Annual Clery Safety Report (ASR) Notice

Saint Xavier University is committed to assisting members of the SXU community in providing for their own safety and security.

The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disseminate a public annual security report (ASR) to employees and students every October 1. This ASR must include statistics of campus crime for the preceding three calendar years, plus details about efforts taken to improve campus safety.

The annual Clery security report is available on the SXU Public Safety webpage with other safety information. If you would like to receive the ASR in booklet form, you may stop by the Public Safety Department located on campus in Parking Lot 5 (call campus police at 773-298-3541). The website and booklet contain information regarding campus security and personal safety such as crime prevention and reporting, police law enforcement authority, disciplinary procedures, and other related security policies. They also contain information about crime statistics for the three previous years.

Clery Act crime reporting is not strictly limited to events that occur on campus or within campus buildings and residences. Institutions must include statistics for crime that occur in any of these geographic areas:

  • On campus (anywhere).
  • On-campus student housing.
  • Public property within campus bounds.
  • Public property immediately adjacent to the campus.
  • Non-campus buildings and property owned or controlled by the organization that are used for educational purposes and frequently used by students but not a part of the core campus, or those owned or controlled by a student organization officially recognized by the institution.

This information is required by law and is made available by the Saint Xavier Public Safety Department.
