Policy Information 88|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey The following procedures are intended to increase the safety and security for student-sponsored high profile (defined below) social events on the campus of Kutztown University. A. High profile student sponsored events may include: Indoor or outdoor venues with the capacity of 100 or more students and their guests. B. A request for space and a meeting with the Director of Student Involvement, representative(s) from Public Safety & Police Services, and the event coordinator must be initiated four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled date of any event on campus. A determination regarding security and staffing needs based on the event venue and projected attendance will be made at this joint meeting. 1. A request for space must be initiated four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled date of any event on campus. Requests for events with less than four weeks’ notice will require the approval of the high-profile social events advisory committee. All necessary paperwork including, but not limited to: purchase request, contracts, work orders etc. must be submitted three weeks prior to the event. 2. Each event coordinator and organization advisor (a member of KU’s faculty or staff) will be required to be physically present, one hour prior to public admission and for the duration of the event. They must also be accompanied by at least two additional KU faculty or staff as determined during the review process. The names of professional faculty/staff that will be present at the event must be listed on the request form before the activity is approved. Substitutions can be made prior to the start of the event; however, substitutions must have completed the High Profile Late Night training and those names must be communicated to the manager/supervisor of the Facility, as well as Public Safety & Police Services by the event coordinator. 3. The event will not open for participation if the organization advisor or event coordinator is not present before the opening of the event. 4.

The event coordinator, organization advisor or designee will open the event by welcoming the group, notifying that doors will close at midnight; designate the appropriate emergency exits, and encouraging appropriate behavior, through use of a microphone or public announcement system. This brief announcement will be made at intermittent times during the course of the event as a means of reinforcement and to inform those students who arrived after the initial start. The event coordinator or organization advisor will close the event by reiterating exiting and loitering policies. 6. Organization advisors, event coordinators, and their assistants (including student event hosts) and all professional and student security personnel shall wear visible badges (or other appropriate attire such as shirts or sweaters) identifying them as university officials. These ID’s, which shall be approved by Student Involvement (MSU 153), will be beneficial when working with visitors on campus. 7. Visibly intoxicated persons will not be permitted to participate in the event. Participants may not bring refreshments into the facility for a late-night event. A uniformed police officer will be available to ensure that this regulation and the University’s alcohol and drug policies are enforced. 8.
