Campus Safety Information
The University supplies information to you on crime prevention, procedures for reporting crime, resources for victims, and crime statistics to enhance the safety and security of everyone who visits, studies, or works on our campus.
To comply with the federal Jeanne Clery Act and the Drug-Free Schools & Communities Act, as well as with Wisconsin State Statute 36.11(22), we have organized this information in accordance with these specific regulations:
A downloadable copy of all three parts of the report for 2007-08 is available by clicking here. The reports are compiled and updated every October. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to access the document. The Clery Act
Following the 1986 tragic sexual assault and murder of a young woman named Jeanne Clery at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, her parents organized and lobbied to establish standards for crime reporting on all college campuses in the nation. Visit www.campussafety.org and learn more about her and the act created in her name. The result of their effort was the passage of the Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act in 1990. In 1998 the act was amended and renamed The Jeanne Clery Act. Wisconsin Statutes also require the provision of specific information about sexual assault and sexual harassment issues. In passing these laws, the Federal government and the State of Wisconsin have made a commitment to enhance safety by requiring the University to provide specific information to you.
