Policy for Reporting the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics

OPSS prepares this report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The full text of this report can be located on our web site. This report is prepared in cooperation with the Housing Office, the Dean of Students, and local law enforcement. Each year, an e-mail notification is made to all enrolled students, faculty and staff to provide the web site to access this report.

Confidential Reporting Procedures

If you are the victim of a crime and do not want to pursue action within the university system or the criminal justice system, you may still want to consider making a confidential report. With your permission, the Director of OPSS can file a report on the details of the incident without revealing your identity.

The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the university can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger. Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the annual crimes statistics for the institution.
