Analysis
Reading the policy
SUNY Broome (Binghamton/Dickinson, NY) publishes Timely Warnings policy in its 2025 Clery Report. When a situation arises on or off campus that, in the judgment of the Chief of Public Safety, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus-wide timely warning is issued through SUNY Broome's RAVE system to students, faculty, staff, and other guests who have signed up. For circumstances posing immediate threat, the Office of Public Safety may also post on the campus-wide electronic bulletin board at sunybroome.edu for more immediate notification, accessible via computer to all faculty, staff, and students.
Student registration information is uploaded to RAVE; orientation, student activities day, and parents' day remind students to keep contact numbers current. RAVE is also used for temporary schedule changes (holidays, power outages, inclement weather) along with radio/TV, switchboard, website, social media, campus email, and entrance postings. Complements SUNY community-college coverage with HVCC and Schenectady.
