University Crisis Leadership Team

University Crisis Leadership Team

New Â鶹´«Ã½ City University is committed to providing a safe and secure learning and working environment to over 8,000 students and over 1900 employees. In support of this objective, New Â鶹´«Ã½ City University created the University Crisis Leadership Team (ULCT) in to respond to University emergencies, which may impact our community.

The goals of New Â鶹´«Ã½ City University's UCLT are as follows:

  • To coordinate the University's responses to critical incidents involving students, faculty, and staff while paying special attention to the safety and security needs of the University community.
  • To communicate the University's responses to critical incidents involving students, faculty, and staff.
  • To regularly review and update the University's Emergency Operations Plans.
  • To use critical incidents, when appropriate, as "teachable moments" which may enhance the quality of life for those involved with such incidents.

ULCT is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of University professionals who meet regularly, receive training, and participate in 'table-topic' exercises which help ensure the University's emergency preparedness.

As members of the Â鶹´«Ã½ community, we have a shared responsibility to participate in creating a safe and secure learning environment. In this regard, I urge you to become familiar with safety protocols that may be crucial in the future.

As always, Â鶹´«Ã½'s Department of Public Safety works closely with the Â鶹´«Ã½ City Police Department, as well as, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to ensure our safety. Should you have any questions or concerns, or notice any suspicious behavior/circumstances, please contact the Department of Public Safety Office by calling 201-200-3128 or e-mailing, publicsafety@njcu.edu .

In case of any emergency, updates will be available by telephone at 201-200-2000 and will be posted online at the University's homepage, .
