Crime & Personal Safety
Touro University has several layers of protection to ensure campus safety is as high as possible. Along with uniformed security personnel who patrol the campus, Touro has 10 Blue Light Emergency Phone towers located across campus. Touro also partners with Rave, an Emergency Notification System (ENS), to provide timely alerts and information about incidents, events or emergencies. The Rave notification system is tested to ensure students, faculty and staff receive notifications in a timely, efficient manner.
Crime & Security Reports
While safety is our top priority, incidents do happen. It's important for students, faculty and staff to have access to information that will allow them to make appropriate safety decisions for themselves.
Campus CARES Team
The TUC Campus CARE Team is a task force of staff and faculty who meet regularly to promote student success and campus safety by identifying individuals who demonstrate early warning signs of possible concerning, distressing or disruptive behavior. The CARE Team’s goal is to successfully engage, support, and minimize concerns by intervening at the earliest possible point. Accomplishing this goal requires a coordinated institutional response that includes all members of the TUC community.
When to Report
Trust your instinct. If you see someone who is potentially in distress, report it.
Environmental Safety
Touro has protocols for sharps, bio-hazardous wastes, and other medical wastes. These are managed and disposed of according to the Medical Waste Management Act set by DHS. You may also find a Full List and Links to Waste Guides, Plans & Manuals here. Touro also has policies and procedures for accidental occupational exposure to needles, blood, and blood borne products.
Sexual Misconduct
Touro students, faculty and staff undergo training about expected appropriate behavior while on campus, while working or volunteering at off-site locations related to TUC activities.
