University must determine whether

community.
9


Emergency notification is used for those
situations that pose an immediate threat to
the health or safety of students or employees
on campus or for the closing of an entire
campus (i.e., severe weather, chemical spills,
fires, and crimes).
Messages about criminal activity will be sent
using these systems only if there is an
imminent threat of danger.
10

Crime Alerts will be issued for all
crimes covered by the Clery Act that
are reported to campus security
authorities or local police agencies
and considered by the University to
represent a threat to students and
employees.
11

Resident Assistants and Professional
Residence Life Staff have additional
responsibilities, under Title IX, to
report sexual assaults to MUPD.
12


Miami University will preserve student
confidentiality to the extent possible
and allowed by law.
The degree to which confidentiality can
be promised, however, depends upon
whether or not the person to whom the
sexual assault is reported is legally
required to report.
13


Resident Assistants and Professional Residence
Life Staff, are required to report sexual assaults
to MUPD who, in turn, will report it to the Dean
of Students, the University’s Deputy Title IX
Coordinator for Student Sexual Assault.
The person (RA or FYA) being consulted by the
victim should make these limits clear before
any disclosure of facts.

dealing with information that is both within
your personal knowledge and recorded in
some other format, however, as it will not
always be clear which you are relying on.)

take one of three forms –
