Introduction
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University are private liberal arts higher education institutions that share a common curriculum and coordinate academic and extracurricular activities. The Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict founded the College of Saint Benedict in 1913 with an intentional commitment to the education of women. Saint John’s University was founded in 1856 by the monks of Saint John’s Abbey as a men’s university. Both campuses, located six miles apart, have a coeducational atmosphere. The mission of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University is to provide the very best residential liberal arts education in the Catholic Benedictine university tradition. They foster integrated learning, exceptional leadership for change and wisdom for a lifetime.
The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) is a private women’s Catholic liberal arts college located in St. Joseph, Minn. CSB is a residential campus with approximately 2,085 students of which 1,569 lived on the campus in 18 residence areas and apartment complexes for 2008. CSB also provides the residence for approximately 35 Saint John’s Preparatory School female students. The College of Saint Benedict is closely associated with the Saint Benedict’s Monastery. The college and the monastery are separate corporations that work closely together and function as a community. The CSB campus consists of 292 acres with 56 buildings. Approximately 2,085 students, 172 faculty, 162 administrators, 163 support staff, 10 temporary employees and 143 sisters are members of the college/monastic communities. The monastic community resides on an additional, approximate 307 acres.
Saint John’s University (SJU) is a private, liberal arts university for men located in Collegeville, Minn. SJU is a residential campus with 1,432 students residing on campus in 16 residence areas and apartment complexes for 2008. The university is owned by its sponsoring organization, Saint John’s Abbey (The Order of Saint Benedict, Inc.). The abbey and university share an 80-acre campus in the midst of a 2,600-acre tract of woodlands and lakes. Approximately 1,931 under-graduates, 120 coeducational graduate School of Theology students, 173 faculty, 326 administrators, 309 support staff, and 123 monks are members of the university/monastic communities. Saint John’s Preparatory School, with a 2008 coed enrollment of 391, 69 residing in Prep School campus housing, and a faculty and staff of 54, has facilities sharing the university campus.
CSB/SJU student organizations do not own any off-campus facilities.
CSB Dept. of Security and SJU Dept. of Life Safety
Since no campus is completely free of crime, CSB and SJU have developed a series of policies and procedures relating to campus security. These policies and procedures are designed to ensure that community members are fully aware of the safety issues on the campuses and to take action to prevent and to report illegal and inappropriate activities. CSB/SJU expressly reserves the right to modify or adopt additional policies or procedures at any time without notice. Such changes may appear in successive issues of this report. The CSB Department of Security and the SJU Department of Life Safety have been established to assist the institutions in this objective. Representatives of the student body, faculty and staff have collaborated over time to develop policies and procedures to assure the well-being of all persons and the safety of their possessions. The effects of these policies and procedures also extend to members of our academic community who live away from the campus.
The CSB director of security and the SJU director of life safety maintain close working relationships with the St. Joseph Police Department and the Stearns County Sheriff’s Department for assistance with criminal incidents occurring on the campuses and support services for special events. The directors also maintain a close working relationship with all elements of the criminal justice system. Regular meetings are held with other agencies, both formally and informally, and crime-related reports and statistics are routinely exchanged.
CSB Department of Security
CSB Department of Security, under the administration of the director of security, is responsible for the enforcement of federal, state and local laws as well as college policies and rules. Security officers are responsible for first-response services until
emergency assistance is available by local police, fire or medical agencies. Security officers provide a safe environment that enhances the campus learning experience and complements the
college’s Benedictine values.
The Department of Security is located in the west wing of Mary Commons. A security officer is available 24 hours a day. The security staff consists of non-commissioned professional security officers augmented by student security officers. The staff meets all standards as established by Minnesota state statute to provide routine security services including the escort service as well as emergency response services. The uniformed security officers patrol the campus buildings and grounds either in vehicles, on bicycles or on foot 24 hours daily.
SJU Department of Life Safety
SJU Department of Life Safety, under the administration of the director of life safety, is responsible for the enforcement of
federal, state and local laws as well as college policies and rules. Security officers are responsible for first response services until emergency assistance is available. Security officers provide a safe environment that enhances the campus learning experience and complements the university’s Benedictine values.
The Department of Life Safety, located in the lower level of Thomas Hall, operates with a dispatcher and a security officer available 24 hours daily. The security staff consists of non-commissioned professional security officers augmented by students serving as dispatchers and student security officers. The staff meets all standards as established by Minnesota State statute to provide routine security services including the escort service as well as emergency response services. The uniformed security officers patrol the campus buildings and grounds either in vehicles, on bicycles or on foot 24 hours daily.

Crime Prevention and Reporting
Because the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University operate in close collaboration and the fact that persons from either institution may teach, study, work or socialize on both campuses, the two colleges cooperate in establishing and enforcing policies and procedures for security. The shared philosophy to take proactive roles to reduce the opportunities for criminal activity results in programs which attempt to eliminate or minimize criminal opportunities while at the same time encourage students and employees to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. Individuals are urged to act responsibly and to take sensible precautions to protect themselves and their possessions. CSB and SJU have also developed comprehensive plans for collaborative management of crisis situations.
Students, employees and guests of CSB and SJU are encouraged to report all criminal activity and other emergencies to campus security. CSB Department of Security and SJU Department of Life Safety are the security offices to which all criminal reports are to be processed. Security officers will request assistance from law enforcement, rescue, fire and ambulance as appropriate. CSB and SJU reported crime documentation is forwarded to local law enforcement officials for follow up investigations and victims assistance. Members of the campus community are strongly encouraged to adhere to all local, state and federal laws and college rules of conduct. Members of the campus community violating laws or college/university policies are referred into the campus judicial system for appropriate action.
Institutional policies are published in the CSB Every Woman’s Guide and the SJU J-Book. Both student handbooks are electronically published on the home Web sites (http.www.csbsju.edu) and include disciplinary policies and rules for their enforcement. An annual review and update serves to inform students of any changes in policies (e.g., resident agreement, alcohol, visitation, sexual harassment, parking violations, etc.) as well as college services (e.g. counseling, health advocates, food service, bus service, etc.) Employees receive institutional policies published in hard copy Faculty Handbooks and Staff Handbooks. In addition, the CSB/SJU Joint Human Rights Policies and Procedures, dealing with issues of human rights, sexual harassment and sexual assault, are distributed to each student and employee by the Human Rights Officer.
CSB and SJU use a variety of programs and procedures to alert campus residents, commuter students, employees and campus guests to potential dangers of living/working in a campus, or any, human community. These programs are developed jointly and presented in collaboration between CSB and SJU. Some CSB/SJU specific campus security/personal safety/health education programs are:

Crime Alerts
When the CSB Department of Security and/or SJU Department of Life Safety identifies a crisis situation and/or receives a formal security report indicating a violent crime has occurred on or near their campuses and there is a reasonable potential that the situation presents a threat to students, employees or guests, “security alerts” will be prepared and posted in campus public areas in a timely manner. The bulletins posted at both campuses provide public information about the crime, along with prevention awareness information.
Publications
This brochure is published on-line at: x9144.xml and gives statistical summaries of criminal and security activity incidents as prepared by the CSB director of security and the SJU director of life safety.
Annual Report
A comprehensive CSB/SJU annual report of crime-related statistical data is compiled, published and distributed in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The CSB director of security and the SJU director of life safety include local law enforcement statistics in the annual report.
All CSB and SJU academic facilities are locked except for normal business hours and authorized events. CSB and SJU have a keying system in place that exceeds industry standards. All keys are controlled according to the Lock/Key Policy. All students living on CSB/SJU campuses are given crime awareness and prevention information at the beginning of each school year. Residence hall meetings are the prime setting to share information with students and listen to their concerns. Students are instructed to keep their living quarters locked to protect themselves and their possessions. Verbal communications as well as printed materials in the form of brochures and posters are distributed.
CSB residential buildings are locked 24 hours daily. Resident students must utilize an electronic card access system for exterior doors/access into their resident building. Residents must escort their guests during visiting hours. Residents have the responsibility not only for their personal safety but also for the safety of other members of their community. The effectiveness of the external electronic locking and internal single room key systems are dependent upon residents not holding exterior doors open and immediately reporting lost/stolen access cards and single room keys to the Department of Security and the resident hall staff.
At SJU, the majority of campus residence halls have exterior doors on card access that are secured at night. Flynntown Residential Apartments do not have card access, but exterior doors are key locked. Residents are encouraged to escort their guests during visiting hours. Additional security measures are in place during semester breaks.
Facility Design and Maintenance Service
The CSB Department of Security and facility maintenance managers and the SJU Department of Life Safety and physical plant managers review all construction projects, renovation plans and equipment purchases to assure that the most updated safety and security features are considered. Security officers and facility maintenance, physical plant employees, perform regular safety and security inspections of campus facilities and grounds. Reported repairs affecting safety and security issues are a priority service request to be completed by facility maintenance, physical plant in a timely manner. While routine maintenance is done during normal business hours, emergency maintenance is available 24 hours a day, and can be arranged by contacting campus security.
CSB and SJU promote the need for responsible behavior in all personal relationships and serious academic endeavors. With this understanding, CSB and SJU expects that all students and employees of the college will conduct themselves in a responsible manner that shows respect for others and the local community. CSB and SJU believe that an environment to enable both students and employees to pursue their goals should be fostered, and that this environment should be free from the effects of drug abuse.
CSB and SJU comply with federal, state and local laws, which regulate the possession, use and sale of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances. Whether on campus or at college- sponsored activities, policies prohibit the following:
1. Distribution, possession or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance;
2. Providing alcoholic beverages to individuals under 21 years of age or possession of alcoholic beverages by individuals under 21 years of age;
3. Illegal possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage, public intoxication, driving while intoxicated and drinking alcoholic beverages in an unlicensed public place.
Hosts of campus events where alcoholic beverages are to be served must obtain a permit from the appropriate food service director or activities director and accept responsibility for assuring that all guests act responsibly.
CSB and SJU campus-wide programs such as BACCHUS, employee development, DWI Task Force, student government, counseling offices, career services and other individual residence hall coordinated programs promote education about chemical health and substance abuse. Programs that address alcohol- or drug-related issues, and emphasize the clear, statistical relationship between alcohol or drug abuse and many disorderly, unsafe or criminal activities, begin as a part of the first-year orientation. The CSB/SJU counseling offices and the SJU Health Center provide assessment, assistance and intervention resources as necessary.
Possession of Weapons or Firearms
No weapons of any kind are allowed in the possession of CSB/SJU students, employees or guest/visitors. Enforcement in the broadest sense applies and includes any weaponry, whether real, toy or facsimile, that can cause bodily harm or threat of harm. Any exceptions to this policy, including those for academic or demonstration purposes, must be approved from the CSB Director of Security or the SJU Director of Life Safety Services.
Weapons for game hunting or trapshooting must be registered with and securely stored at either CSB Security or Life Safety Services of SJU.
No weapons of any kind are allowed on the campus of the College of Saint Benedict except those provided by ROTC and weapons for game hunting, including archery and trapshooting equipment that are registered with and stored at CSB Campus Security. This statement is to include any weapons considered real that can cause bodily harm or threat. This policy specifically includes but is not limited to the prohibition of fireworks, firecrackers, firearms, BB Guns, explosive materials, or knives with blades in excess of four (4) inches. It also includes realistic replicas of real weapons.
CSB/SJU are committed to creating and maintaining an environment in which all members of the community are aware of the rights and human dignity of every other human being. It is CSB/SJU policy to seek prompt and equitable resolution of allegations of discrimination relating to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or handicap, as well as to incidents of sexual harassment or assault. In an effort to protect the victim’s identity, the Human Rights Officer may process third party reports of sexual violence to the security departments.
A complete copy of the human rights policy and complaint procedure is available from the human rights officer or the CSB/SJU Web site: http://www.csbsju.edu/humanrights/.
Sexual Harassment/ Sexual Assault
CSB and SJU will not tolerate sexual harassment or sexual assault in any form on the campuses, or at any campus-sponsored event.
Individuals identifying themselves as victims are strongly encouraged to report the incident immediately to the human rights officer or campus security.
The following statistical information was compiled in coordination with the CSB Department of Security crime reports and the St. Joseph Police Department crime reports; SJU Department of Life Safety and the Stearns County Sheriff Department crime reports. The statistics identify the number of reports of crimes not necessarily confirmed cases and/or convictions. They report the total number of crime reports that have occurred on each institution-owned facilities and grounds. Categories of reports identified are those required to be reported according to federal legislation (See S. 1150, H.R. 102-630, 101st Congress, 2nd Session, June 29, 1992).
