Clery Act

The Incident Reporting Form is designed to provide students, employees, faculty, vendors, visitors, or others with an on-line method to report specific information related to an alleged incident(s) of discrimination, harassment (including sexual misconduct), or retaliation.

You are not required to complete the entire form in order for the complaint to be submitted. The institution will use the information provided to begin an outreach, which may include contacting the complainant, if you provide contact information, and/or any potential witnesses. However, if the report does not contain specific information and the identities of those involved, the institution’s outreach, potential investigation and/or response may be limited.

Please review the institution’s Policy 154 for additional information on the reporting and grievance processes.

Reports

  • 2021 Revised Annual Security & Fire Safety Report (pdf)
    • Note: Utah Tech University identified a typographical error in its 2021 Annual Safety Report (ASR) after its publication. The 2019 total data reported for drug abuse and arrests for on-campus property and on-campus housing facilities were not combined. This typographical error has now been corrected in the 2021 Annual Security Report.

Campus Security Authority (CSA)
Individuals at the University who because of their functional role have an obligation to notify the University department responsible for collecting crime information (e.g., the campus police department) of alleged Clery Crimes that are reported to or witnessed by the CSA. CSAs include campus police employees and other persons who:

• Have responsibility for campus security but who are not employees of a campus police department or campus security department.

• Are specified in the campus ASR as an individual to whom students and employees should report criminal offenses; or

• Have significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings. The policies and procedures required to be listed in the ASR can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations: Title 34, Section 668.46 (b, c, q-k) and US Code Title 20, Section 1092(f)(1) and 1092(f)(8). These policies can also be found in the DOE Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting.  Clery crimes include (but are not limited to):

Homicide
Burglary
Aggravated assault
Robbery
Arson
Motor vehicle theft
Domestic violence
Stalking
Sex offenses
Crimes that appear to be motivated by hate or bias (hate crimes)

CSAs can report online or by calling police dispatch at 435-627-4300.

While some employees are classified as CSAs, University employees have different reporting obligations to the Office of Equity/Title IX, depending on their job titles and duties, in how they are required to respond to disclosures of sexual misconduct.  For clarification, please contact the UT Title IX office at 435-652-7747 or titleIX@utahtech.edu.
