TESTING OF KU ALERT: EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM Kutztown University tests its emergency response procedures each year as listed at www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices /public-safety-and-police-services/emergencyresponse-and-evacuation-procedures.html. Comprehensive testing of the KU Alert Emergency Notification System is conducted once per semester (defined as Spring, Summer and Fall) to ensure functionality and to acclimate the campus community to its use. The University’s Emergency Management Director initiates the process in collaboration with the KUPD, Environmental Health and Safety and Johnson Controls, one of KU’s providers of fire protection and communications systems. The tests include, but are not limited to, the initiation of all critical active delivery methods, select primary delivery methods and select secondary delivery methods as described above. Additionally, residence hall evacuation drills are held twice each semester; drills in academic and generalpurpose buildings are conducted once each semester. Drills may be announced or unannounced. This information is collected and recorded along with the date, time and description of each drill. In conjunction with at least one occurrence of comprehensive testing, emergency response and evacuation procedures are publicized to the University community via email, postings on the University’s webpage, in The Daily Brief, a Kutztown University daily publication emailed to all employees, and Bear Essentials, a weekly newsletter sent to all students. Security Of and Access To Campus Facilities Kutztown University is a public educational institution. The administrative and academic buildings are typically open during normal business hours (8:00 am to 4:30 pm during the academic year; 8:00 am-4:00 pm during the summer months). Administrative and academic buildings are typically locked between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am, unless there is a need to keep them open for extended hours. Some academic buildings are open into the evening hours for night classes and activities. Closing hours vary from semester to semester. Other facilities, such as the Student Recreation Center (11:00 pm), Keystone Hall Pool (10:30 pm) McFarland Student Union (10:00 pm), Multicultural Center (10:00 pm), and the Rohrbach Library (midnight) extend their hours for students during the academic year. Academic and administrative buildings do not have a KUPD officer assigned to them. However, Kutztown University security officers conduct routine security rounds of campus facilities every day. Additionally, the university does have a limited number of security cameras in outdoor locations across campus and within some campus facilities, including residence halls, academic buildings, and other campus structures. The information is not monitored in real time but is typically recorded and reviewed when incidents, issues, or crimes are reported. The athletic and library facilities, the cultural enrichment programs and various other activities such as movies and concerts are typically open to the general public. There are, however, various areas of the campus that are not accessible to individuals and have postings, in a manner as prescribed by law, to serve notice to persons not to intrude or trespass, under penalty of law. These areas include, but are not limited to, hazardous and/or utility areas, sports facilities or stadiums, residence halls and academic buildings that are closed after normal operating hours. In certain buildings on campus, individuals can request special access to the facility outside of the posted hours. Access to some of these buildings is controlled by a card access system which utilizes a KU campus identification card to gain access when the building is locked. KU community members who are permitted access to a building after posted operating hours must swipe their KU card to gain access to the facility.
