Iona Reinstates Heightened Security Measures
To all members of the Iona Community :
The Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Homeland Security
Council, has made the decision to raise the national threat level from an "elevated" to "high" risk
of terrorist attack: level orange. The Intelligence Community believes that terrorists
may attempt multiple attacks against the U.S.and coalition targets worldwide
in the event of a U.S led military campaign against Iraq.
As a result, Iona College will re-institute the heightened security measures
developed to respond to a Homeland Security Advisory Level Orange or Red. One
of these provisions involves limiting access to the campus by securing the Montgomery
Gate. This gate will be closed from 5:00 pm until 7:00 amduring normal class
schedules and will be locked during Spring recess, March 18 - 21, 2003. This
gate will be opened for vehicles to exit at the end of evening classes. Additionally,
every vehicle entering campus must display a parking permit. If you need to obtain
a parking permit, please contact Campus Safety and Security at (914) 633-2245.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation during these difficult times.
