Campus Safety Advisory Committee Report

SUNY-Mandated Presidential Campus Safety Advisory Committee Report to President Kenny, June 15, 2008

The SUNY-mandated Presidential Campus Safety Advisory Committee was created in late February 2008. Each year a committee is charged by Stony Brook University President Kenny to produce a report on campus safety. President Kenny charged this year’s committee on March 25, 2008 to submit a report on our findings by June 15, 2008.

The President stated that the report should contain a review of:

Security policies and procedures, and recommendations for their improvement.
How we educate the campus community about sexual assault.
How we report sexual assault and how we deal with victims when we investigate.
How we handle referrals of sexual assault–related complaints to appropriate University authorities.
How we counsel victims of sexual assault-related incidents and respond to inquiries from concerned persons.

The President stated that she is also interested in the committee’s observations about any other safety-related programs and initiatives, even though these additional findings are not officially a part of the mission of this committee.
