PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT This university report complies with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. An electronic version of this report can be located on our website at https://northern.edu/student-life/campus-safety. This report is prepared in cooperation with the Dean of Students Office, the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, local law enforcement agencies, and campus security authorities. A campus security authority is recognized, under federal policy, as an individual responsible for appropriately communicating potential Clery incidents. At Northern, individuals with responsibility for campus security who are not directly affiliated with the Campus Safety include officials with significant knowledge and/or oversight of student events and activities, and campus life. These include but are not limited to officials in Student Services, such as housing, programming, and conduct. When acting in a pastoral or professional counselor capacity, the official may not be considered a campus security authority. Campus crime, arrest, and referral statistics include those reported to Campus Safety, designated campus officials, and other local law enforcement agencies. Annual notification is made via email to all enrolled students, faculty, and staff. It provides the website address from which to access this report. A paper or electronic copy may be obtained at Office of Student Affairs, located in the Student Center, Suite 222, or by request at 605-6263007 or by contacting the Dean of Students at sean.blackburn@northern.edu.
