Residence Life

Residence Life at St. Bonaventure University keeps people on campus safe by doing regular checks and rounds of the campus. Made up of Safety and Security as well as Residential Assistants and Residential Directors, Residence Life follows many laws and acts that have been put in place to make institutions like this one safe.

On Campus, students have one to two Resident Assistance per floor and one Resident Director per building or group of buildings. These people are there to keep people safe and healthy. On rounds, Resident Assistants will check to make sure doors are not propped open, everyone in bathrooms is responsive, and that fire extinguishers are not dispersed or missing. These are all done in accordance with the Clery Act as all Campus Safety Authorities must do every night. Residence Life is also responsible for handling roommate problems, confiscations, and doing programming for their floor. People involved in Residence Life are mandated reporters and must report anything suspicious they see on campus that could cause people danger or harm. This is all done to ensure the safety of everyone on campus at all times. Schools must report any violent crimes in a crime report yearly that is published publicly in accordance with the Clery Act.
