HADLEY UNION BUILDING SECURITY POLICY
Student Cooperative Association Inc.
POLICY
The Student Co-op adopted a policy stating different levels of security that
is used as our guideline for security staffing at The Hadley Union Building
(HUB) for late night events with respect to their congruency, The following
security policy goals are:
1. To provide safety and well-being to all persons attending and supporting
HUB late-night events, including: student patrons, student programmers,
contracted security personnel, University and Co-op employees, and performing
artists.
2. To meet the legal and contractual obligations of the Student Co-op
membership, employees and all persons attending and supporting HUB late night
events, including: student patrons, contracted security personal and performing
artists.
3. To act in an efficient, yet reasonable and prudent manner, in implementing
security measures at HUB late-night events.
The HUB late-night events can be graded in terms of the “level of
risk” they pose and consequently, security measures need not be consistent
for all HUB late-night events. Those factors that may be considered in grading
the “level of risk” posed by specific HUB late-night events include
the nature of the event and the degree to which the event will attract non-IUP
student patronage.
Levels of Security
1. Graduated security levels are applied to Thursday through Saturday HUB
late-night events (defined as any event that begins or continues beyond 9p.m.),
based upon the broad nature of the event per the following:
Level I: No security measures deemed appropriate. Events graded at Level I
include meetings, lectures, displays, and presentations to seated audiences.
Level II: Light to moderate security measures deemed appropriate, which will
include some number of contracted security personnel.
Events graded at Level II include comedy shows and open-microphone
activities.
Level III: Moderate to full security measures deemed appropriate, which will
include some number of contracted security personnel. All participants and
support personal must pass through electronic screening devices at the facility
entrance. Events graded at Level III include dances. DJ parties, music events
and entertainment that draws a significant non-IUP student patronage.
2. Given the need to secure the entire building and to deny entry to the
building except through secured entrances, events graded at Level III security
may not begin prior to 9:00 p.m.
3. The sponsoring programming group maintains the opportunity to recommend a
security level for its sponsored event and to consult with the HUB Director
about his or her determination of the appropriate security level for that
particular event.
4. The HUB Director has the final authority to determine the level of
security for an event as circumstances warrant.
Requirement for All Organization Holding Events in the HUB:
Due to the need to schedule security personnel for a large number of events
held throughout the academic year, groups are required to have completed
paperwork turned into the HUB Front Desk at least one (1) full week prior to the
event. Also an advisor must be present during the event.
Security and Safety:
The Student Cooperative Association, Inc. contracts with a private security
firm to provide safety and security for programs and events held within
association facilities. In addition the Student Co-op Facilities Coordinator
acts as liaison between the association and the security firm, and has the final
authority concerning all safety and security issues.
Commitment:
The Student Co-op remains committed to provide a safe and secure environment
for individuals and groups using Student Co-op facilities.
Your support and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
