| Definitions and Additional Information: Manslaughter and arson have been added as reportable crimes. "-" means the crime statistic for that category was previously not reportable. The Campus Security Act now requires that reportable crimes be broken down into four categories: on campus, non-campus, public property, and student residences. The term "campus" means any buildingor property owned or controlled by an institution of higher education within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institutionand used by the institution in direct supportof, or in a manner related to, the institution's educational purposes, including residence halls; and property within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the instituion that is owned by the institution, but controlled by another person, is used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as food or other retail vendor). | |||||||||||
| The term "non-campus" means any buildingor property owned or controlled by a student organization recognized by the institution; and any building or property (other than a branch campus) owned or controlled by an institution of higher education that is used indirect support of, or in relation to, the institution's educational purposes, is used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution. | |||||||||||
| The term "public property" means all public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. Previously, on campus, non-campus, and student residences were reported as a single crime statistic for a given crime. Crimes that occur off campus property were not previously reportable. In the future, an enumerated crime that occurs on property immediately adjacent to, or within an area up to the far curbing of any street adjacent to campus property is now reported under the "public property" category. | |||||||||||
