2024 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 2 To fully comply with the law, KU publishes and makes available to current and prospective students and employees this Annual Security Report (ASR) containing safety and security-related policy statements and crime statistics by October 1st of each year. The report provides crime statistics for the past three years, details campus and community policies about safety and security measures, describes campus crime prevention programs, and lists procedures to be followed to investigate and prosecute alleged sex offenses. Collect, classify and count crime reports and crime statistics. All campus crime reports are collected, classified and counted. Three years of crime statistics detailing crimes are reported in the ASR. The crimes are categorized according to the location where the crime occurred: on-campus, on-campus in university residential facilities, in public areas on or near campus, and in certain non-campus buildings, such as remote classrooms. KU also reports liquor and drug law violations and illegal weapons possession if they result in a disciplinary referral or arrest. Kutztown University also compiles and discloses statistics for incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in compliance with the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA). VAWA amended the Clery Act to require institutions to disclose these statistics and to include specific policies, procedures and programs about these incidents in this Annual Security Report. Compliance with these provisions does not violate section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g), commonly known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Publish an annual security report. This report, containing safety and security-related policy statements and crime statistics, is available to all current students and employees. A Notice of Availability is emailed to every student and employee immediately upon publication. Prospective employees and students are notified of the availability through application processes. Maintain a daily crime log of alleged criminal incidents. The Department of Public Safety and Police Services also maintains a detailed, 60-day public crime log of all alleged crimes reported. Crime logs are kept for seven years and logs older than 60 days are available within two business days upon request of the Chief of Police. Issue campus alerts. To provide members of the campus community with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their health and safety, Kutztown University will notify members through the issuance of: • Timely Warnings: when any reported Clery Act crime represents an ongoing threat to the safety of students or employees, a timely warning is issued. • Emergency Notifications: when there is confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to part or all the campus community occurring on the campus, an emergency notification is issued. Publish an annual fire safety report. In addition to crimes, Kutztown University discloses fire safety information related to all on-campus student housing facilities while maintaining a fire log open to public inspection.
