Clery Act Compliance

Senior Leader: Chancellor

Responsible University Officer: Chief of University Police

Policy Owner: Chief of University Police

Policy Contact: Clery Coordinator

REASON FOR POLICY

This policy sets forth procedures intended to ensure UW-Platteville’s ongoing compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act’s crime and fire reporting and disclosure obligations.

SCOPE

This policy applies to all University personnel who have responsibility for an aspect of campus security, and offices and individuals with "significant responsibility for student and campus activities." Individuals responsible for student and campus activities and others who, because of their role at the University, may be classified as Campus Security Authorities ("CSA") under the Clery Act have specific crime reporting obligations under the law.

BACKGROUND

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 U.S.C.A. §1092(f) and implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. §668.41 and 668.46) ("Clery Act") requires colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance to gather and make public information about certain crimes occurring on or near their campuses and to publish policy statements concerning campus safety and security. This policy outlines the institutional responsibilities and procedures for complying with the Clery Act. UW-Platteville will comply with all requirements of the Clery Act.

DEFINITIONS

Annual Security Report & Annual Fire Safety Report (ASFR): An annual report by the University, the ASFR informs the University community about important procedures, policies, and crime prevention programs, including crime statistics for the previous three years for reported Clery crimes that occurred on campus property, non-campus property, or public property of the University (see definitions below). The ASFR is available online and can be printed out, or a printed copy may be obtained in person from the University Police Department.

Campus Property: Any building or property owned or controlled by UW-Platteville within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used in direct support of, or in a manner related to, UW-Platteville’s educational purposes.

Campus Housing: A residence hall, apartment, or other residential facility that is owned or controlled by UW-Platteville and maintained as a residential facility for students, that is located on campus or within the contiguous main campus area.

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs): Individuals at the University who fall under one of the following categories:

All members of the UW-Platteville Police Department (UWPPD).
Any individual who is responsible for campus security in some capacity, but who is not a member of a UW Police Department. This includes parking facility attendants and persons monitoring access to UW-Platteville events.
Any individual or office at UW-Platteville identified in a University policy as an individual or office to which crimes should be reported.
University officials and others who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities.

(Please see the section Campus Security Authorities (CSA) located later in the document.)

Clery Act: The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses and to provide other safety and crime information to members of the campus community. Amended in 2013 with the passage of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA 2013), including provisions of the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (Campus SaVE Act), the Clery Act now requires reporting of crime statistics for dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. The Clery Act is codified at 20 U.S. Code § 1092(f) and its implementing regulations are found in 34 C.F.R. §§ 668.41(e) and 668.46.

Clery Crimes: The University must compile statistics of reports made to University Police, CSA’s and local law enforcement of the following types of crimes that occur on Clery Act defined “on campus property” “non-campus property” and “public property”

Murder and Non-negligent manslaughter
Manslaughter by negligence
Rape
Fondling
Incest
Statutory Rape
Robbery
Aggravated Assault
Burglary
Arson
Motor Vehicle theft
Dating & Domestic Violence, and Stalking
Arrest and/or disciplinary referrals for Liquor-law violations, Drug-law Violations, & Weapons-law violations
Hate Crimes (defined below)

For more information and definitions of Clery Act Crimes, please refer to the U.S. Department of Education's "The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting".

Daily Crime Log: A log maintained by the UW-Platteville Police Department of all alleged criminal incidents that are reported to University Police. Incidents are recorded in the daily crime log with the date and time the alleged crime is reported, the date and time the alleged crime occurred, the nature of the alleged crime and its general location. The daily crime log can be viewed at the University Police Department, located in Brigham Hall suite 135 on the main UW-Platteville Campus.

Daily Fire Log: A log maintained by the UW-Platteville Police Department of all reported fires occurring in campus housing, with the following information: date the incident was reported; time and date of the incident; nature of the fire, and general location. The daily fire log can be viewed at the UW-Platteville Police Department, located in Brigham Hall suite 135 on the main UW-Platteville Campus. It should be noted that the main campus combines their Daily Crime Log with the Daily Fire Log. For each branch Campus (Richland & Baraboo Sauk County) a separate fire log is completed and there is no crime log since those branch campuses do not have a University Police Department.

Emergency Notification: an announcement to inform the campus community about a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on the campus. An emergency notification is different from a timely warning (see below for how campus is notified for an emergency notification or timely warning), as it includes both Clery crimes and other types of emergencies (e.g., fire, infectious disease outbreak, terrorist attack, natural disaster, weather emergency). Notifications are sent using email, text messages, and other means described below.

Hate Crimes: The Clery Act requires the following Hate Crime offenses to be reported under a separate heading in the institution’s ASFR. and be sent to the Department of Education if they are motivated in whole or in part by the offender’s bias toward a person’s race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, or disability; and occur on Clery Act defined “on campus property” “non-campus property” and “public property”

The University must compile statistics of reports made to University Police, CSA’s and local law enforcement of the following types of hate crimes that occur on Clery Act defined “on campus property” “non-campus property” and “public property”

Murder and Non-negligent manslaughter
Manslaughter by negligence
Rape
Fondling
Incest
Statutory Rape
Robbery
Aggravated Assault
Burglary
Arson
Motor Vehicle Theft
Hate Crimes

Larceny/Theft
Simple Assault
Intimidation
Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property

Missing Student Notification - If a student who resides in on-campus student housing is determined to have been missing for 24 hours, the University has 24 hours following the receipt of a report of a missing student to initiate specified notification procedures to notify the student's designated contact, parent or legal guardian, and the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction. The University is not precluded from initiating Missing Student Notification procedures if the student has been missing less than 24 hours or as soon it determines the student is missing.

Non-Campus Property: Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution. Also, any building or property owned or controlled by the University that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, and is frequently used by students, but is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution. Non-campus property may be located anywhere in the world.

On Campus Property: Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution's educational purposes, including residence halls; and any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to that described in the first part of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).

Pastoral Counselor: An individual recognized by a religious order or denomination who provides confidential counseling and is functioning within the scope of that recognition. Pastoral counselors, when acting within this capacity, are not Campus Security Authorities.

PROCEDURES

A. ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY

This policy can be found here: https:kb.uwplatt.edu/adminservices/93981

B. CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITIES (CSA)

1. CSAs are defined under the Clery Act as individuals at UW-Platteville who, because of their function for the University, have an obligation to notify the UW-Platteville Police Department of alleged Clery Act crimes that are reported to them in good faith, or alleged Clery Act crimes that they may personally witness. CSAs are defined by their University function, not by job title.

2. The Clery Act defines four categories of CSAs:

i. Campus police or security department. All members of the UW-Platteville Police Department are CSAs.

ii. Any individual who is responsible for campus security in some capacity, but who is not a member of a UW Police Department.

iii. Any individual or office at UW-Platteville identified in a University policy as an individual or office to which crimes should be reported.

iv. University officials and others who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities.

3. The role of a CSA is to record any information of alleged Clery Act crimes that are reported to them or that they may personally witness and promptly submit that information through the online reporting form on the Clery website. A CSA may also provide information to a victim of an alleged crime about resources available to the victim.

4. A CSA is not responsible for investigating the allegation and/or attempting to determine whether a crime took place—that is the function of law enforcement. A CSA should not try to apprehend an alleged perpetrator of the crime. That, too, is the responsibility of law enforcement. It is also not a CSA’s responsibility to try and convince a victim to contact law enforcement if the victim chooses not to do so. A CSA’s charge is to transmit information about alleged crimes to the UW-Platteville Police Department.

5. CSAs are required to complete Campus Security Authority training during the first year they serve as CSAs and every consecutive year they remain serving as a CSA. The training is coordinated by Human Resources and the Clery Compliance Coordinator and can be taken via an online module.

6. UW-Platteville specifically designates the following as CSAs:

All members of the University Police Dept.

UW-Platteville Chancellor

Title IX & deputy Title IX Coordinators

Director of Counseling Services

Director of Health Services

Sexual Violence Victim's Advocate

Athletic Director

Assistant Athletic Director

Markee Pioneer Student Center Building Managers

Dean of Students Office Staff

Residence Life Central Staff

Resident Directors

Senior Assistants

Resident Assistants

Summer conference Assistants

Greek Life Staff

Coaches, and Intramural Staff

Campus Activities Staff

Study Abroad & Onsite trip Coordinator

Faculty & Staff Advisors to Student Organizations

Short Term Faculty Lead Courses (off-campus)

Youth Program Directors

Youth Program Designated Individuals

7. Identifying CSAs will be coordinated by the University Clery Compliance Committee (described below). Because personnel and job duties change, someone who is a CSA one year may not be a CSA the following year, and vice versa. Identifying CSAs requires knowledge of the functions performed by employees in each department. Therefore, all committee members shall assist in identifying persons within their areas who may be characterized as a CSA for purposes of the Clery Act.

B. CONFIDENTIAL RESOURCES

1. Any University employee and/or office that is legally required to maintain confidentiality of information received by a victim shall be exempt from the CSA reporting requirements. This includes but is not limited to the University Counseling Services Office and Student Health Services (this includes any individual contractor or agency that provides mental health counseling services to the University or its branch campuses). When these employees or contractor are acting in their official capacity as a counselor and/or health practitioner, they are also exempt from the CSA requirements.

2. Disclosures made to licensed medical professionals, professional mental health counselors, licensed therapists, social workers and/or psychologists, and pastoral counselors, are privileged and confidential and are exempt from the CSA reporting requirements.

C. CRIME LOG

1. The following shall provide guidelines for providing pertinent crime information to the campus community:

i. The University Police Department shall maintain a Crime Log of all crimes reported that occur on Clery-designated geography and within UW-Platteville Police Department’s official jurisdiction. Said crimes shall be entered into the Crime Log within two business days of initial report, or as soon as practicably possible. The Crime Log is a printed document, located within the University Police Department, and is available upon request.

ii. The Crime Log shall include all reports that were received and/or occurred within the last 60 days. Each entry in the log must contain the nature, date, time and general location of each crime, date reported, and disposition of the complaint, if known. If a change in disposition occurs within 60 days of the initial entry, the updated disposition shall be entered in the log.

iii. The 60-day crime log shall contain the following information regarding fires on campus:

1. The date the fire was reported;

2. The nature, date and time of the fire; and

3. The general location of the fire

iv. Branch campuses (Baraboo Sauk County & Richland)

1. Since these campuses do not have a University Police Department nor security on the premises, a crime log is not recorded, but a fire log for each campus will follow the same procedure as above.

D. DISTRIBUTION OF THE ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT & ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY REPORT

1.On or before October 1 of each year, the University will publish the ASFR to the campus community and the public on the University’s official designated webpage and make paper copies available upon request. This will be done by:

i. Posting the ASFR online and sending individual notification to each student and employee announcing the availability of the report, briefly describing the information contained and the exact URL address where the complete ASFR is posted. The UW-Platteville Police Department is responsible for posting the ASFR on the UW-Platteville Police Department’s website.

ii. Provide the ASFR to prospective UW-Platteville students and employees upon request. Online and written materials for prospective students and employees should include the exact URL address where the ASFR for the applicable campus is posted and a statement that UW-Platteville will provide a paper copy of the report upon request.

2. An online report form is used to collect statistical information for inclusion in the Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report and for Title IX related incidents. Though most often used by Campus Security Authorities, anyone may report a crime through this publicly available form. For possible follow-up and record keeping purposes, the form requires the name of the submitter. The reporting form is found online at: https://go.uwplatt.edu/campus-crime-report

3. The report must include sufficient information as to the location and type of incident for inclusion in the ASFR. If the crime did not occur on Clery Act designated geography, or it cannot be determined from the report whether the incident(s) occurred on Clery Act designated geography, it will not be included in the ASFR, as per federal regulations.

4. For more information on Clery Act geography, please visit the Department of Education’s website at http://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/campus.html.

5. The UW-Platteville Police Department, the Title IX Coordinator and/or the Dean of Students Office review all submissions made through the report form. Please see the chapter in this ASFR entitled Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking for more information regarding resources on and off campus where help can be received confidentially.

UW- Platteville offers many programs designed to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices. A common theme of all awareness and crime prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own safety and for the safety of others on campus. Crime prevention programs on personal safety and security are sponsored by various campus organizations throughout the year. The programs include general crime prevention and security awareness programs, such as safety education forums, programs, and discussions about topics such as alcohol abuse, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, self-defense, fire safety, emergency response and evacuation procedures, sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, risk reduction, and theft prevention.
