Dear
Aquatic Club and Lesson participants:
In
the current climate I thought it was best to forward this e-mail to you all.
If you do not already have a visitors parking permit, you may obtain one at
the guard booth as you enter the North Avenue Gate.
Where
there is no specific threat, the Campus Safety Director feels these measures
are prudent.
Regards,
Nick
Cavataro

Subject: Heightened Security Measures - Montgomery Gate
Importance: High
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 p.m.
until 7:00 a.m.during 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.
