Serious Illness, Injuries or Accidents

Unauthorized Visitors

• At any time when an unauthorized visitor is present in a residence hall or on campus, Public Safety and the On-Call Administrator should be notified. • If the unauthorized visitor is a minor (under 18 years of age) in a residence hall, they will be required to leave provided a parent or guardian can take responsibility for them. • If the unauthorized visitor is trespassed from campus or found in a residence hall while suspended from that hall, Public Safety should be contacted by the staff member who identified the unauthorized visitor. The visitor will be escorted off-campus by Public Safety staff and may be trespassed from campus by the Department of Public Safety. If the visitor has repeatedly returned to campus, in violation of a trespass or suspension order, the Police will be contacted. • All student-specific and situational information must be kept confidential whenever possible.

Loss of Service/ Utilities Interruption

• The Facilities Services should be notified immediately when there is loss of electricity, heat, and/or water in a residence hall. Public Safety will be the main contact for such emergences outside of standard business hours. • If Public Safety becomes aware of a utility interruption from a source other than LIU Promise staff, they should notify the On-Call Administrator. • The On-Call Administrator will speak with the Facilities staff who responds to the building in order to estimate a time for repair. • The On-Call Supervisor will be contacted and work with the On-Call Administrator to determine a plan for the affected residents. If residents require relocation, the On-Call Administrator will work with the On-Call Supervisor to coordinate room changes. • If power is out in the building and the fire system is not operational as a result, students may only remain in the building if a fire watch is established, utilizing Public Safety and on-call staff. • If a flood occurs in a residence hall, residents will be asked to leave the affected area until the excess water can be eliminated. The On-Call Administrator and any additional on-call staff necessary will take a detailed summary and photographs of any items damaged (by resident, by room). The damage summary must be included with the corresponding Public Safety incident report. • Information regarding efforts to repair the problem should be shared with affected residents whenever possible. Parents may also be notified according to the resident’s emergency contact information if necessary. • All student-specific and situational information must be kept confidential whenever possible.

Violent Crimes or Harassment against Persons (Including Sexual Harassment)

Harassment or threat of violence is defined as any person who makes substantial threats, exhibits threatening behavior or engages in violent acts while on University property which interfere with an individual’s personal freedom or privacy.

• When an alleged incident occurs, the informant contacts Public Safety immediately, even if it is after the event. The Public Safety Officer will respond immediately. • When the incident involves a resident student and/or takes place in a residence hall, the On-Call

Administrator and Supervisor will be notified.
