Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act
The Student-Right-to-Know and section 485 of the Higher Education Act 1965, as amended, requires each institution receiving student aid assistance to prepare and distribute an Annual Security Report (ASR) which provides information and reports on safety, sensitive crimes, drug-free campus and workplace resources, and the 2013 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) The ASR also sets forth its policies on crime prevention issues and gives statistics on a number of specific crimes. In addition to publishing crime statistics, the act requires the Institute to provide timely warnings to the campus community of certain crimes reported to the MGH Police or local law enforcement which may be considered a threat to other students and employees. Students, faculty, and staff are provided via the intranet with a review of Institute security policies. Campus Crime and Security Survey data can be viewed by the general public at this website: http://ope.ed.gov/security. Statistics are provided by MGH Police, Security and outside services.
The information has been developed collaboratively by staffs of the Institute, MGH Police, Security and Outside Services and Partners Healthcare System Office of General Counsel. The “Institute’s Annual Security Report” covers information on the Charlestown Navy Yard and the Institute campus. The Institute is located within the Charlestown Navy Yard campus. Specific information unique to the Institute is also provided within this packet. We are all committed to providing a safe learning and work environment and information on available resources for students and employees should the need arise. If you have any questions or comments about the information provided, please contact any of the following: Office of Student Affairs, Facilities Manager, Human Resources or the Security Officer on duty in the lobby of the Catherine Filene Shouse Building and/or the 2CC Building.
