Going above and beyond what’s required.

The Clery Act is a federal law that requires universities to collect and report crime statistics and campus safety policies. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign relies on a number of people to not only comply with the act, but also go beyond federal mandates in providing students, faculty and staff with information about public safety issues on campus.

Some university employees have obligations under the Clery Act. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is mandated to:

• Collect, classify, and count crime reports and statistics related to crime.
• Issue timely warnings (Campus Safety Notices) for Clery crimes that represent an ongoing threat to the safety of students or employees, or emergency notifications upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.
• Publish an annual security report containing safety and security-related policy statements and crime statistics and distribute it to all current students and employees. We must also inform prospective students and employees about the availability of the report.
• Submit crime statistics to the U.S. Department of Education each fall via a web-based data collection.
• Maintain a daily crime log of alleged criminal incidents which is open to public inspection.
• Disclose missing student notification procedures that pertain to students residing in on-campus student housing facilities.
• Disclose fire safety information related to on-campus student housing facilities. This includes a fire log that is open to public inspection and publishing an annual fire safety report containing policy statements, as well as fire statistics associated each on-campus housing facility.
