Campus safety asks for cooperation from Carroll Community Director encourages students to utilize opportunities offered on campus to students Craig Maniscalco Staff Writer
Carroll College Campus Safety released this year’s Annual Security Report, and though very little of the security policy has changed, the statistics give beneficial information about the campus. The report, which was released in compliance with the Jean Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, contains a summary of Carroll College policies and statistics regarding campus security and policy violations over the past three years. The statistics include, but are not limited to, criminal offenses, disciplinary actions, and judicial referrals on and off campus under such titles as forcible sex offenses, burglary, drug violations, liquor law violations, and weapons violations. One of the more prevalent statistics shows the “liquor law violations” over the past three years resulting in disciplinary action or judicial referral. The statistical counts for 2001, 2002,
and 2003 were 66, 146, and 233, respectively. However, the on-campus arrests for the same violations in those years were 11, 3, and 2. John Harbeck, director of Campus Safety, said, “It’s definitely a concern that our numbers are increasing.” Harbeck, through his position in Campus Safety, is partially responsible for letting the college know what is going on around campus. There are mixed ideas about Campus Safety around Carroll. Though many students actively support Harbeck and his program, there are those who have had their share of Campus Safety problems.

I had to beg them to call for an ambulance.” “We, like every department that services Carroll, try to do See Campus Safety Page 3

There are many new faces in the front of classrooms this fall. New faculty were hired in a variety of departments across campus including, religion, nursing, music, exercise science, chemistry, English, education and physical therapy to name a few. Provost Dr. Lynn Bernier explained the this year’s turnover rate. She believes the additions are a positive “revitalization” for the college. Also, it is important for students to realize that “there is a lot of this going on at other colleges around the nation right now, so students here at Carroll shouldn’t feel like they are the only ones going through something like this.” There are 97 full-time faculty members on Carroll’s campus. 18 of them, almost twenty percent, are new hires in their fields. These hires were made for a number of reasons and in many cases the reasons were specific to the program area. For instance, three new nursing faculty were added to the staff this year. The
nursing program was to be partnered with Columbia College of Nursing in Milwaukee. In this program nursing majors attending Carroll would attend two years here and then finish their schooling at Columbia. During the 2004-05 school year Carroll took on the entire nursing program themselves, which created a need for more faculty. Physical Therapy and Nursing are two of Carroll’s largest academic majors on campus. With a freshmen class of over 600 and many of them taking these majors, additional faculty became a necessity. In addition to the new professors, two of the eighteen newly hired staff are librarians assisting in aiding the new larger group of students. Many of Carroll’s 2003-04 professors made the decision to retire as well, creating a need to fill their positions. However, Bernier did admit that four of last year’s professors were denied their tenure contracts. She denied any comment on the situations due to legal issues the college is facing.
