The Equity and Title IX Policies prohibit acts of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, including, but not limited to, sexual assault or harassment, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. Such acts undermine Berklee’s community values and are strictly prohibited. These policies and the institution’s commitment to fostering a safe, supportive, and diverse climate are a fundamental part of a Berklee community where all can study, live, and work together in an environment of equal opportunity, inclusiveness, and mutual respect.

All community members are encouraged to contact the Equity Office to report any instances of potential violations of the Equity and Title IX Policies and receive additional information, options, and supportive measures.

The Public Safety Department is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure learning environment at Berklee. Its main responsibility is the protection of, and assistance to, the Berklee community.

Since public safety is the responsibility of everyone, students’ cooperation with the department will help make Berklee a more secure environment. With this in mind, students are required to report any thefts, accidents, threats to persons or property, and suspicious persons. Students’ willingness to do their part by being proactive and cooperating with all investigations will ensure the safest possible environment.

Students are expected to observe all reasonable precautions to assure the safety of themselves and their possessions. All students are responsible for the protection of their property, whether it be in the college’s facilities or in the community.

Berklee complies with the U.S. Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, which requires the publishing of information with respect to campus crime statistics and campus security policies.
