Dean College strongly encourages all members of the community to take action, seek support and report incidents of sexual misconduct. If the College becomes aware of sexual misconduct that impacts one or more members of the College community, the College will promptly investigate the matter and, as appropriate under the circumstances, take action to end the behavior, eliminate any hostile environment, remedy its effects and prevent its recurrence. The College will do so whether the perpetrator of the misconduct is a student, employee, guest, vendor or other third party. Scope of Policies All students, staff and faculty at Dean College, regardless of their location, are responsible for adhering to the College’s policy on Sexual Misconduct. The Title IX Coordinator will oversee the College’s response to incidents of Sexual Misconduct and ensure that appropriate resources are available to students and employees involved in these types of incidents. The College’s Title IX Coordinator is Dave Drucker , Associate Vice President, Student Life & Dean of Students. The Title IX Coordinator oversees Title IX compliance, policies, procedures, and training for the Dean College community. There are three Deputy Title IX Coordinators at the College. Deputy Title IX Coordinators oversee Sexual Misconduct compliance, training, policies and procedures, and resources available to the populations they serve.

Candles, incense, lanterns, potpourri and other flammable items including but not limited to hot plates, electric frying pans, indoor grills (including the George Foreman grill), immersion coils, flammable liquids and flammable decorations are not permitted in any residence facility on the Dean College campus. In addition, each student is given a copy at orientation that includes rules relating to permitted small appliances and fire safety in general. Dean College’s smoking policy, also found at the Community Standards page at myDean , prohibits smoking in any Dean College vehicle or building, including residence halls, individual rooms and apartments within residence halls, individual faculty offices, faculty and staff lounges, the library or Boomer’s Beanery. Smoking is also prohibited within 25 feet of any Dean College building, or adjacent sidewalks, and is only allowed at designated smoking areas. Fire Safety Education and Training Programs All Resident Directors and Resident Advisors receive fire safety and emergency action plan training and are responsible for providing fire safety training to students. Prior to the first fire drill of the year, each Resident Advisor conducts a mandatory house meeting for students during which evacuation procedures and fire safety rules are reviewed with new and returning students. All residence hall rooms are equipped with evacuation maps posted on the back of doors. These maps indicate the safest and most direct exit routes from the room in the case of an emergency. Also on the back of the door in each room is a copy of the College’s “Campus Emergency Procedures Guide,” which provides information on how to respond appropriately in emergency situations. Professional staff and faculty members receive Emergency Action Plan training during which fire safety and evacuation and procedures are reviewed. Staff and faculty are provided with copies of the “Campus Emergency Procedures Guide” at that time and the guides are displayed throughout campus. In addition, Resident Directors, Campus Police and Safety Officers and Facilities employees are provided with training as well as hands- on fire extinguisher training by a professional firefighter instructor in order to ensure their familiarity with campus equipment. The emergency fire and evacuation plans are reviewed annually to insure continuous improvement of Dean College’s Fire Safety preparedness.
