In compliance with the federal JeanneCleryDisclosureofCampusSecurity

PolicyandCampusCrimeStatisticsActof1998 (formerly the CrimeAwareness

andCampusSecurityActof1990), NYU Sydney submits its annual campus

security report, including crime statistics for calendar year 2014.

The utmost safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is a top priority

for New York University. We are dedicated to maintaining an academic site

where learning excels in an environment unencumbered by safety concerns or

fear for personal well-being.

Although the area surrounding the site has a low rate of violent crime,

crime prevention remains a high priority. NYU seeks to ensure the safety of

its students and employees. The local police force, a closely screened and

well-trained staff and the students themselves all share in the responsibility of

making NYU Sydney a safe place to study, work, and live.

Security and Safety

NYU Sydney has separate facilities for student housing and academics. Both

locations require authorized swipe card access for entry. Student housing is

provided by a third-party vendor, which provides on-site staff around the clock,

and reception staff from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10

a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays.

The NYU Sydney academic center is contained within the lower four floors of

a seven-story building. Additional tenants occupy the higher levels. All tenants

and students require swipe card access for entry to the building. Internally,

swipe card access to NYU spaces is restricted to NYU staff, faculty, students,

security officers and cleaners. In 2014, there was no security guard on site, but

since January 2015 there has been a security guard posted at the academic

center from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays. In addition, there are 23 security

cameras installed throughout the building. The video camera feed is saved

remotely and retained for 70 days. This buffered video can be accessed by the

IT consultant upon request.

Site administrators maintain dialogue with the New South Wales (NSW)

Police Force and the United States Consulate to foster a good working

relationship with both organizations and receive pertinent updates or alerts.

NYU Sydney staff receives security alerts from iJET Intelligent Risk Systems and

New South Wales Emergency Services.

Students are advised about emergency contacts and resources in Sydney

at their pre-departure orientation and immediately upon arrival, both at the

academic center and in a separate orientation and safety induction at their

housing location. They are given a full set of local security and emergency

telephone numbers for the police, fire department, ambulance, NYU Sydney,

their residence, and the United States Consulate and Embassy. NYU arranges

health insurance for all students, and they are provided with information about

local health care and medical centers that accept direct payment from the

insurance company. Students also receive a handbook that contains safety

information. Representatives from the NSW Police Force are invited each

semester to address the cohort.

3 2015 NYU Sydney Annual Security and Safety Report

Students are urged to report any incident by calling the local emergency

(“duty”) line, which is answered by the NYU Sydney Student Services Program

Manager, Associate Director, or Director. If not immediately answered by an

NYU Sydney staff member, the call is answered by Public Safety in New York.

In the event of life- or limb-threatening incidents, students are instructed to call

Australian emergency services first (000). Students may report incidents on a

voluntary, confidential basis. Designated staff members complete confidential

incident reports following events they have moderated.

If an emergency, criminal act, or other event necessitates communication

with the student population, notification is achieved via e-mail to all students.

Student meetings are also arranged as needed to discuss different topics

requiring immediate attention. All incidents reported to NYU Sydney staff are

documented in the Advocate database and are forwarded to the NYU Public

Safety Department in New York, where the appropriate incidents will be

reflected in the annual security report for the site.

NYU Sydney also encourages students to make full use of the NYU Traveler

online system so that their travel schedules can be checked against any

potential issues at destination countries and through which they can receive up

to date travel advisories.

Security and Access in NYU Sydney Housing

Students enrolled at NYU Sydney all live in a single building dedicated to

housing for international and Australian students currently enrolled in tertiary

education courses of study. NYU contracts for use of the building and all of its

services with a third-party company.

Staff posted at the entry to the residence survey access to the building.

Building staff issue keycards for tenant access, and visitors may be admitted

by reception staff. An intercom system announces the arrival of guests, and

tenants must go to the lobby for a guest to enter the building. Guests can be

admitted through the building by front desk personnel during the hours the desk

is staffed. There are 12 surveillance cameras throughout the residence. Video

streams to the back office and to the Duty Manager’s computer.

Residence staff is responsible for maintenance of the building. Any repairs are

scheduled by staff in advance. Students have the option to report issues to the

Student Services Program Manager at NYU Sydney or directly to the residence

staff via an online form.

Security and Access at the Academic Center

The operating hours for the Academic Center are from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Tenants and students gain access to the building with keycard “fobs”. Guests

must sign in with the security officer and are required to stay with their hosts

for the duration of their visits. Tenants in the floors of the building above the

NYU Sydney levels also possess keycards and can open the front door remotely

to admit guests. Non-NYU tenants and their guests predominantly use the

elevators to access their floors, but may alternatively use a common central

staircase. Spaces on each NYU level are secured by additional NYU-only keycard

readers.

Security cameras are placed throughout the building. The video camera feed

is saved remotely and retained for 70 days. This buffered video can be accessed

by NYU Sydney staff. There are emergency call buttons in both elevators.

4 2015 NYU Sydney Annual Security and Safety Report

NYU Sydney staff members are designated as fire wardens for the NYU levels

in the building. They have been trained by TrimEvac, a consulting company

commissioned by property manager Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority

(SHFA). The secondary means of egress are labeled with illuminated exit signs.

Cleaning and maintenance are outsourced to an external company, which

works in several SHFA-owned sites.

Policies

The New York University SexualMisconduct,RelationshipViolence,andStalking

PolicyandProtocols, PoliciesonSubstanceAbuseandAlcoholicBeverages, and

the Non-DiscriminationandAnti-HarassmentPolicyandComplaintProcedures,

outlined in the main NYU Campus Security and Fire Safety report, are applicable

to all Global Academic Centers. During orientation, these policies and site-

specific security policies and programs are discussed.

Prevention and Awareness

Students are encouraged to remain vigilant and be responsible for their personal

safety. Students seeking to report or obtain assistance regarding an incident

are advised to contact the appropriate site administrator(s) as indicated in this

report.

All incoming students are required to complete a Wellnessorientation online

component that addresses issues of alcohol and drug use, safety in the city,

mental health services, and sexual misconduct before arriving at NYU Sydney,

followed by a one hour face to face orientation when they get to the program.

Sexual misconduct, relationship Violence, and Stalking Prevention and Awareness

Starting in the Fall 2014 semester, all students enrolled at each of NYU’s Global

Academic Centers completed an interactive, online module that provided

education related to sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence,

domestic violence, and stalking. Students were advised about where to go

to receive free and confidential assistance and where to go to make a formal

report to the University if they experience this type of violence. The module

also addressed the importance of obtaining consent for sexual activity, and

bystander intervention. After completing the online component of the module,

students participated in active debriefing seminar with local Student Life and

Wellness staff during which they could learn more and ask clarifying questions,

particularly around issues of obtaining consent for sexual activity.

TheThinkAboutItonline educational program, which is now mandatory

for all students, helps ensure that students understand their rights and

responsibilities in the important area of sexual misconduct. NYU rolled out a

mandatory online educational program on March 10, 2015 for the entire NYU

student body of 50,000 students attending any of the three NYU campuses

(New York, Abu Dhabi and Shanghai) or Global Academic Centers. This online

course examines the interconnected issues of healthy relationships, substance

abuse, and sexual violence, among other topics, through a variety of scenarios

and guided self-reflection.
