Emergency Response and Evacuation Notification

Emergency Response – Timely Warning – Evacuation Procedures (per 2024 Safety Report)

 

Timely warnings, or alerts, are provided to the community whenever a situation presents a serious or continuing threat to students or employees. The intent of a timely warning is to provide information that enables individuals to protect themselves. Warren Wilson College will immediately notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus unless issuing a notification will, in the professional 2 judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond or otherwise mitigate the emergency. This notification will take place via emergency text alert, all campus email, and emergency voice alert over loudspeakers placed around campus. These systems are tested each semester and will generally be unannounced. The campus community can enroll to receive campus text alerts here: https://my.warren-wilson.edu/ICS/Emergency_Resources.jnz.

 

Members of the Warren Wilson College Emergency Response Team will initiate the systems informing the community of the emergency and if any actions are to be taken. Building evacuation procedures and routes are posted in all campus buildings. In the event of an evacuation, faculty, staff, crew supervisors, and staff supervisors will account for all persons present and notify emergency personnel of any persons missing. 

 

All members of the Emergency Response Team have been trained and certified in Federal Emergency Management Agency Incident Command System protocols in campus emergency response procedures. Our campus emergency responders coordinate with local emergency response personnel including the Swannanoa Fire Department and Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office.

 

Warren Wilson College will also alert the campus community regarding Clery Act crime that is reported to Public Safety when it is determined that the crime represents a serious or continuing threat to students and employees. Public Safety and the Vice President for Student Life offices will collaborate on distributing campus alerts. Other members of the Emergency Response Team have also been trained in issuing emergency alerts.

Missing Student Notification

(Per 2024 Safety Report) Missing Student Notification Procedures In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, Warren Wilson has developed a procedure for notifying the designated emergency contact for a student who has been determined to be missing. A student may be deemed missing if it is reported to appropriate College officials (Residence Life Staff, Public Safety, or other Student Engagement staff) that the student has been unreachable via personal contact, telephone, email, or other means of electronic communication for 24 hours or more, or there is compelling evidence that the person is lost or in danger. All reports will be immediately reported to Public Safety. Upon receiving a report of a missing student and conducting a preliminary check of the student’s room and other areas on campus the student may frequent, Public Safety will notify the Associate Vice President of Residential Life, Compliance, & Conduct and/or the Vice President for Student Engagement. Upon determination by Public Safety that a student is missing, the designated emergency contact will be notified as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours after that determination. The student’s custodial parents or guardian will also be notified if that person is not the designated emergency contact or if no missing person contact is listed. In situations where the student is a non-resident (resides off-campus), Public Safety will help notify the proper law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where the student resides or was last seen and assist with the 7 investigation. This notification will be done within 24 hours of receiving a credible report. Nothing in the policy requires Public Safety to wait 24 hours before reporting to the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction. 

Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA)

Title IX Information

Per WWC Title IV Page

Warren Wilson College is committed to providing a workplace and educational environment, as well as other benefits, programs, and activities, that are free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. To ensure compliance with federal and state civil rights laws and regulations, and to affirm its commitment to promoting the goals of fairness and equity in all aspects of the educational program or activity, Warren Wilson College has developed internal policies and procedures that provide a prompt, fair, and impartial process for those involved in an allegation of discrimination or harassment on the basis of protected class status, and for allegations of retaliation. Warren Wilson College values and upholds the equal dignity of all members of its community and strives to balance the rights of the parties in the grievance process during what is often a difficult time for all those involved.

Policy and Procedures

Contact

Complaints or notice of alleged policy violations, or inquiries about or concerns regarding this policy and procedures, may be made internally using the following methods:

1. File a report or Formal Complaint with, or give verbal notice to, the Title IX Coordinator by using the reporting link below.

Title IX Coordinator

Dr. Dennis Jackson

[email protected]

828-771-3748

Dodge Hall Office 208

2. Report online, using the reporting form posted at https://warrenwilsoncollege.formstack.com/forms/complaint_form. Anonymous reports are accepted but can give rise to a need to investigate to determine if the parties can be identified. If not, no further formal action is taken, though measures intended to protect the community may be enacted. Warren Wilson College tries to provide supportive measures to all Complainants, which may be impossible with an anonymous report that does not identify the Complainant. 

Because reporting carries no obligation to initiate a formal response, and because Warren Wilson College respects Complainant requests to dismiss complaints unless there is a compelling threat to health and/or safety, the Complainant is largely in control and should not fear a loss of confidentiality by making a report that allows Warren Wilson College to discuss and/or provide supportive measures. 

Resources and Support

For additional resources and support, please visit Counseling and Wellness - Counseling Center. The Warren Wilson College Counseling Center (WWCCC) provides free and confidential counseling services for all registered WWC students. WWC offers a range of services including short-term individual, group, and couples counseling; crisis intervention, faculty and staff consultation/support, and referrals to regional/community providers and resources. 

Supportive Measures

Please link on the policy above for more information. In general, Warren Wilson College will offer and implement appropriate and reasonable supportive measures to the parties upon notice of alleged harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate and as reasonably available. They are offered without fee or charge to the parties to restore or preserve access to Warren Wilson College’s education program or activity, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties and/or Warren Wilson College’s educational environment, and/or to deter harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation.

Student health records must be completed in order to register for classes. These records are confidential and give past medical history information as well as immunization status.
