Introduction The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (“Clery Act”) requires educational institutions to provide all current and prospective students and employees with the security policies and regulations of the University, and the statistics of crime occurrences. These security regulations are designed to ensure the safety of all individuals at Strayer University, and as such, all members of the campus community and visitors are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that respects the rights of all within the community. Observance of Strayer University policies, as well as federal, state, and local laws, is required in order to fulfill the purposes of the educational institution. Although the University strives to ensure a safe environment, each person must take ultimate responsibility for their own safety and that of their personal belongings. II. Campus Security Procedures For additional information on University policies and procedures, consult the Strayer University Student Handbook, available online at http://strayer.smartcatalogiq.com/2020-2021/Student-Handbook, or, if a Strayer University employee, the Employee Handbook available on the University’s employee intranet. Policies and procedures listed are subject to change at any time without prior notice. A. Reporting a Crime or Emergency Any person in immediate danger due to crime or an emergency should contact local police immediately by dialing 911. When the emergency has subsided, the incident should be reported as soon as possible by calling the SEI Emergency Line at 1-877-616-7878. For non-emergency situations, any person who is a victim, witness, or has knowledge of any criminal activity or other emergency on campus should report it immediately by emailing [email protected]. Person(s) reporting possible crimes will be asked to complete an incident report and/or a witness statement, including the date, time, place, nature of the incident, names of witnesses, if any, and any other pertinent facts, which may be distributed to other appropriate University officials as the situation warrants. All reports will be investigated. The University does not have procedures for voluntary, confidential reporting of crimes, unless otherwise required by state law. Violations of the law will be referred to law enforcement agencies and when appropriate, to the Office of Student Affairs or Human Resources, as appropriate, for review. When a potentially dangerous threat to the University community arises, timely reports or warnings will be issued through e- mail announcements, the posting of flyers at local campuses, in-class announcements, or other appropriate means. Strayer also has an emergency alert system, StrayerALERT, to provide important information to Strayer’s students, staff, and faculty about emergency situations at a campus or corporate office. StrayerALERT will use email and text messaging to send short notifications to students, faculty, and staff whose email addresses as well as mobile devices have been registered to receive these messages. Upon enrolling at Strayer University, students are automatically registered with the StrayerALERT system. Please login to the StrayerALERT system by going to https://www.getrave.com/login/strayer to make changes to your 1 notification profile. For more information regarding Strayer emergency management plan as well as the StrayerALERT system, go to https://icampus.strayer.edu. B. Campus Leadership Contact Information (Current as of December 15, 2020. Subject to change. For the most current list, see the Strayer University website at www.strayer.edu.)

  • CRA Working Paper 2014-02: a Profile of Higher Educational
    A Profile of Higher Education Institutions 02 in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area - By Joanna Biernacka-Lievestro Graduate Research Assistant George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis Working Paper No. 2014 May 2014 A Profile of Higher Education Institutions in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area Working Paper 2014-02 by Joanna Biernacka-Lievestro Graduate Research Assistant Introduction The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is one of the leading hubs for higher education in the United States. A 2012 study by the Martin Property Institute,1 which analyzed the Census Bureau’s 2010 American Community Survey data, places metropolitan Washington, D.C. as the fourth largest college town in the United States, following only New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. The Washington, D.C. region surpassed other metropolitan areas with high concentrations of college students, such as Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, San Francisco and Atlanta. This research shows that there are at least 93 institutions of higher education operating in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. This report presents data on these institutions’ enrollment and employment by type and location. Due to reporting limitations, data were only available for 78 of these institutions. As of the Fall 2012 semester, the 78 analyzed universities and colleges enrolled approximately 338,000 graduate and undergraduate students and employed about 70,600 faculty and staff. It must be emphasized that the numbers of students and employees are underestimated due to missing data for the 15 schools and because it is expected that the list of public and private universities and colleges compiled for this research is not exhaustive.2 1 Florida Richard.

  • 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Strategic Education, Inc
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT Strategic Education, Inc. Letter to Shareholders 2019 Dear Fellow Shareholders, Strategic Education, Inc. (or SEI) was formed by the merger of Strayer Education, Inc. and Capella Education Company, on August 1, 2018. In this letter, I will review our strong academic, operational, and financial results in 2019 (our first full year of operation), as well as discuss our plans for 2020. In addition, I have included as an appendix to this letter both an excerpt from Strayer University’s 1912 student catalog, as well as an excerpt from my first letter to shareholders, written in 2001. These two excerpts have been reprinted in each of our annual reports since 2001, and shareholders who are new to SEI may wish to read them prior to reading this letter, as I believe they provide helpful background on both our culture and operating model. 2019 Results I will describe SEI’s 2019 performance in this letter assuming our founding merger had taken place on January 1, 2018 (vs. August 1), so shareholders will see a full year over year comparison of our constituent businesses. While less impressive than the actual results presented in the 10K accompanying this annual report, I believe this “pro-forma” comparison provides a clearer picture of what is actually going on in our enterprise, and is frankly impressive enough. SEI’s two main operating assets are Strayer University (founded in 1892) and Capella University (founded in 1993). Both Universities hold regional accreditation, the most prestigious academic accreditation a university in the United States may hold. Both Universities provide undergraduate and graduate degrees to working adult students.

  • Building a Strong, Independent DC Community College
    Building a Strong, Independent DC Community College By JBL Associates Commissioned by Greater Washington Research at Brookings and DC Appleseed November 2009 Letter to the Readers: In 2008, our organizations each published papers calling for the District to increase its community college capacity. At that time, Washington, DC was the only major American city without a full-service community college. We concluded that DC needed a community college to prepare residents for good jobs and further college education, build its middle class, and grow its tax base. Accordingly, we held a working session in June of that year for higher education leaders, government officials, employers, and other community stakeholders to discuss practical ways for the city to enhance and grow its community college capabilities. At that meeting, DC Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray called for a study to assess the feasibility of the options for starting a community college, as outlined in the Brookings Institution report, Envisioning Opportunity: Three Options for a Community College in Washington, D.C. Following strong endorsement of this suggestion by other government and community leaders, DC Appleseed and Greater Washington Research at Brookings undertook a competitive bidding process and chose JBL Associates to conduct the study. Since then, the University of the District of Columbia has moved forward vigorously to establish a community college—the Community College of the District of Columbia (CCDC), which opened its doors in fall 2009. CCDC is currently in a transition year as its new CEO, Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, develops a vision and strategic plan for the college. The changes at UDC/CCDC are taking place so quickly that we have no doubt that some of the details contained in this report will be out of date by the time it is released.

    Driven to Succeed Public Charter High School 1425 K. Street Suite 350 Washington, DC 20005 Email: [email protected] 1 D.C. Public Charter School Board 3333 14th Street NW Suite 210 Washington, DC 20010 Dear Chairman Brian W. Jones, Director Josephine Baker and the D.C. Public Charter School Board and Staff: It is through our combined dedication and commitment to the youth of the District of Columbia that the Driven to Succeed Public Charter High School planning team is submitting this proposal for the creation of The Driven to Succeed Public Charter High School. The enclosed instructional portfolio features the structures and ideologies we wish to establish in the college-preparatory school serving grades 9-12 with a curriculum focused on leadership, law, policy, servitude, grassroots organizing, and environmental stewardship. Many of today’s youth grow up feeling powerless and disconnected from our country, our culture and our world. The Driven to Succeed Public Charter High School is the result of this teams' experiences engaging scholars in the political process. DSPCHS will make an 8 year commitment to nurture its scholars in developing personal political perspectives which will allow them to connect to government and their civic responsibilities. Our 8 year commitment includes the 4 years of matriculation in high school, and four years of the undergraduate experience. We will foster such development through a comprehensive reflection on both American and global history with the intent of creating an awareness and understanding of how decisions and actions on a local level impact their lives. DSPCHS scholars will be prepared to utilize their historical and political knowledge to deepen their participation in our democracy and our world.
