Annual Campus Security Report (Jeanne Clery Act)
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is the landmark federal law, originally known as the Campus Security Act, which requires colleges and university across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The law is tied to an institution’s participation in federal student aid programs and it applies to most institutions of higher education both public and private. The Act is enforced by the United States Department of Education. A 1998 amendment formally named the law in memory of Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshmen, who was raped and murdered in her campus residence hall in 1986. The backlash against unreported crimes on numerous campuses across the country led to the creation of this Act. The Annual Security Report contains information regarding campus security and personal safety including topics such as: crime prevention, fire safety, campus law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus. They also contain information about crime statistics for the three (3) previous calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or occupied by Paier College; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to an accessible from our campus locations. The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Act) – amended Title IX in 1990 and requires all publicly funded colleges and universities to share information about all types of crimes on campus, and their efforts to improve campus safety as well as inform the public of crime in or around campus. The Clery Act also requires schools to provide options to survivors of sexual misconduct so they may have the opportunity to succeeding their educations goals. Colleges must also assist survivors in notifying local law enforcement in a safe and empowered manner. Finally, institutions of higher education must provide specific rights to both the survivor and the accused through the disciplinary process

What is Title IX?

Title IX (1972) is a federal (national) law that serves as a powerful tool for combating campus violence. The law requires colleges receiving federal funding to combat gender-based violence and harassment and respond to survivors’ needs in order to ensure that all students have equal access to education. Any sexual violence or physical abuse, as defined by Connecticut law, whether committed by an employee, student, or member of the public, occurring on college-owned or controlled property, at college-sponsored or supervised functions, or related to or arising from college attendance or activity is a violation of District policies and regulations, and is subject to all applicable punishment, including criminal and/or civil prosecution and employee or student discipline procedures. No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL: The Provost

EFFECTIVE: January 1^st 2020

DISTRIBUTE: All faculty/staff/students

Policy on Intranasal Naloxone Use on Campus

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to participate in an initiative to quell opioid-related drug overdose fatalities in the State of Connecticut and to proactively ensure Paier College Students, Staff, Faculty and visitors have access to the life-saving drug Naloxone (brand name, “Narcan”). Naloxone is a safe, easy to administer medication that reverses the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose. This policy will assist the Paier College Community with easily locating a supply of Naloxone on campus; seeking assistance from the Office of the Provost and Emergency Medical Services (police, ambulance services, fire department etc.).

Definitions

Intranasal Naloxone – an opiate receptor antagonist and antidote for opiate overdose produced in intranasal form.

Opioid Overdose – an acute condition including, but not limited to, extreme physical illness, decreased level of consciousness, respiratory depression, coma, or death resulting from the consumption or use of an opiate, or another substance with which an opiate was combined, or that a layperson could reasonably believe to be an opiate-related drug overdose that requires medical assistance.

Patient – a person who may be experiencing an opioid overdose.

Paier Responder– A Paier employee who will assist a person who may be experiencing an opioid overdose.

EMS – “Emergency Medical Services” that provide pre-hospital emergency medical care; such practitioners provide out of hospital care for those with illnesses or injury.

Policy Information

When a person is rendered unresponsive or suffering from possible opioid overdose 911 should be called as soon as possible and an administrator/staff/faculty member at Paier should be notified as soon as possible (prior to, during or as soon as practicable after each use of Intranasal Naloxone). Paier College strongly suggests that Nalxone be administered while on the phone with EMS or in the presence of EMS. Once EMS personnel has arrived, the Paier responder must inform EMS about the care given and turn over the used Intranasal Naloxone device to be disposed of properly.

Naloxone kits will be stored in the following places:

• The first floor of building 14 next to the fire extinguisher. The kit will be in a labeled box attached to the wall.
• The library next to the fire extinguisher. The kit will be in a labeled box attached to the wall.
• The first floor lobby of building 20 next to the fire extinguisher. The kit will be in a labeled box attached to the wall.

Paier College Naloxone policy will be covered in each student orientation (January and August of each year); each faculty and staff orientation (January and August of each year); and be listed in the student handbook and employee handbook. The policy will also be readily available on the www.paier.edu website.

The Office of the Provost will manage the purchase, storage and distribution of Naloxone. The expiration date of each Naloxone kit will be noted in an electronic calendar system each year. Two (2) months prior to a Naloxone kit’s expiry the Provost will be notified and a replacement kit will be obtained. Each kit will be inspected monthly to determine replacement of used or expired opioid antagonists. Please email CDegregorio@paier.edu or call 203.287.3031 if you have questions about Naloxone.
