2024 IUSM Annual Report

Compliance

In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Police and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), and the safety and fire-related requirements of the Higher Education Opportunity Act, Indiana University Public Safety produces an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. This report includes policy statements and specific information regarding the university’s procedures, practices, and programs concerning safety, security, and fire safety (e.g., policies for responding to emergency situations and sexual offenses). This report also includes three years’ worth of crime statistics for specific crimes that occurred on campus; in certain non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the School of Medicine; and on public property on or immediately adjacent to each School of Medicine campus. In addition, included are three years’ worth of fire statistics for each IU campus with on-campus student housing. 

Indiana University School of Medicine's (IUSM) multi-campus footprint extends across the state of Indiana in nine locations: Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Muncie, Northwest-Gary, South Bend, Terre Haute and West Lafayette. This report will reflect the unique Annual Security & Fire Safety Report information for each campus. For Clery Act reporting purposes, the IU School of Medicine-Indianapolis campus is located on the Indiana University Indianapolis campus. Therefore, the IU School of Medicine-Indianapolis campus is subject to IU Indianapolis (IU Indy) policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes. The IUSM located in Muncie, South Bend, Terre Haute, and West Lafayette are located on local university campuses and are considered separate campuses from the larger IU Indy campus for Clery Act reporting. 

The IUSM-Bloomington and IUSM-Gary campuses are located at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) and Indiana University-Northwest (IUN), these locations are separate campuses from the larger IU Indy campus for Clery Act reporting. IUSM students completing coursework on these campuses may be subject to both IU Indianapolis and the respective separate campuses' (IUB or IUN) policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes depending on the nature and/or location of the incident. IUSM students at these locations have full campus privileges, including the option to use all facilities IU students have access to and other resources located at the respective campus. At IUB, IUSM students also have the option to reside in on-campus housing. The IUSM facilities, located at the IUB and IUN campuses, are subject to the safety and security policies and procedures of the respective campus. The safety and security policy statements relevant for IUSM students taking courses at IUB or IUN are the same as the respective campus and are described in this Annual Security & Fire Safety Report. IUSM-Evansville facilities are located in downtown Evansville, and are subject to IU safety and security policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes depending on the nature and/or location of the incident.   

 The IU facilities located on the IU Fort Wayne campus were restructured on July 1, 2018, and the campus is called IU Fort Wayne and Purdue Fort Wayne, with IU offering programs in Nursing, Medical Imagining and Medicine, Dentistry, Health Sciences and Social Work. IU students have full campus privileges, including the option to reside in on-campus housing and other resources on the IU-Fort Wayne and Purdue-Fort Wayne campus. IU employees working at the IU-Fort Wayne and Purdue-Fort Wayne campus may also be subject to both IU and Purdue policies, procedures and disciplinary action depending on the nature and/or location of an incident. There are no IU police or security personnel on site. To provide IU-Fort Wayne students and employees with information relevant to space controlled by IU and space controlled by Purdue, as well as other relevant safety and security policies, available resources, programs and information, IU is providing Annual Security Report safety and security policies of both IU and Purdue-Fort Wayne. Although the information sections for IU Fort Wayne indicate programming run out of the IU Indy campus, it is important to note that the IU Indy Title IX office works closely with the Purdue Fort Wayne Title IX office to provide support and services on the IU Fort Wayne campus. 

 IUSM facilities located at local universities, serve as host campuses for the IUSM, and are located in Muncie at Ball State University (BSU); in South Bend at University of Notre Dame (ND); in Terre Haute at Indiana State University (ISU); and West Lafayette at Purdue University (PU). IUSM students, completing coursework at one of the host campuses, are considered “Guest Students” of those universities and may be subject to both IU Indy and the host universities’ policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes depending on the nature and/or location of the incident. “Guest Students” of BSU, ISU, and PU have full campus privileges, including the use of on-campus housing facilities. “Guest Students” of ND have full campus privileges, excluding the use of on-campus housing facilities and counseling services. IU employees working at the host university locations may also be subject to both IU Indy and the host university’s policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes depending on the nature and/or location of the incident.
