Reporting Crimes and Other Emergencies
It is critical, that you report all crimes and other emergencies to 911.
Students, faculty, staff, and guests are encouraged to report all emergencies and crimes to 911 and the Safety & Security Department at (701) 221-1700 in a timely manner.
Reporting to other Campus Security Authorities
While UTTC prefers that you report to 911 or the Safety & Security Department at (701) 221-1700, we also recognize that some may prefer to report to other individuals or college offices. The Clery Act recognizes certain College officials and offices as Campus Security Authorities (CSA). These individuals are “officials” of an institution who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities. An official is defined as any person who has the authority and the duty to take action or respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution. CSA’s are required to report all crimes to the UTTC Safety & Security Director as soon as reasonably possible. While UTTC has identified a number of CSA’s, we officially designate the following departments as places where students can report crimes:
- UTTC Safety & Security Department, Building 61, Ft. Berthold Avenue, on campus (701) 221-1700
- Wellness Department, Wellness Center, (701) 221-1764 or (701) 221-1707
- Campus Services (Vice President of Campus Services), Building 69, (701) 221-1708
- Housing Department, on campus, (701) 221-1513
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy & Crime Statistics Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is the landmark federal law, originally known as the Campus Security Act that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. Because the law is tied to participation in federal student financial aid programs it applies to most institutions of higher education both public and private.
It is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education. The Clery Act is named in memory of 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery who was raped and murdered while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986.
Jeanne’s parents, Connie and Howard, discovered that students hadn’t been told about 38 violent crimes on the Lehigh campus in the three years before her murder. They joined with other campus crime victims and persuaded Congress to enact this law, which was originally known as the “Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990.”
The law was amended in 1992 to add a requirement that schools afford the victims of campus sexual assault certain basic rights and was amended again in 1998 to expand the reporting requirements. The 1998 amendments also formally named the law in memory of Jeanne Clery. The law was most recently amended in 2000 to require schools beginning in 2003 to notify the campus community about where public “Megan’s Law” information about registered sex offenders on campus could be obtained.
