4 2023 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 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 that have occurred 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 certain policies, procedures and programs pertaining to these incidents in this Annual Security Report. Compliance with these provisions does not constitute a violation of 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 made available to all current students and employees. A Notice of Availability is sent to every student and employee immediately upon publication. Prospective employees and students are notified of the availability through the respective application processes. Maintain a daily crime log of alleged criminal incidents. The Department of Public Safety and Police Services 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 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 of 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 that is open to public inspection. The annual Fire Safety Report contains policy statements and fire statistics associated with each on-campus student housing facility. These statistics include the location, number of fires, cause, injuries, deaths and property damage of each fire. This report is published independent of the Annual Safety and Security Report by KU’s Department of Environmental Health and Safety. Both the Annual Security Report and the Fire Safety Report are shared annually with the United States Department of Education and made available to current and prospective students and employees upon publication. The fire safety report and fire statistics are developed by the department of Environmental Health and Safety. Both the report and the statistics are viewable at https://www.kutztown.edu/Departments-Offices/A-F/Facilities/ Documents/KU%20Campus%20Fire%20Safety%202022.pdf.
