2026 KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 39 departments of Human Resources and Public Safety to develop a plan to reduce risk of harm while on campus or coming and going from campus, such as escorts or special parking arrangements; distribution of a picture of the offender; and/or block incoming emails from a particular sender. If it is determined that there is a danger that a temporary work location reassignment might alleviate, Human Resources will facilitate dialogue with the supervisor to see if the operational impact is acceptable and a move can be accommodated. The University cannot apply for a legal order of protection/protection from abuse (PFA) from the applicable jurisdiction(s). The Complainant is required to apply directly for these services and can be assisted by KUPD if requested. Protection from abuse orders may be available Monday-Friday from the Office of Prothonotary by filing out an affidavit. The request is then heard before a Judge of Common Pleas, and if granted, is good for ten (10) days. A hearing date will then be set when the Complainant can apply for a permanent protective order, which the Judge can grant for a period for up to three years. Emergency PFAs are available after hours when court is closed through the District Magisterial Judge. Complainants should call KUPD at (610) 683-4001 (or x34001 from an oncampus phone) to get police assistance for an incident of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking and assistance in applying for an afterhours emergency PFA. (The address and telephone number for the local courthouse where PFAs may be obtained may be found in the off-campus resource section below.) Students and employees can request an advocate for court and legal assistance by contacting: SafeBerks (Domestic Violence 24 Hour Hotline) 255 Chestnut Street Reading, PA 19602 1-800-372-SAFE (7233) Text SAFE BERKS to 20121 www.safeberks.org The University may issue an institutional “no contact” order if deemed appropriate or at the request of the Complainant or Respondent (collectively the “parties”). To the extent of the parties’ cooperation and consent, University offices will work cooperatively to ensure that the parties’ health, physical safety, work and academic status are protected, pending the outcome of a formal university investigation of the complaint. For example, if reasonably available, the parties may be offered changes to academic, living, or working situations in addition to counseling, health services, visa and immigration assistance and assistance in notifying appropriate local law enforcement. Additionally, personal identifiable information about the parties will be treated as confidential and only shared with persons with a specific need to know who are investigating/adjudicating the complaint or delivering resources or support services to the Complainant (for example, publicly available recordkeeping for purposes of Clery Act reporting and disclosures will be made without inclusion of identifying information about the Complainant, as defined in 42 USC 1395 (a) (20).) Further, the institution will maintain as confidential, any supportive measures provided to the parties to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality is possible and would not impair the ability of the institution to provide the accommodations or protective measures. The University does not publish the name of crime victims nor house identifiable information regarding victims in the KUPD’s Daily Crime Log or online. Victims may request that directory information on file be removed from public sources by request. Students can self-elect to restrict using self-service online in their University account or by contacting the Registrar. Employees may have the ability to restrict identifying information and should contact Human Resources for further information and assistance. Interim Support and Protective Measures The University has procedures in place that serve to be sensitive to those who report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and other sexual misconduct. The university will inform individuals about their right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of counseling, health, mental
