Campus Safety

DSU Campus Safety and Emergency Management will provide referrals to police and medical assistance as needed. In compliance with Campus Right-to-Know legislation and the Clery Act, those identified as campus safety personnel will report all incidents to campus authorities or local law enforcement. All reportable violations are compiled in a statistical report, which is available in the Campus Safety and Emergency Management Office and included in the Annual Security Report.

THE STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW AND CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990

The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act was passed by Congress on November 9, 1990. This law mandates that institutions that receive Title IV federal funds disclose crime statistics for certain serious offenses that occurred on campus and in adjacent areas for the current and two previous years. It also requires institutions to share information on their campus safety policies and procedures. The information is provided for the purpose of assisting campus community members in reducing their risk of becoming a victim of crime. It is also a measurement on best practices with safety policies, procedures, and programs that are effective.

For additional information beyond what is contained within these pages, please contact Campus Safety and Emergency Management at 701-290-1068. This report can be found at: DSU Campus Safety.
