2026 KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 54 (See the Crime Prevention & Security Awareness Programs for Students, Faculty and Staff section for a full description of the program offered.) Protection of Minors: POM training is required of all new faculty, staff, and student employees. Employees must annually review the training online and ondemand. They are automatically reassigned training each year and are sent automated email reminders when the training is due. New employees and student employees are assigned training once they start their employment or return to their campus employment role. Topics covered include recognizing child abuse, detecting child predators and reporting suspected abuse. Residence Life Staff Training and Programming: Residence Life Staff Training and Programming: Training of student and professional staff employed by Residence Life focuses on issues of sexual assault on college campuses, understanding the concepts of consent, force and incapacitation, the impact of sexual assault and understanding university policy. Residence Life’s Community Assistant (CA) programming model identifies six goals, or core values, with each having its own sub-categories of programming objectives. One of the core values is “Accountability.” Within this category, CAs provide programming opportunities for residents that offer information and resources on making responsible choices (including involving alcohol), healthy relationships, dating violence, risky behaviors, as well as safe and unsafe sexual encounters. In addition, every Resident Director and Community Assistant plans and implements “all-hall” programs promoting sexual assault awareness each academic year. All Hall programs are marketed and designed to catch residents’ attention about the serious issue of sexual assault and dating violence, while addressing topics such as identifying unhealthy relationships, safe sex and dating practices, consent, breaking myths, bystander intervention, sexual harassment and violence and the resources available to help those in need. The staff gathers information from campus and local resources and presents it at the program. Brochures and newsletters are used as a tool for residents to take information away from the programs as well. Each program is tailored to the community served. These programs also touch upon how students can remain safe and include information about how alcohol use relates to incidents of sexual violence. Residence Life also sponsors a large-scale program dealing with prevention of sexual violence. Every residence hall shared area bathroom displays the “Potty Paper” publication from the Women’s Center in every stall. This poster contains information on upcoming programs, as well as the contact information for campus and community resources on rape, sexual assault and domestic violence. The Potty Paper was developed to provide campus and local hotline information to individuals in a safe space (restroom stalls) where people could rely on finding the information in a private, consistent and reliable manner. Throughout the year, CAs create bulletin boards with information about consent, resources, warning signs of sexual assault, definitions of sexual violence and sexual violence myth busters. They work collaboratively with campus constituents such as the Health Promotions Coordinator and the Women’s Center to provide quality programs in the residence halls. In addition, they also produce another “all hall” program on Alcohol Awareness which includes education on topics related to sexual assault such as bystander intervention, myth busting, and resources. Student Conduct Programs. Student conduct sanctioning programs related to sexual assault, conflict resolution or relationship violence are available to students and issued on an as needed basis. Sanctions are assigned as part of the student conduct process when a student or student organization is found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Conflict-Wise, a sanction program to address incidents of incivility and interpersonal conflict, is also offered. Additionally, self-directed on-line workshops include Bystander Intervention, Dating Violence & Date Rape; Civility and Respect; Diversity: Understanding Myself &
