From the President of Colby Community College

The nature of life at any college is a reflection of the community and larger society in which it is located. At Colby Community College, students enjoy the benefits of a friendly, small-town environment nestled in western Kansas. Along with the rich educational advantages students find at CCC, they also benefit from a strong commitment to public safety, as evidenced by the information presented in this report.

That commitment can be seen in the professionalism of our staff and local law enforcement, the Safety training opportunities we make available to help students avoid becoming victims of crime, as well as in the comprehensive set of services we offer to those who require assistance.

This report provides an overview of all those services, as well as a thorough analysis of campus crime statistics. Taken in whole, it provides a snapshot of our comprehensive commitment to safety on campus, of which we are proud but always working to improve.

If after reviewing this document you have any comments or concerns, please contact our Vice President of Student Affairs at 785-460-5490.

Reporting a Crime

CCC encourages individuals to report all crimes to the CCC Director of Security and Colby Police in an accurate and timely manner. CCC provides several ways to report crimes or other emergencies to the CCC Director of Security or obtain help. It is the college's policy that the CCC community should file a report whenever they observe anything suspicious, believe they have discovered a crime, or come across a hazard which could cause harm to them or others.

CCC Security Support

Colby Community College maintains a working relationship with local, county, and state Law Enforcement.

Confidential Reporting Procedures

Crimes can be reported on a confidential basis for inclusion in the Annual Security Report. If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the college system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. The EVP can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the college can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, employees, and visitors; determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant; and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics for the institution.

CCC Security Education and Prevention

Colby Community College encourages the campus community to assist in preventing crime by minimizing opportunities to become a victim by using good judgment and safety practices and by encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their own and others' security.

Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures

The College maintains an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that contains provisions to provide immediate emergency response and evacuation in an emergency situation. This plan provides that if there is an immediate threat to the health and safety of students or employees, occurring on campus: Division of Student Affairs; Division of Public Relations; and the Office of the President may, in due consideration of the prevailing circumstances, follow aspects of the ERP notification procedures. The ERP also implements the Emergency Response Electronic Communications Procedure, which allows for the immediate notification of the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on campus.

The College Emergency Guide provides emergency response and evacuation procedures for each building on campus.

Timely Warning Notices

As an effort to provide timely notice to the CCC community, in the event of a serious incident which may pose an ongoing threat to the CCC community, a timely warning would be distributed to the campus community. As relates to electronic communications the CCC can trigger an emergency alert via text messaging and broadcast alerts to all logged on computer terminals. Once the alert is triggered, the Public Relations Team immediately updates the Central College web pages and the Public Relations team sends out notices via email and text. These systems are tested annually.

Safety of Buildings and Grounds

The college's buildings are monitored and patrolled by Colby Law Enforcement Departments, Resident Coordinators, and Resident Advisors. The Colby Police Department regularly patrols campus and reports malfunctioning lights and other unsafe physical conditions to Maintenance for correction. Facilities and landscaping are maintained in a manner that minimizes hazardous conditions. Campus lighting typically meets or exceeds the industry standard for pedestrian walkways. Shrubbery and other vegetation are kept trimmed to avoid obstructing visibility. Other personnel of the college community are helpful when they report equipment problems to Maintenance. Possession and use of weapons are prohibited on the CCC campus.

Fire Safety Report

As required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) enacted on August 14, 2008, CCC's Annual Fire Safety Report and electronic fire log are available at www.colbycc.edu and in hard copy by calling 785-460-5490.

Access to Campus Facilities: Academic and Administrative Buildings

The CCC campus is part of the city of Colby and, as such, is generally open to the public. Except as restricted in individual cases, the administrative buildings are open to the public, at a minimum, during normal business hours. Academic buildings are restricted to CCC badge access unless arrangements have been made for meetings or special events. Most facilities have individual hours and the hours may vary at different times of the year. Access to some of these buildings is also controlled by card access after normal business hours and all of these buildings have varied levels of access.

Access to Campus: Residence Halls

Access to residence halls is restricted to residents, their approved guests, and other approved personnel of the college community. Colby Community College Campus Security, the City of Colby Police officers, and Thomas County Sheriff's Department patrol the campus and residence halls on a regular basis. Resident Advisors and Resident Coordinators also maintain security measures in the halls and work with residents to achieve a community respectful of individual and group rights and responsibilities. Safety in Residence Halls and Campus Buildings

The college provides an effective structure for the protection of students in residence halls. The elements of this system include:

The college places restrictions on guests, building access, and actions that may have a detrimental effect on student security. Such restrictions include:

If a student is found to violate any of the above restrictions, the college may impose sanctions or fines on the student.

Missing Student Alert

If a member of the College community believes that a student is missing, he or she should immediately notify the CCC Department of Security by calling 785-460-5508. CCC EVP will investigate, generate a missing person report, enter relevant student data into an appropriate database and involve other law enforcement agencies as necessary. The missing student protocol will be activated within 24 hours of the determination the student is missing. The CCC EVP will notify the person identified by the student as the "missing person contact." Only authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers may have access to this information. If the missing student is under 18 years of age, and is not an emancipated individual the CCC EVP will notify the student's parent or legal guardian that the student is considered missing. In the event the student has not registered a contact person, law enforcement will be notified that the student is missing and proceed with the investigation.

Campus Security for Non-Campus Locations

The College may monitor and record criminal activity at non-campus locations and work cooperatively with outside agencies to address problems as they arise.

Students Governed by Student Code of Conduct

Students are governed by CCC's Student Code of Conduct, which contains policies affecting security on campus. The college has the right to discipline for on- and off-campus actions, up to and including expulsion. The Student Handbook can be located at https://www.colbycc.edu/student/student-handbook/index.html Emergency Response Team (ERT)

CCC has staff that are certified and trained to handle hazardous materials and other types of critical incidents.

Alcoholic Beverages

As a state college, the possession, sale, or furnishing of alcohol on college campus property is governed by CCC policy and Kansas state laws. Violators are subject to disciplinary action and criminal prosecution. CCC prohibits the possession of alcoholic beverages on college premises.

Drugs

The possession, use, sale, manufacture, or distribution of illegal drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances is a violation of college policy and state laws, and violators are subject to disciplinary action and criminal prosecution. CCC is a drug-free and alcohol-free workplace.

Education and Prevention

It is the policy of the college to offer prevention and awareness programming to reduce the risk of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking occurring among its students. Programs offered throughout the year include strong messages regarding not just awareness, but also primary prevention (including normative messaging, environmental management and bystander intervention), and discuss institutional policies on sexual misconduct as well as the Kansas definitions of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking and consent in reference to sexual activity. Bystander engagement is encouraged through safe and positive intervention techniques and by empowering third-party intervention and prevention. Programs also offer information on risk reduction that strives to empower victims, how to recognize warning signals and how to avoid potential attacks, and do so without victim-blaming approaches. Ongoing educational awareness strategies and initiatives are directed to students and employees, including faculty, in the form of campaigns, first semester student success seminars, in-service days, and campus sponsored events.

Campus Procedures for Addressing Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, Sexual Harassment and other acts of sex and gender discrimination

In the event of sexual misconduct, CCC takes the matter very seriously. If a student is accused of sexual misconduct or other gender-based violence, which typically include the crimes of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, or stalking, s/he is subject to action in accordance with Sexual Misconduct Policy in the student handbook. Sanctions can range from warnings through expulsion. However, serious and violent incidents and acts of non-consensual sexual intercourse (the policy equivalent to the crime of rape) usually result in suspension or expulsion.

Procedurally, when the college receives a report of sexual misconduct, gender-based violence, or other sex or gender discrimination the Executive Vice President/Title IX Coordinator is notified. If the victim wishes to access local community agencies and/or law enforcement for support, the college will assist in making these contacts. Protective measures are available whether a victim chooses to report to law enforcement and irrespective of whether one pursues a formal complaint through the college's resolution process. The college employs protection measures in any case where a student's behavior represents a risk of violence, threat, pattern or predation.

The Title IX Coordinator will offer assistance to victims in the form of interim or long-term measures such as:

The victim will also be connected with a counselor on-or off-campus, as well as an on-or off-campus victim's advocate. An individual isn't required to take advantage of these services and resources, but the college provides them in the hopes of offering help and support. A summary of rights, options, supports and procedures, is provided to all victims, whether they are a student, employee, guest or visitor.

When appropriate upon receipt of notice, the Title IX Coordinator will cause a prompt, fair and impartial process to be initiated, commencing with an investigation which may lead to the imposition of sanctions, based upon a preponderance of evidence (what is more likely than not), upon a responding student or other accused individual. Procedures detailing the investigation and resolution processes can be located in the CCC Student Handbook.

In any complaint of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking or other sex or gender-based discrimination covered under the federal law, Title IX, the person bringing the accusation and the responding party are entitled to the same opportunities for a support person or advisor of their choice throughout the process, including any meeting, conference, hearing or other procedural action. Once complete, the parties will be informed, in writing, of the outcome, including the finding, the sanctions (if any) and the rationale therefor. Delivery of this outcome to the parties will occur without undue delay between notifications. All parties will be informed of the college's appeal processes, and their rights to exercise a request for appeal. Should any change in outcome occur prior to finalization, all parties will be timely informed in writing, and will be notified when the results of the resolution process become final.

The Title IX Coordinator is ultimately responsible to assure in all cases that the behavior is brought to an end, the college acts to reasonably prevent its recurrence and the effects on the victim and the campus community are remedied. The Coordinator is also responsible to assure that training is conducted annually for advocates and hearing/investigative officers. Training will focus on investigation procedures, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual harassment, retaliation and other behaviors that can be forms of sex or gender discrimination covered by Title IX and Clery Act.

Title IX and the Clery Act provide protections against those who bring allegations of non-compliance with the Clery Act and/or Title IX to the attention of appropriate campus administrators. The college does not retaliate against those who raise concerns of non-compliance. Any concerns should be brought to the immediate attention of the Title IX Coordinator, Nikol Nolan and/or the Office for Civil Rights. Address correspondence to Regional Office for Civil Rights, 324 East 11th, Kansas City, MO 64106.

Confidentiality

The investigation and records of the resolution conducted by the college are maintained confidentially. Information is shared internally between administrators who need to know. Where information must be shared to permit the investigation to move forward, the person bringing the accusation will be informed. Privacy of the records specific to the investigation are maintained in accordance with Kansas law and the federal FERPA statute. Any public release of information to comply with the open crime logs or timely warning provisions of the Clery Act will not release the names of victims or information that could easily lead to a victim's identification. Additionally, the college maintains privacy in relation to any accommodations or protective measures afforded to a victim, except to the extent necessary to provide the accommodations and/or protective measures. Typically, if faculty members or administrators are asked to provide accommodations for a specific student, they are informed such accommodations are necessary under Title IX or the Clery Act, but they are not given details of the incident. Irrespective of state law or public records access provisions, information about victims is maintained privately in accordance with Title IX and FERPA

Safety Measures

Anyone with knowledge about sexual misconduct or gender-based violence, which typically include the crimes of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, or stalking, is encouraged to report it immediately. If you are the victim, some or all of these safety suggestions may guide you after an incident has occurred:

1. Go to a safe place and speak with someone you trust. Tell this person what happened. If there is any immediate danger, contact the residence hall on-call number at 785-443-4594 or 911.

2. Consider securing immediate professional support (e.g.: counseling, victim advocacy, medical services, law enforcement, campus officials, etc.) to assist you in the crisis.

On campus support:

3. For your safety and well-being, immediate medical attention is encouraged. Being examined as soon as possible, ideally within 96 hours, is important in the case of rape or sexual assault.

(A). To preserve evidence, it is recommended that you do not bathe, shower, douche, eat, drink, smoke, brush your teeth, urinate, defecate or change clothes before receiving medical attention. Even if you have already taken any of these actions, you are still encouraged to have prompt medical care, and evidence may still be recoverable.

(B). Typically, if police are involved or will be involved, they will obtain evidence from the scene, and it is best to leave things undisturbed until their arrival. They will gather bedding, linens or unlaundered clothing and any other pertinent articles that may be used for evidence.

(C). It is best to allow police to secure items in evidence containers, but if you are involved in transmission of items of evidence, such as to the hospital, secure them in a clean paper bag or clean sheet, to avoid contamination.

(D). If you have physical injuries, photograph or have them photographed, with a date stamp on the photo. Record the names of any witnesses, and their contact information. This information may be helpful to the proof of a crime, to obtain an order of protection or to offer proof of a campus policy violation.

(E). Try to memorize details (physical description, names, license plate number, car description,), or even better, write notes to remind you of details, if you have time and the ability to do so.

4. Even after the immediate crisis has passed; consider continued support on-or off-campus

5. Contact the Vice President of Student Affairs/Title IX Coordinator if you need assistance with no-contact orders or other protective measures. The college will also assist in any needed advocacy for students who wish to obtain protective or restraining orders from local authorities. If you obtain external orders of protection (e.g. restraining orders, injunctions, protection from abuse), please notify Campus Security so that those orders can be observed on campus.

6. If you are a victim and decline to report it to campus authorities or law enforcement, please secure medical attention and victim support resources listed in this publication.

Sexual Misconduct Policy

Students, administrators, faculty, staff, guests and visitors have the right to be free from all violence, including sexual violence. Everyone within the campus community is expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. The college believes in a zero-tolerance policy for all misconduct, including gender-based misconduct, which typically includes the crimes of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate administration's attention, and a respondent is found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated. This policy is intended to define community expectations, to establish a mechanism for determining when those expectations have been violated and to provide recourse for those individuals whose rights have been infringed upon. This policy has been developed herein to reaffirm these principles procedurally and programmatically.

Sexual Harassment Policy

It is the policy of CCC that no member of the college may sexually harass another. It is a violation of both law and college policy. A complete description of this policy can be located in the Policy Manual at http://www.colbycc.edu

Registered Sex Offenders on Campus

A federal law, the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act amendment to the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, requires registered sex offenders to indicate when they are enrolled or employed at institutions of higher learning. The law further requires state authorities to provide law enforcement in the jurisdiction where the college is located with a list of registered sex offenders who have indicated that they are either enrolled or employed at the college. Registry information is available at: http://www.accesskansas.org/kbi/ro.shtml. For additional information on the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, visit http://ojp.gov/smart/legislation.htm

As per Kansas definition and laws (21-5418): Hazing. (a) Hazing is recklessly coercing, demanding or encouraging another person to perform, as a condition of membership in a social or fraternal organization, any act which could reasonably be expected to result in great bodily harm, disfigurement or death or which is done in a manner whereby great bodily harm, disfigurement or death could be inflicted.

Students can also enter the information through the College Complaint Form. Students found in violation of the hazing policy will be subject to sanctions up to expulsion from Colby Community College.

Stop Campus Hazing Act Public Law No: 118-173 (12/23/2024) This act requires institutions of higher education (IHEs) that participate in federal student aid programs to report hazing incidents. It also renames the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act as the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. Specifically, the act requires each IHE to disclose hazing incidents that were reported to campus security authorities or local police agencies in its annual security report. The act defines the term hazing to mean any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with other persons) against another person or persons regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate, that (1) is committed in the course of an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in, a student organization (e.g., a club, athletic team, fraternity, or sorority); and (2) causes or creates a risk, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation in the IHE or the organization, of physical or psychological injury. Additionally, each IHE must include in its annual security report (1) a statement of current policies relating to hazing, how to report hazing incidents, the process used to investigate hazing incidents, and information on applicable laws on hazing; and (2) a statement of policy regarding prevention and awareness programs relating to hazing that includes a description of prevention programs. Further, an IHE must develop a campus hazing transparency report that summarizes findings concerning any student organization found to be in violation of the IHE's standards of conduct relating to hazing. An IHE is not required to develop or update this report unless the IHE has a finding of a hazing violation. The act does not apply to foreign IHEs.
