What Information should I collect?

Let's Break this Down

• Clery requires crime STATISTICS from MSU about certain crimes committed by ANY individual within our Clery GEOGRAPHY! The crime does not have to be committed by a student, faculty or staff member.

• Clery GEOGRAPHY includes off-site locations if a team stays there for more than one night OR places - hotels- teams stay at EVERY YEAR.

• You are a mandatory reporter for ALL Title IX violations involving students and University employees no matter where or when it occurs, but only some Title IX violations and crimes are counted for Clery. Confused yet?

• Conduct Code violations that occur on athletic trips may or may not be be Clery countable, but SHOULD be reported to the Dean of Students and your Athletic Director.
