The WMU office has the responsibility of responding to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In addition, President of WMU has a responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does in fact, pose a threat to the school. If so, federal law requires that the institution immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation. In the event of an emergency situation, Campus Officials would notify the proper authorities through 911 giving as much information known at the time while requesting their assistance. In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to members of the school, the WMU has various systems in place for communicating information quickly. Some or all of these methods of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the campus community. These methods of communication include network emails, emergency text messages that can be sent to a phone by Kakao Talk system. The WMU will post updates during a critical incident on the website at www.wmu.edu. Students learn the locations of the emergency exits in the buildings and are provided guidance about the direction when exiting building evacuation during the orientation.   Daily Crime and Fire Log   This log records by the date the crime was reported, any crime or fire that occurred on campus or within the property of the WMU.

The log records the most recent 60-day period and is available at the Office. The office may withhold information from the crime and fire log if the release of such information would jeopardize the safety of an individual or investigation. However, the crime or incident must be disclosed once the adverse effects are no longer likely. Office of WMU prepares the Campus Crime and Fire Log.

Alcohol and Drug Prohibitions

  The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of alcohol or any controlled substance is prohibited on campus property, during field trips, activities or workshops, and in any facility. In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-690), the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-226) and 34 Code of Federal Regulation Part 85, Subpart F, this institution is committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace and a drug-free school. Information concerning drug and alcohol abuse education programs is provided at the orientation and is distributed annually to students and staff. (Institutions are advised to make available to students and staff members information on an agency that provides counseling and help on drug and alcohol abuse education). The individual counseling with Dr. Kyung Hwa Song (the director of Master of Arts in Christian Counseling Psychology) is available upon the student’s request. The following statements on illegal drugs and alcohol are designed to address the WMU’s concern about substance use and abuse, and to ensure WMU’s compliance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act. Substance abuse is harmful to student’s health. The effects of using illegal drugs include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, insomnia, hallucinations, hyperactivity, loss of appetite, convulsions, coma, and possible death. Alcohol consumption can also result in changes in behavior, including impaired judgment and coordination, aggressiveness, depression, and memory loss. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence and damage to vital organs. The WMU will make available its counseling resources to help students involved with substance abuse. Southern California Drug and Alcohol Programs, Inc. (SCADP) 13205 South St, Cerritos, CA 90703 (562) 402-2466   Criminal penalties for the illicit use of controlled substances vary with the type of drug. Penalties may range from fines or suspended sentences and parole, to a minimum of ten years imprisonment for first offenders. Penalties for the manufacture and distribution of drugs, or possession of a large quantity of drugs, are more severe. WMU cannot and will not protect students from arrest or prosecution if they illegally use, possess or sell alcohol or drugs.

Sexual Harassment

It is the policy of World Mission University to maintain the seminary environment as a Christian community that provides a place for spiritual growth, work, and study, free of all forms of sexual intimidation and exploitation. All students, staff, and faculty should be aware that World Mission University is prepared to take action to prevent such intimidation and exploitation and those individuals who engage in such behavior are subject to discipline.   Sexual harassment can vary with particular circumstances, but, generally, it is defined as unwelcome or offensive sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, unwanted or uninvited verbal suggestions or comments of a sexual nature, or objectionable physical contact. None of these reflect a Christian attitude or commitment, and all adversely affect the working or learning environment. Coercive behavior, including suggestions that academic or employment reprisals or rewards will follow the refusal or granting of sexual favors, or conduct that unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work or study performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work/study environment, constitutes a violation of the seminary’s spiritual and/or educational standards, objectives and goals; such misconduct will not be tolerated. Under the direction of the appropriate administrator, the seminary will fully and effectively investigate any such report and will take whatever corrective action is deemed necessary, including disciplining or discharging any individual who is found to have violated this prohibition against harassment. The reporting student, staff, or faculty will be informed of the action taken. Seminary officials will also take action to protect the reporting student, staff, or faculty, to prevent further harassment or retaliation and, as appropriate, to redress any harm done.     It is the policy of World Mission University not to tolerate sexual harassment, and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken whenever such harassment is demonstrated. Individuals engaging in such conduct contrary to seminary policy may be personally liable in any claim brought against them.   A student, staff or employee who feels that he or she has been sexually harassed may meet with a person officially designated to receive reports of discrimination, and they will work for resolution in such situations (Please see the WMU SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY) within the Student Handbook for information.
