Safety and Security Law Enforcement on the Campus The Delta College Department of Public Safety & Training is primarily responsible for providing safety and security services, enforcing traffic and parking regulations, and conducting criminal and accident investigations. The Department is located in the Main Building, N101, across from the East Main Entrance. The Department of Public Safety & Training is open during normal hours of business, excluding holidays, at which time officers of the Department may be dispatched through Bay County Central Dispatch, for emergencies only. The police officers of the Delta College Department of Public Safety & Training are vested with full peace or law inforcement authority and arrest powers on campus, granted by state statute to the Board of Trustees of Delta College. These police officers are trained in the same manner as all other law enforcement officers in the State of Michigan and are certified as such through the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. The officers also receive training in basic first aid and personal safety. The Department of Public Safety & Training maintains a close working relationship with federal, State, county, and other local law enforcement agencies and appropriate elements of the criminal justice system. Reporting Criminal Activities/Emergencies To report a crime or an emergency, you should call the Delta College Department of Public Safety & Training at 686-9111 or for intra-College calls, dial Ext. 9111. A crime or emergency which occurs off-Campus should be reported to the police department having legal jurisdiction for that area. If you are unsure which department has jurisdiction, call 686-9111. The Department of Public Safety & Training maintains two-way radio contact with Bay County Central Dispatch, providing access to assistance and support from the Bay County Sheriff Department, the Michigan State Police, Saginaw Valley State University Police Department, the Frankenlust Township Fire Department, Bay Medical Ambulance, and the Delta College Facilities Management Department. Maintenance/Security of Campus Facilities Delta College maintains a very strong commitment to Campus safety and security. Every effort is made to ensure that the Campus facilities, buildings, and grounds are maintained in such a manner as to promote safety and reduce criminal opportunity. Exterior lighting is a very important part of this commitment. The College attempts to maintain adequate exterior lighting in parking lots as well as on the pedestrian walkways. Members of the College community are encouraged to report any exterior lighting deficiencies to the Department of Public Safety or the Facilities Management Department. Written surveys of exterior lighting are taken by the officers of the Department of Public Safety & Training or by Facilities Management employees on a monthly basis. Exterior doors on Campus buildings are locked and secured each evening by Department of Public Safety & Training personnel. Facilities Management personnel are responsible for the unlocking and opening of these exterior doors. Door and security hardware operating problems are also reported by these personnel on a daily basis. Problems in exterior door locking mechanisms should also be reported to the Department of Public Safety & Training or Facilities Management Department. Parking lots on Campus are actively patrolled by Department of Public Safety & Training officers and the Department also has a variety of alarms (including fire, intrusion, hold-up and trouble) to assist the officers in patrolling and monitoring the Campus. Crime Statistics Delta College believes that an informed public is a safety-conscious public. Crime statistics, found at www.delta.edu, are provided in compliance with the “Jeanne Cleary Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.” Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other conduct or communication of a sexual nature when: • Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of a student’s employment or education. • Submission or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for employment or academic decisions. • Such conduct substantially interferes with a student’s employment or education, or creates a hostile, offensive employment or educational environment. Basically, sexual harassment is when someone makes you think you’ll get in trouble, lose your job, get a bad grade, or be denied a service unless you give in to sexual advances or put up with sexual remarks or actions. What Can I Do About Sexual Harassment? First, if you can, be sure that the harasser knows you do not welcome this conduct or communication. Try to state your objections clearly when it first begins. Don’t just hope the problem will go away. Keep notes on when and how your problem occurred and save any available evidence which may be able to support your allegation. This information will assist the College in handling your complaint. Incidences of sexual harassment should be reported to the Equity Officer, who is located in J101 (telephone: 989-686-9512; email: equityoffice@ delta.edu) or to the Vice President of Student and Educational Services in B137, or to the appropriate Division Chairperson. The Department of Public Safety can assist if the above named offices are closed. For More Information If you’re unsure you have a valid sexual harassment complaint, you should speak with the Equity Officer at the location listed above. The Equity Officer will listen to the facts regarding your situation and will explain the process that is used to handle these concerns. In compliance with the law, all claims of sexual harassment must be investigated. Complaints can be handled through an informal process and are resolved as quickly as possible.

Records Access and Confidentiality Each year the College informs students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended. This Act is to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal or formal hearings. No one outside the institution shall have access to nor will the institution disclose any information, other than Directory Information, from students' educational records without the written consent of students except to qualified personnel within the institution, to officials of other institutions in which students seek to enroll, to persons or organizations providing student financial aid, to accrediting agencies carrying out their accreditation function, to persons in compliance with a judicial order, and to persons in an emergency in order to protect the health or safety of students or other persons. All these exceptions are permitted under the Act. Within the Delta College community, only those members, individually or collectively, acting in the educational interests of students are allowed access to student educational records. These members include personnel in the Offices of the Registrar, Enrollment Services, Financial Aid, and Counseling, and academic personnel within the limitations of their need to know. At its discretion the institution may provide Directory Information in accordance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, verification of address, enrollment status, dates of attendance, degrees/ certificates and awards conferred including dates, curriculum, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic teams. Upon the publication of this notice, you are advised of the information which the College may release. Students may withhold Directory Information by notifying the Registrar in writing. Request for non-disclosure will be honored by Delta College for only one academic semester at a time; therefore, requests to withhold Directory Information must be filed with the Registrar one week prior to each semester. The law provides students with the right to inspect and review all information contained in their educational records, to challenge the contents of their educational records, to have a hearing if the outcome of the challenge is unsatisfactory, and to submit explanatory statements for inclusion in their files if they find the decisions of the hearing panels unacceptable. Delta College will permit persons who are or have been in attendance at the College to inspect and review their educational records. Students wishing to review their educational records must make written requests to the appropriate department listing the item or items of interest. Only records covered by the Act will be made available within 15 working days of the receipt date of the request. Students may not inspect and review the following as outlined by the Act: financial information submitted by their parents; confidential letters and recommendations associated with admissions, employment, job placement, or honors to which they have waived their rights of inspection and review; or educational records containing information about more than one student, in which case the institution will permit access only to the part of the record which pertains to the inquiring student. The institution is not required to permit students to inspect and review confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files prior to January 1, 1975, provided these letters were collected under established policies of confidentiality and were used only for the purpose for which they were collected. Students who believe that their educational records contain information that is inaccurate or misleading or is otherwise in violation of their privacy or other rights, may discuss their problems informally with the persons in charge of the records involved. If these persons agree with the students, the appropriate records will be amended. If not, the students will be notified within a reasonable period of time that the records will not be amended and will also be informed of their right to a formal hearing by the Vice President of Student and Educational Services.
