sanctions can include actions from probation through suspension or expulsion.

Where the behavior of the parties is determined to be careless and irresponsible, rather than predatory and aggressive, the Dean and/or the Judiciary Board may suggest counseling, mediation, or other interventions or sanctions.

SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION

In accordance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 (CSCPA) (which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), the Gordon College Department of Public Safety provides a link (below) to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board's searchable database of registered level three sex offenders. CSCPA is a federal law that requires institutions of higher learning to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student.

The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board database is available on the Internet. Registry information provided under this section shall be used for the purposes of the administration of criminal justice, screening of current or prospective employees or volunteers, or otherwise for the protection of the public in general and children in particular. Unlawful use of the information for purposes of intimidating or harassing another is prohibited by law and a willful violation shall be punishable as a criminal misdemeanor.

The online registry is maintained by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This statement is provided in compliance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000.

ANNUAL REPORTING OF CRIME STATISTICS
The Department of Public Safety prepares this report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The report is prepared in cooperation with the Center for Student Development.

Campus crime, arrest, and referral statistics include those reported to the Gordon College Department of Public Safety, designated campus officials (including, but not limited to, directors, deans, residence life staff, and athletic coaches) and local law enforcement agencies.

Each year, an email notification that provides the report (or the web address to access the report) is sent to faculty, staff, and all enrolled students.

EXPLANATION OF THE STATISTICS
The following information will help you to better understand the above crime statistics:

• the Clery Act requires disclosure of reported incidents which constitute "hate crime." As there were no reported hate crimes in the years listed, a separate hate crime category has not been included in the statistics;
• "campus" (above) refers to reports of incidents which occurred on the main campus property.
• "residence." refers to reports which occurred inside residence halls; this category is a subset of "campus."
• "non-camp." refers to non-campus areas: buildings or property controlled by the college that are used in direct support of the institution's educational purposes, are frequently used by students, and are not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution (e.g. the Lynn Initiative); and,
• "public" refers to all public property, including thoroughfares, streets and sidewalks, that is within the campus or is immediately adjacent to and accesible from the campus (e.g. Grapevine Road).

Gordon College Department of Public Safety, October 2009
