Emergency Alert System

provider. This system allows college officials to send news, alerts, and instructions
simultaneously to the ASUN community using landline phones, text messaging, e-mail

to notify individuals through multiple points of contact.
All students are automatically enrolled in the emergency notification system upon
enrolling for courses. Students may request to be taken out of the emergency notification
system by requesting to be taken out of the notification list through ASUN’s I.T.

Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act of 1990
On November 8, 1990, President Bush signed the “Student Right to Know and Campus Security
Act of 1990″. The Act applies to every institution of higher education that receives
federal financial aid. Title II of the Act was known as the “Campus Crime Awareness
and Campus Security Act of 1990″. It requires institutions of higher education to
distribute to all current students and employees, and applicants for enrollment or
employment, two types of information: (1) Descriptions of policies related to campus
security, and (2) Statistics concerning specific types of crimes. Amendments enacted
in 1998 renamed Title II, which is now known as the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act”. The amendments require the disclosure
of crimes that are reported to police and campus officials other than police, along
with a breakdown of locations of criminal activity to be specified as on-campus, non-campus,
residence hall or public property.

Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act
The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (section 1601) and {(42 U.S.C. 14071j and 20
U.S.C., 1092 (f) (1) (l)} is a federal law enacted on October 29, 2000, which provides
for the tracking of convicted sex offenders enrolled at or employed by institutions
of higher education. This federal law requires sex offenders who are required by law
to register in a state, to also provide notice of each institution of higher education
in that State where the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student.
This law further requires that institutions of higher education issue a statement
advising the campus community of the availability of this information.
Laura's Law
Law enforcement agencies responding to crime incidents are required by Arkansas’s
Victim’s Bill of Rights outlined in the Arkansas Victim Rights Act of 1997 and Laura’s
Card Act 873 to inform victims in writing of their victim’s rights. Officers must
inform victims of the availability of services: medical, housing, counseling, financial,
social, legal, and emergency services. In addition, officers MUST inform victims about
how to obtain orders of protection, how to access public records related to the case,
and about the Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations Board (including the address and
phone number).
The ASU-Newport Campus Police maintains a
copy of Laura's Card online
