Should the LTU Department of Campus Safety investigate and determine that a residential student is a missing person , the following notification process will be initiated. Contact will be made to the missing person ’s emergency contact, if contact information has been provided, within twenty-four (24) hours of the determination that the student is missing by the Dean of Students or designee. If the student is under the age of 18 and is not an emancipated individual, the Dean of Students will notify the student’s parent or guardian and any other designated missing person contact person within 24 hours.
The Dean of Student's Office and the Department of Campus Safety will have the primary initial investigative authority. For the purposes of this policy, upon report of a missing enrolled residential student, an initial investigation will be instituted and priority will be determined. There is no prescribed "waiting period" prior to consideration of a missing person 's investigation.
More Details on this policy can be found in the Annual Security Report.
