Building a Campus Security Network 

With a view to guaranteeing the safety of our students and faculty members, we have established a Campus Security & Disaster Prevention Reporting Center and adopted an implementation plan for this center to realize 24-hour monitoring and surveillance. The goal is to ensure immediate reporting and real-time service provision in case of emergencies, traffic accidents, large-scale infections, and other unforeseen incidents. Corresponding units subordinate to the aforementioned center are responsible for the building of the on- and off-campus security network, enhancement of campus hard- and software facilities, and effective improvement of overall campus security.

We compile and organize the reported data on a quarterly basis for the formulation of prevention strategies. Military instructors conduct daily patrols and record relevant findings in campus areas that pose potential safety risks. We have 5 emergency assistance systems and 796 emergency buttons (phone) in place. In addition, we add relevant equipment and implement improvements of existing on-campus facilities on a regular basis. A Campus Security Action Center has been set up to raise the efficiency of event handling. We classify campus security incidents and corresponding command and control operations into the following four levels based on their impact, severity, and follow-up development:

Reinforcement of Student and Faculty Security Education and Literacy

With a view to reinforcing student security education and literacy, we organize disaster-prevention-education activities and evacuation drills. The goal is to familiarize students with relevant response mechanisms and realize the goal of all-out national defense. In the context of all-out defense education courses, we require all students and faculty members to complete earthquake escape, evacuation, and assembly and roll call drills to ensure a clear understanding of required actions and priorities. In addition, we hold campus security e-poster and stand banner design contests to raise the campus security awareness of our students.

Traffic Safety Commission 

With a view to cultivating traffic safety ethics and good traffic habits on the part of our students and faculty members and formulating effective regulations to maintaining traffic order and preserve human lives, we have established a CSU Traffic Safety Committee. The President serves as Committee Chairman, while the Dean of Student Affairs and the Director of the Military Training & Campus Security Center fill the positions of Executive and Deputy Executive Secretary. The committee is composed of the deans and directors of the university and two student representatives. It convenes once per semester to discuss campus traffic safety-related matters.
Traffic safety education is provided via multiple channels such as freshman orientation, weekly CSU meetings, and weekly departmental meetings. Experts and scholars are enlisted to impart traffic safety knowledge. We further organize traffic safety experience activities in the context of life education to make students pay more attention to scooter safety. In addition, we have set up “Traffic Safety Service” student clubs to train self-governance squad members who are capable of providing assistance in traffic control and maintenance of traffic order. In academic year 2021, we organized a total of 23 traffic safety education activities, 7 diversified education activities, and 6 traffic safety command, guidance, and training activities. Over 4,500 students and faculty members participated in these activities and satisfaction levels exceeded 85%.

Campus Cafeteria Hygiene Audit 

In academic year 2022, we received food hygiene guidance provided by the Ministry of Education (two businesses were audited). Based on the guidance results, we had reinforced hygiene management for our cafeteria operations and relevant personnel and stepped up our efforts in the field of food additive and cleaning agent management to safeguard the rights of our students, faculty and staff members in the field of food hygiene and safety. The table below shows the improvements adopted.

COVID-19 Protection Mechanism

Cheng Shiu University Communicable Disease Control Regulations had been stipulated in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the safety and health of our students and faculty members. During the pandemic, the Campus Security Center formulated SOP for personnel on duty and epidemic control. We provided 24-Hour assistance in epidemic prevention and management tasks, which included setting up of a COVID-19 counseling hotline, regular phone calls to show concern for positive cases and close contacts, guidance records for COVID positive students, and daily statistical surveys in line with the required reporting format of the Ministry of Education with the ultimate goal of creating a mutual support system and safe and healthy campus environment with an equal emphasis on containing the risk of COVID transmission. In addition, the Campus Security Center also assisted in the setting up of temperature screening stations, equipment installation, discouragement of violations, and problem solving. Relevant efforts to maintain campus security included the organization of large-scale activities, support for disinfection, temperature measurement, and crisis management. Even though the epidemic was stabilizing, we persisted in our efforts to place large sign boards and informative posters in every entrance and exit area. We had set up temperature screening stations that allowed students and faculty members to measure their temperature autonomously, organize large-scale meetings to provide health education, and instruct student cafeteria personnel to implement daily temperature measurement and health status records.
