OD: Upcoming Changes to Campus Safety Rules

Recorded July 7, 2009

Overview

Is your institution prepared to make a “good faith” effort to comply with new campus safety mandates enacted as part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)? Colleges and universities are now required by law to notify their community immediately of confirmed emergencies on their campuses. Additional categories have been added to hate crime reporting under the Clery Act. And campuses with residential facilities for students need to develop policies and practices to respond to missing student reports, and track fires and report statistics.

Join our expert presenters, all of whom served on the negotiated rulemaking team that helped the Department of Education draft proposed regulations due to be released later in July, to discuss what your institution needs to do. Tools to help you comply will also be shared.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand the requirements of the HEOA related to campus safety, including emergency notification and missing student protocols
• What to expect in the forthcoming proposed regulations from the Department of Education, and how you can impact the final rules
