I. CAMPUS CRIME AND SECURITY
This portion of the Annual Information Report on Campus Crime and Security provides information about UMUC’s security policies and crime statistics for UMUC’s campuses (where UMUC either owns or controls the property). Stateside includes the Inn and Conference Center and the Student and Faculty Services Center in Adelphi, Maryland, as well as noncampus buildings at University Centre, Prince George’s Metro Center, and Annapolis Center. In addition, this Report provides information about the overseas divisions – UMUC-Europe headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany and UMUC-Asia headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
A. SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICIES
The University System of Maryland (USM) and UMUC recognize two levels of sexual assault: Sexual Assault I and Sexual Assault II. The USM Sexual Assault Policy defines Sexual Assault I as: “By stranger or acquaintance, rape, forcible sodomy, or forcible sexual penetration, however slight, of another person's anal or genital opening with any object. These acts must be committed either by force, threat, intimidation or through the use of the victim's mental or physical helplessness of which the accused was aware or should have been aware.” The USM Sexual Assault Policy defines Sexual Assault II as: “By stranger or acquaintance, the touch of an unwilling person's intimate parts (defined as genitalia, groin, breast, or buttocks, or clothing covering them) or forcing an unwilling person to touch another's intimate parts. These acts must be committed either by force, threat, intimidation or through the use of the victim's mental or physical helplessness of which the accused was aware or should have been aware.”
Victims are encouraged to report any sexual assault, rape or any other sexual offense or unwanted contact to the Vice President of Human Resources in the Office of Human Resources, the University Registrar, UMUC Security, University of Maryland College Park (“UMCP”) Campus Police, or local authorities. Victims who are located overseas are encouraged to contact the Director of Human Resources/Personnel or Director of Student Services for their division or the appropriate offices/agencies on military bases.
In addition, victims are urged to contact law enforcement or medical personnel as soon as possible following the occurrence to receive guidance in the preservation of evidence needed for proof of criminal assaults and the apprehension and prosecution of assailants. Campus authorities will assist in notification of off-campus authorities at the request of the alleged victim. Campus personnel retain the right to contact law enforcement personnel directly where an issue of campus security is involved. Campus personnel will also assist the victim in obtaining medical attention, if the victim chooses, including providing transportation to the hospital or other emergency medical facility equipped with the Maryland State Police sexual assault evidence collection kit if the alleged assault occurs stateside.
After a sexual assault has been reported and upon the request of the alleged victim, the victim will be offered an alternative academic or employment situation, if such alternative is available, feasible, and appropriate to the facts of the sexual assault reported.
The Office of Human Resources has staff members available to provide additional information about sexual assault and to provide programs and procedures about how to handle reports of alleged sexual assault. All procedures are provided to alleged victims so as to ensure timely, accurate and sensitive assistance to all concerned. There are many off campus resources and services available stateside for victims of sexual assault. Contact student services or human resources for additional information.
Students, faculty and staff found to have committed sexual assault may be subject to campus disciplinary proceedings. Students would be subject to proceedings under the Student Code of Conduct. The penalties for students include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: expulsion, suspension, disciplinary probation, disciplinary reprimand, and restitution. Further, any allegation of sexual assault must be reported according to federal reporting mandates and Maryland State law. Faculty and staff would be subject to appropriate faculty and employee disciplinary procedures. The range of employment penalties for faculty and employees include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: counseling, reprimand, suspension, or termination of the faculty appointment or employment.
The University System of Maryland Sexual Assault Policy is located here.
The Sex Offender Registry for the State of Maryland is maintained by the Sex Offender Registry Unit of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. Information on how to obtain a copy of the Registry is found here. You can link to the Sex Offender Registries for other states here.
B. COLLECTION OF CRIME STATISTICS
Crime statistics are collected from campus security personnel, individuals responsible for monitoring entrances into institutional property, and other officials who have significant responsibility for student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings, as well as applicable local police.
The statistics are collected for four types of properties: (a) on campus, (b) in dormitories or other residential facilities for students on campus, (c) in or on a noncampus building or property, or (d) on public property. “Campus” is defined as “(1) Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution’s educational purposes, including residence halls; and (2) Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in paragraph (1) of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).” “Noncampus building or property” is defined as “(1) Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or (2) Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.” See 34 CFR § 668.46
Reports of the following crimes are included in the statistics: murder and negligent manslaughter, non-negligent manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and nonforcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In addition, the University must report any such incidents which manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability. Further, the Report must include any arrests for liquor law violations, drug-abuse violations, and weapons possessions. These crimes are defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook.
The Security Policies and Crime Statistics for UMUC are organized by Stateside, UMUC-Europe, and UMUC-Asia. You may view the entire section or link to one or more of the specific sites by clicking on the applicable location.
C. STATESIDE SECURITY POLICIES & CRIME STATISTICS
1. UNIVERSITY SECURITY POLICIES:
In case of an emergency or to report a crime at the Inn and Conference Center (ICC) or the Student and Faculty Services Center (SFSC), located in Adelphi, Maryland, please call Security (extension 7371 or 911 from a campus telephone). Security will call the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) campus police, the manager on duty, and other law enforcement authorities as necessary. In addition, you may activate an emergency telephone in the garage or elevators that will connect you to Security.
At the Annapolis Center, anyone reporting an emergency or crime should contact local police by dialing 911 and then contact the UMUC on-site coordinator or regional director. At University Centre or Prince George’s Metro Center, anyone reporting an emergency or crime should contact local police by dialing 911 and then the facilities manager. The Director of Loss Prevention is responsible for receiving incident reports for the Adelphi premises, as are the Regional Directors for the University’s regional centers.
The Security personnel at the ICC and SFSC do not have law enforcement authority. The ICC and SFSC rely on UMCP campus police for law enforcement. UMCP’s police department is empowered by State law to make arrests, investigate crimes, and carry firearms. All other sites rely on local police for law enforcement.
The ICC and SFSC are locked at 11 p.m. or when all evening activities conclude. Elevators and stairwells leading to the ICC east wing on the third floor and the third and fourth floors of the SFSC are locked off after 7 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. At those times, the doors leading to the second-floor lobby of the SFSC will be accessible.
University classes may be held at other locations throughout Maryland and the greater Washington metropolitan area, on premises not owned or controlled by the University. Many of these locations are on U.S. military installations and therefore subject to applicable military rules and regulations. You should check with the security offices at those sites or military installations for additional information.
The University does not have a policy that allows victims or witnesses to make confidential reports for inclusion in this Annual Report. However, if an individual is interested in making a report, he or she should contact the Office of Legal Affairs (ext. 7080) or Security (ext. 7371) and every effort will be made to ensure that the individual’s identity remains confidential.
The University does not recognize any off-campus student organizations.
The University does not regularly provide programs to inform students or employees about crime prevention or about campus security procedures and practices. The University encourages students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others. The head of Security periodically visits staff meetings to discuss general security and safety. Seminars on security and/or crime prevention are scheduled in response to requests and on an as-needed basis. In addition, Security periodically distributes information sheets designed to educate students and/or staff about crime prevention.
2. REPORTED CRIME STATISTICS:
The following charts provide the available statistics for specific crimes reported to a campus security authority and/or local law enforcement, as applicable, for the calendar years 2003, 2004, and 2005. UMUC is required to report the crimes: (1) on campus, (2) in dormitories or other residential facilities for students on campus, (3) in or on a noncampus building or property, or (4) on public property. Stateside maintains noncampus buildings or properties at:
- Annapolis Center, 190 Admiral Cochrane Drive, Annapolis, Maryland
- University Centre, 4716 Pontiac Street, College Park, Maryland
- Prince George’s Metro Center, 6505 and 6525 Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, Maryland
None of the properties have dormitories or other residential facilities for students. Each chart provides information on whether any of the crimes were hate crimes.
Statistics disclosed herein are dependent on the ability of law enforcement agencies to accurately provide the information requested.
If you would like additional information on any of the reported crimes, please contact the Office of Legal Affairs at 301-985-7080.
