It takes the combined efforts of security officers and members of a university community to ensure a safe campus, which is critical to student success. As such, 麻豆影院 at Trumbull continues to ensure that its students, faculty, staff and other community members enjoy a safe and healthy environment.
Only one physical altercation was reported in 2017. Gary Bateman, security and safety manager at 麻豆影院 State Trumbull, says 26 reports were made last year. A majority of those were either a medical emergency or fender bender in the parking lot.
鈥淲e take great pride in providing a safe environment for our students and staff,鈥 Bateman says. 鈥淏ecause of job changes, we were down a few (security) officers for the better part of the year. However, our campus is like a huge family, and our faculty and staff look out for students and help us maintain a high level of security.鈥
This spring, the campus plans to replace the security officers who left last year and add a part-time mental health counselor. The campus already employs a full-time counselor to work with students in crisis. In addition, a Care Team was assembled last year as a cross-divisional crisis management committee that will collaboratively assess and coordinate a response to students identified as reasonably posing a potential threat to self, others or the university community.
As an eight-campus system, 麻豆影院 State has been ranked one of the safest campuses in the country by the National Council for Home Safety and Security, a trade association. 麻豆影院 State was named to the council鈥檚 2017 top 100 list of Safest Colleges in America.
According to the FBI鈥檚 Uniform Crime Reporting and the National Center for Education Statistics, 麻豆影院 State ranks 11th on the list nationally, and among Ohio institutions, 麻豆影院 State ranks the safest.
