Crime Statistics
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 requires educational institutions to keep and to report statistics of certain crimes occurring on campus which are reported to campus authorities during the most current year. These statistics are available in the Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention in the Harvin Student Center on the East Campus, or in the Chief of Security's Office in the White Library on the East Campus.
