Personal
Injury on Campus
Anyone who might have an accident, or witness an accident
while on campus should complete an Accident Report form (See Appendix A). This form will
be used to keep a record of all accidents for insurance purposes or filed with Workers
Compensation on College employees who might have a work-related accident.
For work-related accidents, the completed form should be
signed by the supervisor and the employee and then forwarded to the Business Office. It is
important that all information is accurately completed. (back

Reporting of
College/Campus Thefts and/or Break-ins
Whenever criminal activity occurs in College facilities,
whether on campus or off, such events are to be reported to one of the Deans or the
President immediately. They will determine whether to involve the local police and what
steps should be taken to minimize further threat to the affected area. In addition, a
written report is to be prepared giving all known details, identifying witnesses, damage,
thefts, and any other information which would be helpful in an investigation. Dollar
values need to be identified for any materials stolen. This report should be submitted
within 24 hours of the discovery of the criminal event and directed to the appropriate
Dean, the President and the Director of Business Services. College faculty and staff are
encouraged to keep their keys under personal control at all times. Everyone should remain
security conscious at all times. (back to top)
After
Hours Assistance
During working hours (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight, Monday
through Friday) radio-units will be carried by maintenance personnel so that normal and
emergency telephone inquiries can be answered expeditiously. The emergency number assigned
to these radios is 227-9294.
During non-working hours (12:00 midnight to 8:00 a.m.),
Monday through Friday) please call cellular phone (316) 338-3958 or pager 227-1410. (back to top)
Emergency
Closing of the College
The President or his or her designee shall have the
authority to discontinue instructional sessions because of extreme weather or other
emergency conditions for the length of time the emergency exists. He shall make provisions
to publicly announce such closing via available mass media communications. Refer to
Board Policy 305.
The President's Office will announce over the local radio
and television stations as early as possible, in cases of inclement weather, if classes
are not to be held that day. These announcements will be repeated regularly thereafter
until after the time for the starting of classes. These announcements will be telephoned
to local radio and television stations by the President, or his designee. In case it is
found necessary to close after classes have already begun an announcement of dismissal
will be made on the local radio and television stations and repeated at intervals as long
as the school and the stations think necessary. Board Policy 428 (back to top)
Emergency
Procedures
It is impossible to predict and plan for all types of
emergencies. To the extent possible, it is important for people to remain calm and think
clearly. In general, during cases of emergency, students and staff should dial 911
to report the emergency and to get emergency personnel on the way to the college if
necessary. Once assured that help is on the way and given instructions to hang up,
students and staff should contact campus security by dialing extension 466.
