• Religion: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons who share the same religious beliefs regarding the origin and purpose of the universe and the existence or nonexistence of a supreme being (e.g., Catholics, Jews, Protestants, atheists).
• Sexual orientation: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on their sexual attraction toward, and responsiveness to, members of their own sex or members of the opposite sex (e.g., gays, lesbians, heterosexuals).

The last category of crime statistics that must be disclosed is the number of arrests and the number of persons referred for disciplinary action for the following law violations: (1) Weapons: Carrying, Possessing, Etc.; (2) Drug Abuse Violations; and (3) Liquor Law Violations.

1. Weapons: Carrying, Possessing, Etc., is defined as the violation of laws or ordinances prohibiting the manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation, possession, concealment, or use of firearms, cutting instruments, explosives, incendiary devices or other deadly weapons. This classification encompasses weapons offenses that are regulatory in nature.

3. Liquor Law Violations are defined as the violation of state or local laws or ordinances prohibiting the manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation, possession or use of alcoholic beverages, not including driving under the influence and drunkenness.

Subject to the University鈥檚 obligations under the Clery Act, SWAG视频 will immediately notify the campus community, through our Office of Campus Security, upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring in our Clery Geography (On Campus, Public Property and Non-Campus property). Emergency Notifications will be distributed as soon as pertinent information is available, in a manner that withholds the names of victims as confidential, and with the goal of aiding in the prevention of similar occurrences.

Individuals on campus should notify the Office of Campus Security of crimes as soon as possible.

The Office of Campus Security will gather all pertinent information about the nature of the crime from the reporting person and other available sources (these may include, but are not limited to: other witnesses, the University video camera system, the University card access system, and the local Police Department).

1. Based on the information available, the Director of Campus Security or his designee shall determine whether the crime presents a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. Emergency Notifications are typically issued for the following Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR)/National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) crime classifications:
   • Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter
   • Aggravated Assault (cases involving assaults among known parties, such as two roommates fighting which results in an aggravated injury, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if the individual is believed to be an ongoing threat to the larger SWAG视频 community)
   • Robbery involving force or violence (cases including pickpocketing and purse snatching will typically not result in the issuance of a Crime Alert, but will be assessed on a case-by-case basis)
   • Sexual Assault (considered on a case-by-case basis depending on the facts of the case, when and where the incident occurred, when it was reported, and the amount information known by the Director of Campus Security, or designee). In cases involving sexual assault, they are often reported long after the incident occurred, thus there is no longer the opportunity to distribute an Emergency Notification as a 鈥渢imely鈥� warning notice to the community. All cases of sexual assault, including stranger and non-stranger/acquaintance cases, will be assessed for potential issuance of an Emergency Notification.
   • Major incidents of Arson
   • Emergency Notifications may be issued for other Clery crimes as determined necessary by the Director of Campus Security, or his designee in his absence. Notices for other crime classifications and locations, even though not required by the law, may be issued as Public Safety Advisories.
   • SWAG视频 is not required to issue an Emergency Notification for crimes reported to pastoral and professional counselors because these reports may be made confidentially, however pastoral and professional counselors are encouraged to refer persons they are counseling to report crimes to Campus Security on a voluntary, confidential basis for the purpose of allowing an Emergency Notification to be distributed.
2. Based on the information available, the Director of Campus Security or his designee shall determine the content of the Emergency Notifications, the method by which to disseminate the warning to the campus community, and will issue/initiate the distribution of the Emergency Notification.
3. Emergency Notifications will typically be issued to current students and employees via email to all SWAG视频 assigned email accounts. Emergency Notifications may also be issued using some or all of the following methods of communication: text messages, phone calls, and the main University website. The content of the Emergency Notification may include but is not limited to the nature of the crime, the area where the crime occurred, a description of the suspect(s), and safety tips. It is the responsibility of the Director of Campus Security or his designee to determine whether a crime presents a serious or continuing threat to the campus community and issue a Emergency Notification if necessary.
