Dear campus community member,

Last month, we informed you that this year’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report had been made available. We would like to inform you that we have since made revisions to that report. It remains available online at http://police.illinois.edu/clery.

Following the original publication of the report, the Office for Access and Equity changed a procedure regarding the adjudication of violations for employee discrimination and harassment violations (page 93 of the report). Previously, any appeals made through this process were heard by a senior associate chancellor. Appeals are now being heard by a three-person appeals panel. The report has been updated to include this information, and federal law requires us to notify you of this revision.

This change was made effective Oct. 1 as part of an ongoing review of our campus’ procedures to adjudicate complaints of discrimination and harassment. It is anticipated that more changes will be made to those processes in the months to come, and you will be notified each time a revision is made to the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.

In addition to the revised information, the report includes statistics from the previous three years concerning reported crime that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or on property owned or controlled by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The report also includes statistics for fires in on-campus student housing and institutional policies concerning campus security and other safety information.

A hard copy of the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report may be obtained by visiting the U. of I. Public Safety Building at 1110 W. Springfield Ave., Urbana, IL 61801, or contacting 217-333-1216.

In addition to reviewing this report, there are other important steps you can take to enhance your own safety on campus.

• Review sexual violence and misconduct resources available to the campus community at wecare.illinois.edu.
• Sign up for Illini-Alert text messages by visiting emergency.illinois.edu.
• Review campus safety measures at police.illinois.edu/safety.
• Take a minute to prepare for emergencies at police.illinois.edu/safe.

We hope you continue to find this report a helpful and informative resource to promote your own awareness of public safety issues on our campus.

Sincerely,

Craig A. Stone
Executive Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police
