What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Fisk University?

Fisk reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transport service, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. These measures describe available resources, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to request an escort, report an incident and receive emergency notifications when they arrive. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its formally reported campus-crime statistics, reporting procedures and emergency-response information. Anyone comparing crime figures across colleges should use the same reporting periods and remember that reported incidents do not capture every safety concern. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should use the university's current reporting and confidential-support information to understand which offices can provide which forms of assistance.
