The following information is required to be reported to the
U.S.Department of Education as part of
The Jeanne Clery Act (Campus Crime Act). Colleges and universities must submit campus crimes from three categories. These are Criminal Offenses, Hate Crimes, and Arrests. Each category lists crimes according to those occurring on-campus, on-campus in residence halls, in non-campus buildings and on public property.

Negligent Manslaughter, Forcible and Non-Forcible Sex Offenses, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Arson
and Negligent Manslaughter. The second category, hate crimes,
includes the following offenses under Department of Education
reporting guidelines: Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Aggravated Assault, Forcible Sex Offenses,
Non-forcible sex offenses (incest and statutory rape only), Arson, Negligent Manslaughter,
Burglary, Robbery, Motor Vehicle Theft and any other crime involving bodily harm.
Hate crimes are incidents that involve evidence of prejudice based
on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic origin or
disability. The third reporting category, arrests, consists of both physical arrests and on-campus
disciplinary actions/judicial referrals for Liquor Law Violations, Drug Abuse

These

annual basis during the mid August to mid October collection period
based on the previous calendar year. The new statistics are then
made available in October by the
