Student Right to Know and Campus Security

Overview

A federal law went into effect in 1990 entitled the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act, Title II, Public Law 1012-542. Under the provisions of Title II of the act, known as the Campus Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, colleges and universities are required to publish and distribute information on campus security policies and procedures and campus crime statistics.

Policy

NLU seeks to position and maintain its facilities in convenient, safe locations. This is a prime consideration the University considers when leasing and purchasing space. In addition, policies and safety procedures are established to ensure that the possibility of criminal offense is diminished and public safety is enhanced.

The University has an Emergency Response Team, which is charged with the regular review of and adjustment to all policies and practices related to public safety and security, including student and employee publications of related material. The Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog, Student Guidebook and Student Planner contain information and policies for students of the University.

Compliance

In addition to publishing and providing access to campus security policies and procedures as indicated in the above policy, and in compliance with this federal requirement, National Louis University annually collects information regarding any criminal offenses that have occurred at all University locations. The University publishes these campus crime statistics along with related information on campus security policies and procedures.
