UI police release annual Clery report

The University of Iowa police released the annual Clery Campus Crime and Safety Report on Thursday, detailing sex offenses, alcohol-related arrests, and burglaries, among other items.

The report is prepared each year in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act.

According to the report, UI officials saw 10 forcible sex offenses on the university’s main campus in 2011. Ninety-six liquor-law and 117 drug violations on campus resulted in arrests. There were also 20 burglaries and two motor-vehicle thefts reported on campus last year.

University officials gather data from the UI Department of Public Safety, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Development, the Office of the Sexual Misconduct Response Coordinator, the Athletics Department, and UIHC Safety and Security to produce the report that includes campus crime data from the past year.

The Clery Act requires higher-education institutions to file reports on sexual misconduct and violence. The legislation was enacted in 1987.
