Emergency Management is defined as an emergency with institutional concerns where continuity of business may be interrupted. Crisis Management is defined as individual or psychological emergencies. While the specific circumstances of any emergency and the detailed actions required for its mitigation cannot be predicted in advance, we can plan and prepare for a successful and comprehensive management of emergencies.

Our detailed Emergency Management plan is available here.

Data Privacy

Any media inquiries that involve information about specific students should be directed to the Dean of Students. Such inquiries will be handled in strict compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This federal law protects the confidentiality of a student’s education record and some personal information. Information that may be given includes information found in a directory: the student’s full name, campus address and phone number, dates of attendance and degrees, honors and certificates received, etc.

It is vital to direct such request for information to the Dean of Students. As noted above, any information released by the Director of Communications is considered appropriate for distribution and will only be released through official Bard College correspondence. 

FAQs

  • Who should I call if I become aware of an emergency or potential crisis? 

    Who should I call if I become aware of an emergency or potential crisis? 


    Your primary concern is to save lives and prevent injury, so call 911 immediately.
    When any person on campus becomes aware of an obvious emergency (e.g., fire, gas leak, injured person) he/she should:
    1. In serious cases, call 911, stating your name, location, and nature of incident.
    2. Immediately call Campus Security (x7777) and request EMS, if needed. They will immediately ask if 911 have been notified.
