Compliance
In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety 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 (ASFSR). 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 types of crimes that occurred on campus; in certain non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the university; and on public property on or immediately adjacent to each of Indiana University’s campuses. In addition, included are three years’ worth of fire statistics for each IU campus with on-campus student housing.
The IU facilities located on the IU Fort Wayne campus are subject to IU’s and Purdue University’s safety and security policies, procedures, and disciplinary processes depending on the nature and/or location of the incident. Until July 1, 2018, Indiana University School of Medicine and School of Social Work students completing coursework at the Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) campus were considered “Guest Students” of IPFW. On July 1, 2018, the campus was restructured and is now called IU Fort Wayne and Purdue Fort Wayne, with IU offering programs in nursing, medical imaging, dentistry, 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. In order 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 from both IU and Purdue Fort Wayne. Although the IU Fort Wayne information sections indicate programming run out of the IU Indianapolis campus; it is important to note that the IU Indianapolis Office of Civil Rights Compliance works closely with the Purdue Fort Wayne Office of Civil Rights Compliance office to provide support and services on the IU Fort Wayne campus.
Furthermore, in July 2024, the Indianapolis campus, once deemed Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), separated partnership as one unified campus to create two independent campuses: IU Indianapolis and Purdue Indianapolis. These two universities continue to contract for some services due to shared spaces on campus; however, they are no longer joined as one institution in Indianapolis and operate under independent operating structures. For statistical crime reporting, there are no changes for Indiana University.
In December 2024, the Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA)amended the Clery Act to require hazing reports to be counted as part of Crime Statistics in the ASFSR as well as required a campus hazing transparency report available online. The crime statistics will be available in the 2026 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report; however, this year’s report will include updated policy statements required under the SCHA. For more information on hazing, please see the hazing subsection of this report.
