The Office of Environmental Health and Safety – Fire Safety Unit conforms to the reporting requirements of the Clery Act.  The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or Clery Act is a federal statute codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), with implementing regulations in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 34 C.F.R. 668.46.

The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses. Compliance is monitored by the United States Department of Education, which can impose civil penalties, up to $35,000 per violation, against institutions for each infraction and can suspend institutions from participating in federal student financial aid programs.

In compliance with this, we provide the following information which outlines the fires that have occurred in on-campus student housing facilities and the current fire safety systems in these on-campus student housing facilities.

TRAINING

Training is required for personnel depending on the hazards involved in spaces or by departments. EHS offers a variety of safety training courses to meet the needs of our campus community.
