Clery Act Geography To keep members of the campus community aware and safe, Kutztown must categorize reportable crimes by Clery geography. Therefore, crime statistics are reported and summarized by the location where the crime occurred and according to one of four locations: on-campus, on-campus residential facilities, non-campus and public property. ON-CAMPUS On-Campus geography is defined as 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. This also includes any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the geographic area 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). ON-CAMPUS RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES An On-Campus Residential Facility is defined as any student housing facility that is owned or controlled by the institution or is located on property that is owned or controlled by the institution and is within the reasonably contiguous geographic area that makes up the campus. Housing for students on campus is a subset of the On-Campus category. NONCAMPUS PROPERTY Noncampus Property is defined as any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution. This also includes any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution. PUBLIC PROPERTY Public Property is defined as all public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, which is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
