The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act is a consumer protection law that keeps campus community members, parents/guardians, and prospective students and employees informed about safety policies, procedures, crime statistics, and prevention education. The Clery Act fosters a safe campus by promoting transparency, ensuring the public disclosure of crime reports, issuing notifications to the community, and encouraging crime prevention and victim support. By emphasizing prevention education, it empowers students and staff to make informed decisions, encouraging schools to take action, reduce crime, and strengthen campus security.
Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR)
Notice of Availability
Ithaca College publishes a joint report for the Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report. The combined report is titled the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
The ASFSR is where all points of Clery Act compliance intersect: policy statement disclosure, crime and fire statistics disclosure, and prevention education programming. The report is made available to all community members by October 1st of each year via email and published on Ithaca College's Intercom system. You may obtain a hard copy of this report via phone or by walking into the Office of Public Safety located in the Public Safety and General Services building on Farm Pond Road.
The report contains over 130 policies and procedures related to campus safety, including but not limited to, how to report emergencies, information on timely warning and emergency notifications, emergency procedures, sexual misconduct procedures, security and access to buildings, information on alcohol and illicit drug use, and fire safety education.
Additionally, the report includes statistics from the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings and/or property owned or controlled by Ithaca College, and public property immediately adjacent to the campus. Statistics for fires reported in residential housing are recorded in a separate chart in the fire safety section of this report.
