Bethany students should identify the safety procedures that apply to the seminary's Richmond facilities and to any shared spaces they use. Emergency contacts, building access, incident reporting, and responses to sexual misconduct are more practical planning points than an unsupported general claim that a campus is "safe" or "unsafe."
Students should obtain the applicable emergency and reporting instructions during orientation and determine which office handles an incident in a shared facility. Those who want to compare reported incidents should consult the applicable annual security report, paying attention to its reporting years, covered locations, and definitions. Reported crime figures do not capture every aspect of personal safety.
