STATEMENT ADDRESSING PREPARATION OF
DISCLOSURE OF CRIME STATISTICS
This report is provided annually as information
sharing and provides you with pertinent
information to use throughout the year. It is
also in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime
Statistics Act.
This report is prepared in cooperation with the
local law enforcement agencies surrounding our
main campus and alternate sites, members of
Administrative and Student Life Services and the
Dean of Students office within their documentation. Each entity provides updated information
on their educational efforts and programs to
comply with the Act.
Campus crime, arrest and referral statistics
include those reported to the UW-Stout Police,
designated campus officials and local law enforcement agencies. These statistics will include
crimes in locations that fit into the Clery Geography definitions. These statistics are gathered
through formal police reports and other actions
that have occurred that resulted in referral but
not police action. This report also collects statistics on sexual misconduct reports and other
incidents identified as Clery Crimes.
Each year, an email is made to all enrolled
students, faculty and staff, providing them a
web link to view this report. All prospective
employees are also given the link to view the
report online.

STATEMENT ADDRESSING CAMPUS
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Campus Police Authority and Jurisdiction
UW-Stout Police Department is a vital component of campus security efforts. In accordance
with s. 36.11(2) Wisc. Stats. UW-Stout’s Campus Police are State-certified peace officers who
have completed police authority to apprehend
and arrest anyone involved in illegal activities
on-campus and areas immediately adjacent to
the campus.
It is important to note that your university police officers are focused on the members of the
university community. UW police officers know
the members of this campus. They work closely
in not only enforcement, but engagement and
involvement on a daily basis.
If minor offenses involving university rules and
regulations are committed by a university student, University Police may also refer the individual to the disciplinary division through University
Housing or the Dean of Students Office.
The campus also works closely with the City of
Menomonie, Dunn County Sheriff and Menomonie Police to ensure that areas away from
campus are as safe as possible. In accordance
to the Mutual Aid Agreement, information will
be exchanged to ensure statistics are current
and that off-campus activities involving student
organizations and saturated student housing
areas are monitored and criminal activity is
listed in this report.
Incidents such as homicide or suicide will be
worked in partnership with the appropriate
agency (Menomonie Police, WI Dept. of Justice
DCI and/or FBI).
The prosecution of all criminal offenses, both
felony and misdemeanor, are conducted at the
Circuit Court of Dunn County through the Dunn
County District Attorney’s Office and Clerk of
Courts.
6
STATEMENT ADDRESSING BASIC SECURITY
Security is often a function of a tenacious management of the details
• Maintaining clean, accessible buildings
• Well-lit parking lots (including timely repair
of campus lighting)
• Timely building maintenance (including
removal of graffiti)
• Visible, pro-active police officer presence
The University Police maintains a daily log (known
as the police blotter) listing all crimes reported to
the department. This log includes the nature, date
and general location of each crime and the disposition of the complaint, if known. This log can
be used by members of the community to make
informed decisions regarding personal safety and
security of items.
These details are managed through partnerships
between campus departments.
7
STATEMENT ADDRESSING BUILDING AND FACILITY ACCESS
Statement Addressing Building and Facility Access
General access and use of our facilities is governed by institutional policies and WI Administrative
Codes, all on file in the office of the Chancellor and
available on-line. Some of these procedures include
policies on building access (key and card access),
university identification cards and building operating
hours.
Building card access at UW-Stout provides access
to buildings and select rooms on campus. Card
access to buildings has been implemented to accommodate after hours entrance into buildings as
well as limiting access to high security rooms, and
various labs. To request card access to a building
or area that you have a need due to your job description or academics, contact your supervisor or
advisor.
Academic building entrances and general classrooms are normally open to students, parents, employees, contractors, guests and invitees Monday
through Friday. Classrooms and labs, while being
used for academic purposes are available to faculty,
students registered for the class and those registered as course monitors.
Residents Halls are unlocked during the day and
card access is utilized in the evening hours for residents to gain access to their dorm. Over extended
breaks, the doors of all residence halls will be secured around the clock. Residents of that building
will have card access to enter.
All building opening needs which require the building
to stay open later than scheduled times must be
approved by the building supervisor and received
by the academic custodial department no later
than one day in advance of the need. All weekend
building opening needs must again be approved
by the building supervisor with the request being
received no later than noon on the Thursday prior to
the weekend need.
Emergencies may require changes or alterations to
any posted schedule. Buildings and/or rooms may
be locked/secured by University Police due to an
emergency or police investigation by authority of the
Chief of University Police or her designee.
Areas that are revealed as problematic have security surveys conducted with assistance of the building
supervisor, Physical Plant, University Police and
Safety & Risk Management. Surveys and recommendations may include issues such as landscaping, locks, alarms, lighting and communications.

2015 ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY REPORTSTUDENT RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES
Fire safety and education is an important part of emergency preparedness for residence hall students. The
staff in University Housing and Physical Plant, along with the Director of Risk Management and Safety and
the Menomonie Fire Department, work in collaboration to educate students on fire safety, perform internal
inspections, conduct fire drills, and provide appropriate training. The City of Menomonie Fire Department is
the responding agency to UW-Stout for all fire and medical emergency calls and their main station is located
one block from campus. Due to their close proximity, response time is excellent.
This report is a summary of fire safety systems and fire incident statistics from the time period of January
1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. Note that this data applies to campus residence halls and does not
include academic buildings.
Fire safety education is a top educational priority for University Housing. In addition to information on the
University Housing website and in the Residence Hall Handbook, all students receive a magnet on their
room refrigerator which outlines what to do in the event of a fire. Additionally, emergency procedure posters
on each floor of the residence halls identify how to evacuate in the event of a fire and the outside gathering
location for each building.

Director of University Housing

2015 ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY REPORTSTUDENT RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (CONTINUED)
The Higher Education Opportunity Act, enacted on August 14, 2008, requires institutions that
maintain on-campus student housing facilities to publish an annual fire safety report that contains
information about campus fire safety practices, standards, and all fire-related on campus statistics.
The following public disclosure report details all information required by law as it relates to the
University of Wisconsin-Stout.

RESIDENCE HALL FIRE DRILLS
POLICIES ON PORTABLE ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES, SMOKING, AND OPEN FLAMES
Fire drills are held once a year for each residence
hall. Fire drills are mandatory supervised evacuations of a building for a fire. The fire drill is scheduled through the Safety & Risk Management Office
at the end of September or at the beginning of
October. The fire drill is supervised by the Director of
Safety & Risk Management Services, the Campus
Police, and the Menomonie Fire Department. Persons refusing to leave the residence hall during a
fire drill, or when the fire alarm sounds, will be subject to university disciplinary action and civil action.
(CONTINUED)
POLICIES ON PORTABLE ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES, SMOKING, AND OPEN FLAMES
Electrical Appliances: The following appliances
are not permitted in the residence halls (with the
exception of Red Cedar Hall, the suite-style building
for upper-class students): toasters, electric grills,
toaster ovens, and other cooking appliances with an
open element or those that may cause a ventilation
problem. Some of these types of appliances are
available for check out at the front desk and may be
used in the kitchen areas only. Tampering with any
electrical outlet or light switches is not permitted, including the adding of dimmer switches. In addition,
only UL approved electrical power strips with an
on/off switch, 15 amp circuit breaker and 3 prong
plug-in or extension cords six feet in length or less
with triple ground plug-ins are permitted. No other
multiple plug outlets are allowed.
Smoking: Smoking is not permitted in any residence hall or anywhere on the UW-Stout campus.
UW-Stout became a smoke free campus on September 1, 2010.
Open Flames: The possession and use of fireworks, hazardous materials, gun powder, lighter
fluid, cut Christmas trees or boughs, decorations
of combustible nature (e.g. parachutes, oversized
flags, fishnets, crepe paper), and/or other explosive
materials are not allowed in the residence halls.
Candles (lit or unlit), lanterns, incense, and other
open flames of any type are not permitted in the
residence halls. Motorcycles, motorbikes, mopeds,
or any devices requiring the use of combustible
fuels are not allowed to be ridden or stored in residence halls at any time. Gas grills are not allowed
inside a residence hall.
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENT
HOUSING EVACUATION
In the event of a fire, students should immediately
pull the nearest fire alarm, call 911, and all residents should immediately evacuate the building
and move to a safe distance (at least 150 feet)
from the building. It is the student’s responsibility
to evacuate the building; staff members will not
alert students to vacate the residence hall. Failure
for a student to evacuate the building may result in
a referral to the student conduct system and/or a
citation by University Police. (continued next pg.)
12
2015 ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY REPORTSTUDENT RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (CONTINUED)
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENT
HOUSING EVACUATION (CONTINUED)
When an alarm sounds, follow
these procedures:
• Remain calm
• Feel door knob. If cool, open door slowly.
• Leave lights on.
• Wear a coat or robe and shoes.
• Close windows and raise blinds.
• Close and lock your door.
• Leave through the nearest exit.
• Do not return to your hall until the “all clear” sign is given by university personnel.
If you cannot exit your room safely (door
knob is hot or hallway is filled with smoke):
• Open the window and hang an object out of the window, such as a sheet or clothing to attract attention.
• Call 911 and give your location.
• Place a towel or clothing at the base of your door to keep out smoke
• Keep your face covered to aid in breathing.
Evacuation procedures for students
with disabilities:
• Go to the nearest stairwell landing.
• Wait at the landing. You may have a friend wait with you.
• If the fire is near your location, fire person
nel will arrive to evacuate you.
• If the fire is not near your location, wait for the “all clear” to be given.
FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION AND TRAINING
FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF
The Director of Safety & Risk Management conducts an annual training session on fire safety in
August for all Hall Directors and Resident Hall Assistants. Part of this training also includes hands-on
fire extinguisher training.
REPORTING A FIRE
People who notice fire or smoke should immediately
leave the building, closing any doors behind them
as they go. On the way out, activate the fire alarm
pull station. Move well away from the building.
Then call 911 to complete reporting of the fire or
smoke. Stay on the line to answer any questions
the 911 dispatcher may have.
FUTURE FIRE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
The University of Wisconsin-Stout Department of
University Housing annually reviews the fire systems
in our residence halls and will arrange for upgrades,
repairs or revisions when problems are identified. A
comprehensive Residence Hall Renewal Plan details
several capital projects that include numerous fire
safety upgrades including automatic fire sprinkler
systems, fire alarm upgrades, and other architectural fire safety features.

STOUTALERT!- EMERGENCY RESPONSE & NOTIFICATION
TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY
UW-Stout is utilizing StoutAlert as the campus-wide emergency communications tools. We
have identified a key group of persons on campus to send you an emergency message through
this system. Messages will be received by mass
email, text messaging (if you choose to add your
cell number to the system). The messages will
be engaged when the members of the university
community are in some danger. The message
will give you basic information as how to respond and areas to keep evacuated. When an
emergency notification message is sent, you will
receive at least one update providing you with
directions and follow up, if needed.
Additional Campus Resources
> Emergency Management
> University Housing
> Safety & Risk Management
To update your information within StoutAlert link to:
> www.uwstout.edu/healthandsafety/em/cc.cfm
Once you enter this page, there is a section to
click to log into the StoutAlert system.
All university employees and students are automatically added to the StoutAlert system. You
can enter the system through the link, logging
in with your Stout ID and Password and adding
additional email addresses and up to three cell
phone numbers for text messaging.
The university will only use StoutAlert for the
actual siting of a tornado or funnel that is heading
towards our community. Otherwise, The National
Weather Service provides immediate information
to you for other severe weather warnings. Many
smart phones are already directly connected to
some weather warning system and will provide
you with weather warnings and updates in your
area. We also recommend that you purchase a
weather radio that will provide you with the most
up to date and timely information in your office or
residence hall room.
During severe weather, you are asked to move to
a location in your building without windows. Most
buildings on campus have lower levels, basements. Fire alarms are audible and visual in all
campus buildings. When the alarm sounds, it is
your responsibility to evacuate the building. Become familiar with the buildings that you frequent
and define a shelter location that is accessible to
you.

STATEMENT ADDRESSING THE DUTY OF OUR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS TO ACCURATELY AND PROMPTLY REPORT CRIMES
Community members, students, faculty, staff
and guests are strongly encouraged to report
all crimes and public safety related incidents to
the University Police in an accurate and timely
manner. This publication focuses on University
Police because it patrols the UW-Stout campus,
but stresses the importance of all community
members’ parts in keeping UW-Stout safe.
Although the University Police Office on campus
is not open in the evenings and the weekends,
our phones are answered 24 hours per day by
calling 715-232-2222 ext. #1. Dispatchers have
radio communication with the officers on duty.
In response to a call, they will take appropriate
action, either radioing an officer to respond, providing a phone number for the officer to call or
giving the caller information on follow-up. If you
would like to remain anonymous, that is possible. You can provide your name to dispatch, but
CONTACT CARD
clarify you would like to be recorded as anonymous, or not give your name at all.
If University Police need assistance, they will
request it from other appropriate agencies.
These agencies may include Menomonie Police,
Menomonie Fire & Rescue, Dunn County Human
Services, The Bridge to Hope, and the UW-Stout
Counseling Center.
On campus crimes should be reported to the
University Police Department to ensure inclusion in the annual crime statistics and to aid
in providing timely notices to the community.
NEVER hesitate to call 911 when you need an
immediate response of police, fire or emergency
medical rescue.
The University also utilizes crime statistics as
one level of data to assist in organizing crime
prevention programming, targeted patrol areas
and refined community policing efforts.
(Cut this out and keep it with you.)
If a crime is in progress or you or someone is in need of immediate police
response, fire or medical assistance DO NOT hesitate to Dial 911

HOW TO BE AN ACTIVE BYSTANDER (CONTINUED)
Bystanders play a critical role in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence. They are “individuals who
observe violence or witness the conditions that perpetuate violence. They are not directly involved but have
the choice to intervene, speak up, or do something about it.”5 We want to promote a culture of community
accountability where bystanders are actively engaged in the prevention of violence without causing further
harm. We may not always know what to do even if we want to help.
Below is a list of some ways to be an active bystander. Further information regarding bystander intervention
may be found. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, dial 911.This could be when a person is yelling at or being physically abusive towards another and it is not safe for you to interrupt.
1. Watch out for your friends and fellow students/

a way to get out of a bad situation.
2. Confront people who seclude, hit on, try to make

get help if no one is around.
3. Speak up when someone discusses plans to
take sexual advantage of another person.
4. Believe someone who discloses sexual assault,
3. Walk with purpose. Even if you don’t know
where you are going, act like you do.
4. Trust your instincts. If a situation or location

feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it probably isn’t the
best place to be.
5. Refer people to on or off campus resources
5. Try not to load yourself down with packages or

bags as this can make you appear more vulnerable.
6.
Make sure your cell phone is with you and
charged and that you have cab money.
RISK REDUCTION
With no intent to victim blame and recognizing that
only rapists are responsible for rape, the following
are some strategies to reduce one’s risk of sexual
assault or harassment (taken from Rape, Abuse, &
Incest National Network, www.rainn.org)
7. Don’t allow yourself to be isolated with someone you don’t trust or someone you don’t know.
8. Avoid putting music headphones in both ears
so that you can be more aware of your surroundings, especially if you are walking alone.
16
HOW TO BE AN ACTIVE BYSTANDER (CONTINUED)
9. When you go to a social gathering, go with a
group of friends. Arrive together, check in with each
other throughout the evening, and leave together.
Knowing where you are and who is around you may
help you to find a way out of a bad situation.
10. Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe in any
situation, go with your gut. If you see something suspicious, contact law enforcement immediately (local
authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most
areas of the U.S.).
11. Don’t leave your drink unattended while
talking, dancing, using the restroom, or making a
phone call. If you’ve left your drink alone, just get a
new one.
12.
Don’t accept drinks from people you don’t
know or trust. If you choose to accept a drink, go
with the person to the bar to order it, watch it being
poured, and carry it yourself. At parties, don’t drink
from the punch bowls or other large, common open
containers.
13. Watch out for your friends, and vice versa. If
a friend seems out of it, is way too intoxicated for
the amount of alcohol they’ve had, or is acting out of
character, get him or her to a safe place immediately.
14.
If you suspect you or a friend has been
drugged, contact law enforcement immediately (local
authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most
areas of the U.S.). Be explicit with doctors so they
can give you the correct tests (you will need a urine
test and possibly others).
15.
If you need to get out of an uncomfortable or
scary situation here are some things that you can
try:
a. Remember that being in this situation is not
your fault. You did not do anything wrong, it is
the person who is making you uncomfortable
that is to blame.
b. Be true to yourself. Don’t feel obligated to do
anything you don’t want to do. “I don’t want to”
is always a good enough reason. Do what feels
right to you and what you are comfortable with.
c. Have a code word with your friends or family
so that if you don’t feel comfortable you can call
them and communicate your discomfort without
the person you are with knowing. Your friends or
family can then come to get you or make up an
excuse for you to leave.
d. Lie. If you don’t want to hurt the person’s
feelings it is better to lie and make up a reason
to leave than to stay and be uncomfortable,
scared, or worse. Some excuses you could use
are: needing to take care of a friend or family
member, not feeling well, having somewhere
else that you need to be, etc.
16.
Try to think of an escape route. How would
you try to get out of the room? Where are the doors?
Windows? Are there people around who might be
able to help you? Is there an emergency phone
nearby?
17. If you and/or the other person have been
drinking, you can say that you would rather wait until
you both have your full judgment before doing anything you may regret later.
17
GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING OF
CRIMINAL OFFENSES
NEVER hesitate to dial 911 on your phone to report a crime in progress, if you
are near the emergency phones at the entrance of each residence hall, you just
need to push the button, 911 will be dialed.

Not only do we encourage you to report crimes or suspicious activity, the university police
provides you with alternatives on how to report. In some cases, you may want for authorities to
know about a situation but would like to remain anonymous. We understand this and offer you
options on how to provide us with the facts of the case. We also recognize that there may be
situations in where you chose to report to someone other than law enforcement. The important
aspect is to report the incident for us to be aware and to make knowledgeable decisions on
enforcement patrols and community policing activities.
18
CONFIDENTIAL REPORTING OPTION FOR VICTIMS OF A CRIME
If you are the victim of a crime and do not want
to pursue action within the University system or
the criminal justice system, you may still consider making a confidential report. With your
permission, a UW-Stout officer can file a report
as to the details of the incident without revealing your identity. The purpose of a confidential
report is to comply with your wish to keep the
matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure
the future safety of yourself and others. With
such information, the University can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, faculty, staff and visitors.
A report can be made with the Dean of Students
or University Police by phone or providing the
information on the following links:

The university cannot take disciplinary action
solely on this report. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with your wish to keep
the matter confidential, while taking steps to
assist with the future safety of yourself and others. With such information, the university will
keep more accurate records of the number of
incidents involving students, determine if there
is a pattern of crime with regard to a particular
location, method or assailant and alert the campus community to potential danger when appropriate. Information within these reports will be
assessed to determine if a Crime Notice should
be sent to the campus community.
Reports filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in this annual report within the statistics.
Please note: Due to Title IX federal requirements, reporting procedures applicable to allegations of sexual assault are different and
further discussed later in this document.

STATEMENT ADDRESSING TIMELY CRIME NOTICES
“Crime Notices”
In the event that a situation arises, either on or
off campus, that, in the judgment of the Chief
of University Police, constitutes an ongoing
or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely
crime warning” will be issued. The warning will
be issues when the university police is made
aware of the incident. The warning will always be
issued through the university e-mail system to
students, faculty and staff, and posted on the
UW Stout Police Facebook page and
@StoutCops Twitter account to the entire UW
Stout community. We may also, then, target
certain campus populations with additional messaging if it is appropriate and the Chief feels as
though the notice will be read by more members
of the community.
CONTACT CARD
These timely warnings are not the same as the
campus-wide emergency notification system
called StoutAlert. That information is in a future
statement text box within this report.
Anyone with information that they believe would
warrant a crime warning is encouraged to report
the circumstances to the University Police, either
by phone or in person. Information can also be
shared through the campus anonymous reporting process, as identified in this report.
Please understand that anonymous reports may
not provide enough information for the Chief of
University Police to make an informed decision
on whether or not a timely warning should be
submitted to the university community.
(We’re making it really easy for you to put one of these in your wallet!)

STATEMENT ADDRESSING CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY
COUNSELORS & SERVICES
“Professional Counselor”
An employee of an institution whose official
responsibilities include providing psychological
counseling to members of the institution’s community and who is functioning within the scope
of his or her license or certification.
If you are meeting with a professional counselor
and want to report a crime, you should utilize
the processes listed in this report. If you need
assistant from that counselor, they will most
likely have you sign a release form prior to
talking to others on campus about the situation.
According to professional ethical guidelines
and state law, all counseling records are kept
strictly confidential and are not part of other
university records. Information is only shared
with a person’s written permission, or in the rare
instance when sharing information is required by
law (such as to save a life, to report child abuse
or to comply with a court order). Due to these restrictions, “professional counselors” are exempted from serving as Campus Security Authorities
for mandatory reporting purposes.
That said, professional counselors recognize
the importance of crime reporting and have
developed processes for facilitating anonymous
reporting. If a student reports being a recent
victim of sexual assault to a “professional
counselor” on campus, counselors as a matter
of practice will discuss the procedures to report
crimes and encourage them to report the crime
on a voluntary basis.
Campus “professional counselors”, when acting
as such, are voluntarily cooperating as campus
security authorities so that crimes are reporting for assessment for Campus Crime Notices
and inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime
statistics.

THE 2008 HIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES ACT STATES IN SECTION 488:
MISSING STUDENT NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE & FORM
Requires institutions that have on-campus
student housing to establish and implement a
“missing student notification policy for students
who reside in on-campus housing” that:
• Informs each student about and provides students the option of designating an emergency
contact
• Provides students a means to “register confidential contact information”
• Requires disclosure to students who are under
age 18 that the institution is required to notify parent or guardian if student in deemed missing
• Required disclosure that institution will notify
law enforcement within 24 hours after determining
student is missing
• Requires the institution to implement emergency
notification procedures when students have been
deemed missing
University Housing will notify authorities when residence hall students have been deemed missing.
Those notified include University Police for all individuals and either the parent/guardian for residents
under the age of 18 OR the emergency contact of
students who are over the age of 18. Emergency
contact information will be obtained from the information residents provide to the campus.
Any time a student believes that a resident is a
threat to themselves or others; they should contact
University Police immediately.
If they want to report that a student is missing,
they can either contact the police directly or they
can print a “missing student notification” form on
the Housing website at:
> http://www.uwstout.edu/housing/Policies/upload/missingstudentnotification-2.pdf
Students can complete this form any time they
believe a resident has been missing for an unusual
amount of time. Students completing this form
should submit it to their Resident Advisor or Hall
Director who will then contact University Police and
the Dean of Students office.
Procedure (internally shared with Housing and campus staff)
If Housing staff are approached by a student about
a missing resident, they should talk with the student to help the student determine if they want to
fill out a Missing Student Notification form. Here
are some questions that may be of assistance:
• Do they believe the student is a threat to themselves or others? If so, they should contact University Police immediately.
• Has the resident been missing for a long enough
period of time that you believe they are missing?
• Have you contacted the location/place where they
most recently had been?
• Have you tried to contact them through various
means, e.g. cell phone, text, email, Facebook, etc.?
• Have you contacted other friends or relatives who
may know where they are?
Upon receiving a form from a student, the Housing
staff member should give it to their Hall Director or
the Hall Director on call by 9:00am the next day.
The Hall Director will contact University Police and
the Dean of Students office. University Police and
DOS will determine if a student is “deemed missing” and follow appropriate procedures, including
contacting ether the parent/guardian or the emergency contact.
Only people with first-hand knowledge should fill out
a form; students, Housing staff or others who hear
rumors or second-hand information from others
should not fill out the form.
24
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE A CRIME REPORT IS FILED?
Community members, students, faculty, staff
and guests are strongly encouraged to report
all crimes and public safety-related incidents to
the agencies listed in the section titled “General Procedures for Reporting Crimes” in a timely
manner. Dispatchers are available at the numbers provided for each police agency 24 hours
a day to answer your call. In response, dispatch
will notify the appropriate agency to take the
required action.
All reports that involve threat to self/others or
some enforcement action are forwarded to the
Dean of Students office and appropriate housing
staff member for review and referral within the
campus disciplinary processes. In addition to reports filed with the UW-Stout Police Department,
information and reports are shared by all local
law enforcement agencies including the Menomonie Police Department and the Dunn County
Sheriff’s office with the Dean of Student’s office.
In many cases of criminal activity, the investigating law enforcement agency will process the
case through the criminal justice process within
Dunn County courts and district attorney’s office.
The Dean of Students office can also investigate a crime for processing through the campus
conduct system under Wisconsin Administrative
Code Chapter 18. These investigations will most
likely occur in unison with shared information.
Although information is shared between law enforcement and the Dean of Students office, each
agency/unit will investigate; interview witnesses
and process the case within their own guidelines. Burden of proof and outcomes can vary.

LETTER FROM DEAN OF STUDENTS
August 2015 Dear Students and Families of the Fall 2015 Freshman Class, Highlighting the critical importance of student safety, health, and well-­‐being , Chancellor Meyer has called the campus community to continue and intensify efforts aimed at curbing student alcohol abuse and its negative consequences—and to reinforce a campus culture that supports healthy choices that help students reach their full potential. UW-­‐Stout has implemented a comprehensive plan designed to: 1) reduce high-­‐risk alcohol use, 2) make it more acceptable to abstain from alcohol, 3) support student safety through institutional and cultural intolerance of alcohol abuse, and 4) address student misperceptions about campus drinking behavior. Key initiatives include: • Required online course (CampusClarity: Think About It) for all incoming freshman designed to minimize risks associated with alcohol and drugs. • Broad implementation of evidence based prevention methods that inspire students to reflect on and consider their drinking behaviors. • Continuation of a comprehensive social norms marketing campaign. • Widespread communication of alcohol policies, sanctions, and procedures to the campus community. • Advance notice of possible sanctions for high risk or repeated unhealthy or dangerous behaviors including those that can place student enrollment in jeopardy. • Education of all students on the impact alcohol violations and behaviors have on educational/career choices, study abroad, employment potential and other opportunities. • Parental notification when students engage in serious or repeated violations of alcohol policies or the law. • Collaboration with local agencies and law enforcement to support frequent party patrols with strong sanctions for hosts. • Comprehensive website with information on education, policies, statistics, resources, and programming related to alcohol. The most recent data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) estimates that each year there are 1,800 alcohol-­‐related deaths among college students, 550,000 unintentional injuries, 675,000 assaults, and 95,000 cases of sexual assault and acquaintance rape. Additionally, alcohol is frequently a factor when students encounter academic problems. Despite these negative statistics, our survey data also show—and our social norms campaign highlights the fact—
that the majority of students do not participate in high risk drinking. Yet even students who make healthier choices often encounter problems when their peers drink too much. We are counting on all students, parents, and family members to partner with us as we strive to support an environment where use of alcohol does not prevent students from realizing their highest potential of intellectual, physical and human development. Sincerely, Joan Thomas Dean of Students 27
UW-STOUT ALCOHOL, DRUG, AND CONDUCT VIOLATIONS
The University of Wisconsin-Stout will strive to
create and support an environment where use of
alcohol and drugs does not prevent students from
realizing their highest potential of intellectual, physical, and human development. The University will use
evidence based policies, programs, and services
and will assess progress through measureable
goals and objectives.
According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism, research demonstrates that
collaboration between colleges and their surrounding
communities, including zero tolerance enforcement
of the law, reduces the incidents of high-risk drinking
and negative consequences.
Using a comprehensive management system, UWStout has information on all conduct violations and
concerning behavior for all enrolled students. This
allows University Housing and the Dean of Students
Office to collaboratively track conduct incidents for
each student and to ensure the sanctions imposed
reflect not only the recent behavior but also past
behavior.
Behavior on and off campus which violates UW
System Administrative Code Ch. 17 or 18, and/or
results in citation by city, university, or county law
enforcement officers, will be addressed by university judicial officials when, in the judgment of the
investigating officer, the alleged conduct is any of
the following:
• illegal use, possession, or distribution of
alcoholic beverages or controlled substances
• Serious or repeated violations of
municipal law
• Unauthorized use of or damage to property
• Disruption of University authorized activities
• Dangerous conduct
• Violation of criminal law
• Forgery or falsification
• Violation of University rules
Some examples of these behaviors include:
• Underage consumption of alcohol
• Possessing/using a false ID
• Furnishing alcohol to minors
• Hosting large parties
• Vandalism
• Driving Under the Influence
• Disorderly conduct
• Battery
• Possession of a controlled substance
• Delivery of a controlled substance
The University also has the authority to contact
parents in any situations involving alcohol or controlled substances. University Housing along with the
Dean of Students Office can and will notify parents
on alcohol and/or controlled substance violations
regardless of the nature of the violation.
Depending on the frequency or severity of the
behavior, the University can impose sanctions that
prevent a student from being enrolled at the University and the University of Wisconsin System.
See the Student Rights &
Responsibilities web page at:

STATEMENT ADDRESSING ILLICIT DRUGS
The Unlawful possession, use, distribution, manufacture or dispensing of illicit drugs (controlled
substances) by students, employees or organizations is prohibited on university property or as
part of university activities. The possession, use,
distribution, manufacture or dispensing of illicit drugs is illegal under both State and Federal
laws. Such laws are strictly enforced by UW-Stout
Police, which has specific policies to discourage
the use of illegal drugs. An illicit drug is identified
as a drug, substance or precursor, including but
not limited to opiates, hallucinogenic substances,
depressants and stimulants. Violation of policy
by a student may lead to disciplinary sanction, up
to and including suspension or expulsion. University employees are also subject to sanctions for
violations occurring on university property or the
worksite or during working time, up to and including termination.
Referral for prosecution under criminal law is also
probable for students and employees. In addition, violators could face possible legal sanctions
resulting from civil actions. Costs related to drug
offenses may include fines, loss of driver’s license,
jail terms, and inability to receive federal or state
aid or grants.
UW-STOUT’S ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY
Legal Sanctions: In addition, violators could face possible legal sanctions resulting from civil or criminal
actions. Costs related to AOD offenses may include fines, loss of driver’s license, jail terms and public
embarrassment. AOD offenses may also affect a person’s employability, their ability to enter a licensed
profession or bonding for employment. State and Federal laws governing alcohol and illicit drugs include,
but are not limited to:
• Wisconsin’s Drinking Age Law – states that it is
illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to pur
chase, possess or consume alcohol as well as
enter a premises that sells alcohol.
• Personal Risks – Misuse of alcohol and other
drugs can result in, or make worse, a number of personal, relationship, physical or legal
problems.
• Wisconsin Illicit Drug Laws – prohibits
possession, use and/or delivery.
• Penalties related to AODA – Sec. 483 – Student
Eligibility – In general, students who are convict
ed under any Federal or State possession or
sale of a controlled substance law will not be
eligible to receive loans, grants or work
assistance for a specified period of time.
• Federal Illicit Drug Laws – prohibits possession,
use, distribution, manufacture or dispensing.

STATEMENT ADDRESSING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
PREVENTION & RESPONSE
University of Wisconsin – Stout does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs
and sexual harassment and sexual violence are
types of sex discrimination. Other acts can also
be forms of sex-based discrimination and are also
prohibited whether sexually based or not and include
dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. As
a result, The University of Wisconsin – Stout issues
this statement of policy to inform the community of
our comprehensive plan addressing sexual misconduct, educational programs, and procedures that
address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating
violence, and stalking, whether the incident occurs on or off campus and when it is reported to a
University official. In the context, the University of
Wisconsin – Stout prohibits the offenses of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking
and reaffirms its commitment to maintain a campus
environment emphasizing the dignity and worth of
all members of the university community.
For a complete copy of the University of
Wisconsin – Stout’s policies governing sexual
misconduct, visit
> http://www.uwstout.edu/hr/eoaa/Sexual-Misconduct.cfm
The University educates the student community
about sexual misconduct response and prevention
through student orientation, residence hall trainings
and in class academic programs. The university
police, in partnership with the other campus offices
(e.g., Counseling Center; Health Services, Residence
Life) offers sexual assault education and information
programs to university students and employees upon
request.
If you are a victim of sexual misconduct, on our off
campus, your first priority should be to get to a place
of safety. You should then obtain necessary medical
treatment. The closest treatment facility to UW-
Stout is the Mayo Clinic Health System - Menomonie
Mayo Emergency Room. Through a cooperative
community arrangement, a Sexual Assault Nurse
Examiner (SANE) will be called to assist you through
the process. An advocate from the Bridge to Hope
will be with you the entire time you go through the
S.A.N.E. exam, if you would like. She will offer you
emotional support or whatever you may need to be
comfortable, while the S.A.N.E. nurse will focus only
on the exam. The advocate will then go over services, information on sexually transmitted diseases,
and Crime Victim Compensation. After the exam is
completed, the advocate will then take you wherever
you need to go next, whether that is to speak with
the police, home, or to a friend or family member's
home. The advocate will then follow up with you in a
couple of days to see how you are doing, answer any
questions and see if there are any other services
you may need.
In most cases, the advocate will contact police.
Prior federal grant funding through the Department
of Justice has allowed for all university officers to
attend sexual assault investigation training that
includes utilizing SANE nurses for examinations and
evidence collection and the sexual assault advocate.
Filing a police report with a university officer will not
obligate the victim to prosecute, nor will it subject
the victim to scrutiny or judgmental opinions from
officers.
Filling a police report will:
• Ensure that a victim of sexual assault receives the necessary medical treatment and tests at no expense to the victim.
• Provide the opportunity of collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be obtained
later.
• Assure the victim has access to an advocate for additional access to other campus and community
resources.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT DEFINITIONS
DEFINITIONS
There are numerous terms used in this university in
our policy and procedures. Five terms are defined in
the following section. These definitions are pursuant
to federal guidelines and state statutes. The terms

“dating violence”, and “stalking”.
CONSENT
Consent is defined in Wisconsin Statute 940.225(4) Consent. as used in this section, means words or

and 165.93 (4) (b); to give notice of legal rights and
remedies available to him or her; and to provide him

with the presumption under sub. (2) (am).

section when the officer has reasonable grounds to
believe that a person is committing or has committed
domestic abuse and that person’s acts constitute
the commission of a crime, the officer shall prepare a
written report stating why the person was not arrested. The report shall be sent to the district attorney’s
office, in the county where the acts took place,

inform the arrested person orally and in writing of the
waiver and the provisions of s. 939.621.
3. Failure to comply with the notice requirement under
subd. 1. regarding a person who is lawfully released
from custody bars a prosecution under par. (a), but
does not affect the application of s. 939.621 in any
criminal prosecution.
(c) At any time during the 72-hour period specified in
par. (a), the alleged victim may sign a written waiver
of the requirements in par. (a). The law enforcement

VICTIM SERVICES AND RESOURCES
After an incident of sexual assault and domestic violence, the victim should consider seeking medical
attention as soon as possible at Mayo – Menomonie Urgent Care or Emergency at 2321 Stout Road,
Menomonie, 715-235-5531 or 800-236-9671. In
Wisconsin, evidence may be collected even if you
chose not to make a report to law enforcement. It is
important that a victim of sexual assault not bathe,
douche, smoke, change clothing or clean the bed/
linen/area where they were assaulted if the offense
occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence
may be preserved that may assist in proving that the
alleged criminal offense occurred/or is occurring or
may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims do not opt
for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address
concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted
disease.
and will apply appropriate disciplinary procedures
to those who violate this policy. The procedures
set forth below are intended to afford a prompt
response to charges of sexual assault, domestic or
dating violence, and stalking, to maintain confidentiality and fairness consistent with applicable legal
requirements, and to impose appropriate sanctions
on violators of this policy.
Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence,
stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to
also preserve evidence by saving text messages,
instant messages, social networking pages, other
communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other
copies of documents, if they have any, that would be
useful to University hearing boards/investigators or
police. Although the university strongly encourages
all members of its community to report violations
of this policy to law enforcement, it is the victim’s
choice whether or not to make such a report and
victims have the right to decline involvement with the
police. The University will assist any victim with notifying the university or local police if they so desire.
If a report of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault or stalking is reported to the University, linked are the procedures that the University
will follow as well as a statement of the standard of
evidence that will be used during any judicial hearing
on campus arising from such a report:
The University will provide resources, on campus
off campus or both, to include medical, health, to
persons who have been victims of sexual assault,
domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking,
As time passes, evidence may dissipate or become
lost or unavailable, thereby making investigation,
possible prosecution, disciplinary proceedings, or
obtaining protection from abuse orders related to
the incident more difficult. If a victim chooses not to
make a complaint regarding an incident, he or she
nevertheless should consider speaking with Campus
Public Safety or other law enforcement to preserve
evidence in the event that the victim changes their
mind at a later date.

VICTIM SERVICES AND RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
NO CONTACT/PROTECTION ORDERS
Any person who obtains an order of protection
should provide a copy to University Police, by calling
and setting a meeting with an officer. The meeting
with University Police will help to develop a Safety
Action Plan, which is a plan for campus police and
the victim to reduce risk of harm while on campus
or coming and going from campus. The individual, if
a student will also meet with the Dean of Students
office and if a staff member will meet with Human
Resources. The University cannot apply for a legal
order of protection, no contact order or restraining
order for a victim from the applicable jurisdiction(s).
The victim is required to apply directly for these
services through the Dunn County Clerk of Courts or
applicable county of jurisdiction.
The University may issue an institutional no contact
order if deemed appropriate or at the request of
the victim or accused. To the extent of the victim’s
cooperation and consent, university offices will
work cooperatively to ensure that the complainant’s
health, physical safety, work and academic status
are protected, pending the outcome of a formal university investigation of the complaint. For example, if
reasonably available, a complainant may be offered
changes to academic, living, or working situations
in addition to counseling, health services, visa and
immigration assistance and assistance in notifying
appropriate local law enforcement. Additionally, personal identifiable information about the victim will be
treated as confidential and only shared with persons
with a specific need to know who are investigating/
adjudicating the complaint or delivering resources
or support services to the complainant (for example, publicly available record-keeping for purposes
of Clery Act reporting and disclosures will be made
without inclusion of identifying information about
the victim, as defined in 42 USC 1395 (a) (20).)
Further, the institution will maintain as confidential, any accommodations or protective measures
provided to the victim to the extent that maintaining
such confidentiality would not impair the ability of
the institution to provide the accommodations or
protective measures.
The University does not publish the name of crime
victims nor house identifiable information regarding
victims in the campus police departments Daily
Crime Log or online. Victims may request that
directory information on file be removed from public
sources by request through university Registrar’s
office.

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING A COMPLAINT/ ADJUDICATIONS/
PROCESSES AND APPEALS
The University has procedures in place that serve to
be sensitive to those who report sexual
assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and
stalking, including informing individuals about their
right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of counseling, health, mental health, victim
advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration
assistance and other services on and/or off campus
as well as additional remedies to prevent contact
between a complainant and an accused party, such
as housing, academic, transportation and working
accommodations, if reasonably available. The University will make such accommodations, if the victim
requests them and if they are reasonably available,
regardless of whether the victim chooses to report
the crime to the University Police or local law enforcement.
45
UW-STOUT STUDENT DISIPLINARY PROCEDURES
Every member of the UW-Stout community has the right
to experience their academic, work and social life in an
environment that is free from threats, danger, and harassment. The UW System and UW–Stout have policies
and procedures to respond to behavior of students and
employees that interfere with the life and work of the
University and its members.
UW-Stout determines the type of proceeding to use
based on the status of the accused. If the accused person is a student, then the student disciplinary process
will be utilized. If the accused person is an employee,
then the appropriate employee disciplinary process will
be used, based on the employee’s classification.
Department of Education guidelines anticipate that
complaints will be resolved within 60 days of UW-Stout
receiving a complaint or notice of a hostile environment,
not including appeals. UW-Stout will make every effort to
adhere to this timeline, but the Department of Education
acknowledges that unavoidable circumstances may delay
the resolution of complaint. Such delays will be evaluated by UW-Stout on a case-by-case basis. Circumstances that cause a delay may include, but are not limited
to, a parallel criminal investigation, school breaks, and
reasonable requests by either party for an extension, the
complexity of the investigation and the severity of the alleged conduct. Both parties will receive periodic updates
throughout the process.
RIGHTS OF VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE AND/OR STALKING
Victims are afforded rights by the U.S. Government, the
State of Wisconsin, and UW-Stout.
Federal law and UW-Stout policy entitle sexual assault,
domestic violence, dating violence and stalking victims to
the following rights:
Disciplinary proceedings that provide a prompt, fair, and
impartial investigation and resolution.
Disciplinary proceedings that are conducted by panel
members who receive annual training on the issues related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault
and stalking and how to conduct an investigation and
hearing process that protects the safety of victims and
promotes accountability.
The same opportunity to have others present throughout
disciplinary proceedings as the accused, including the
opportunity to be accompanied to any related meeting or
proceeding by an advisor of their choice.
Both parties shall be simultaneously informed, in writing,
of the outcome of any disciplinary proceeding that arises
from an allegation of sexual assault, domestic violence,
dating violence and/or stalking; of the procedures for
either party to appeal the outcome; of any change to the
results that occurs prior to the time that such results
become final; and of when such results become final. At
no time can a victim be required to keep the outcome
confidential, or be prohibited from discussing the case.
Victims have the same rights as the accused to appeal
the outcome of a disciplinary proceeding.
Victims shall be informed of their options to notify law
enforcement.
UW-Stout will provide written notification to students and
employees about existing counseling, health, mental
health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and
immigration assistance, student financial aid and other
services available to victims, both within the institution
and in the community.
Victims shall be notified, in writing, of options for changing academic, transportation, work, living situations and
protective measures.
Victims can obtain a free forensic exam from a Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) without filing a police
report or involving the police in any way. Other hospital
charges may apply.
46
UW-STOUT STUDENT DISIPLINARY PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
WISCONSIN LAW OUTLINES THE FOLLOWING:
University of Wisconsin System Chapter 17 outlines the
student disciplinary process. Students have the right to
know the range of sanctions the institution can impose
on the accused (UWS 17.10(1)), which include the
following: written reprimand; denial of specified university
privileges; imposition of reasonable terms and conditions
on continued student status; restitution; removal of the
student from the course in progress; disciplinary probation; suspension; and expulsion. Full text of this UWS
17 can found below and online here: http://legis.state.
wi.us/rsb/code/uws/uws017.pdf.
In addition to the rights given by federal and state law,
UW-Stout is committed to ensuring that victims of
violence also have the following rights:
The right to a victim advocate of their choosing.
The right to access STI testing and treatment, emergency
contraception, and pregnancy testing.
The right to be informed of and have access to their own
medical, mental health, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner
(SANE), campus disciplinary, and/or victim advocacy
services.
The right to not be punished for underage drinking if
reporting a sexual assault or other crime per UW–Stout’s
Responsible Action Guidelines. “In those cases where
a student has been a victim of sexual assault and/or a
violent crime while under the influence of alcohol, neither
the Dean of Students, University Housing nor UW–Stout
Police will pursue disciplinary actions against the student
victim (or against a witness) for his or her improper use
of alcohol (e.g., underage drinking). A student victim
who is under the influence of alcohol at the time of a
sexual assault is entitled to university and community
assistance and encouraged to seek help.” For more
information, visit: https://www.uwstout.edu/services/
dean/upload/AOD-Responsible-Action-Guidelines-revision-2014-UW-Stout.pdf.
The right to have options for offering their testimony in a
campus disciplinary hearing, including via phone or with a
room partition.
UW-Stout will disclose to the victim of a crime of violence
or sex-offense, the results of any disciplinary hearing
conducted by UW-Stout against a student who is an
alleged perpetrator of such crime or offense. If the victim
is deceased as a result of the crime or offense, UW-Stout
will provide the results of the disciplinary hearing to the
next of kin, if requested in writing.
CAMPUS STUDENT DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES FOR
MISCONDUCT INVOLVING SEXUAL ASSAULT, DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE, AND STALKING
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SYSTEM CHAPTER 17
The UW System and UW–Stout have policies and procedures to respond to behavior of students that interferes
with the life and work of the University and its members.
UWS Chapter 17 is a part of the University of Wisconsin
Administrative Code and was adopted by the Board of
Regents as a set of disciplinary procedures for the University System. It defines conduct by students that may
result in University discipline because it causes harm
either to another member of the University community or
to the University itself. UWS Chapter 17 also describes
the sanctions which may be imposed and the procedures
for carrying out disciplinary actions. Due process for
students accused of misconduct is an important part of
these procedures. (Note: Academic misconduct is covered in UWS Chapter 14. UWS Chapters 17 and 18 apply
to nonacademic student misconduct; faculty and staff
are governed by UWS Chapters 4, 7, and 11.)
Nonacademic misconduct policies cover a broad spectrum of conduct involving students’ behavior wherever
it takes place. A student may be subject to discipline
for conduct that is or already has been the subject of
criminal action. This means that a student ticketed or
arrested by law enforcement may also be subject to mis-
47

THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A FORMAL HEARING
BY THE RESPONDENT
If the Dean of Students Office determines that misconduct occurred, the respondent has the right to a formal
hearing to contest the decision that the student engaged
in misconduct, the disciplinary action imposed, or both.
The hearing may be at the respondent’s request or may
be scheduled automatically, depending on the sanction
imposed. When the discipline imposed is less severe,
the respondent may request a hearing by submitting a
written notice within 10 calendar days after the finding
of misconduct. In cases where the discipline imposed
includes suspension or expulsion, UWS Chapter 17
provides for the hearing to be scheduled automatically
unless the respondent waives the right to the hearing in
writing via a settlement agreement.
In any hearing (whether by student election or automatically scheduled) the student maintains the right to have a
representative present on the student’s behalf, including
the right to be advised by counsel at the student’s own
expense, the right to question witnesses, and the right
to obtain a transcript of the proceedings at the student’s
own expense. Advisors are permitted to speak if the
sanction recommended is suspension, expulsion, or if
there is a concurrent criminal case.
49
INTERIM INTERVENTIONS AND DISCLOSURE OF PROCEEDINGS
The Title IX Coordinator or their designee will determine whether interim interventions and protective
measure should be implemented, and, if so, take
steps to implement those protective measures as
soon as possible. Examples of interim protective
measures include, but are not limited to: a University order of no contact, residence hall relocation, adjustment of course schedules, a leave of absence,
or reassignment to a different supervisor or position. These remedies may be applied to one, both,
or multiple parties involved. Violations of the Title IX
Coordinator’s directives and/or protective measures
will constitute related violations that may lead to
additional disciplinary action. Protective measures
imposed may be temporary pending the results
of an investigation or may become permanent as
determined by UW Stout.
The University will, upon written request, disclose
to the alleged victim and perpetrator of a crime of
violence, or a non-forcible sex offense, the report
on the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by such institution against a student who is
the alleged perpetrator of such crime or offense. If
the alleged victim is deceased as the result of such
crime or offense, the next of kin of such victim shall
be treated as the alleged victim for purposes of this
paragraph.
STATEMENT REGARDING EMPLOYEE DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS
In April 2015, the University of Wisconsin Board of
Regents approved rule revisions to the administrative rules known as Ch. UWS 4, Wis. Admin. Code,
“Procedures for Dismissal of Faculty,” Ch. UWS 7,
Wis. Admin. Code, “Dismissal of Faculty in Special Cases,” and Ch. UWS 11, Wis. Admin. Code,
“Dismiss of Academic Staff for Cause” to comply
with the directives outlined in Title IX, the Dear
Colleague Letter issued by the U.S. Department of
Education Office for Civil Rights, and the Violence
Against Women Act. The final rule revisions are expected to be in place with the start of the 2016 fall

STATEMENT ADDRESSING SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION:
The Campus Sex Crime Prevention Act (CSCPA), enacted in October 2000, took effect on October 2002. As
of that date, the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registration
Program will be collecting and making available information about a sex offender’s enrollment or employment with institutions of the University of Wisconsin
System. Several key provisions of the Act include:
• Sex offenders who must register under a state
offender registration program must notify the state
regarding each higher education institution at which
the person is employed or enrolled and any changes in
that status.
• Sex Offender Registration Programs must convey
promptly to an institution’s police department information regarding a sex offender registrant’s enrollment or
employment at that institution.
Institutions will not request sex offender information
from the state program. They will post information provided to them. University of Wisconsin-Stout Police receives this information from the Wisconsin Department
of Corrections – Sexual Offender Registry Program
(SORP) and posts our information at Campus Registry
EDUCATION AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS
Education and Prevention Programs The University
engages in comprehensive, intentional, and integrated
programming, initiatives, strategies, and campaigns
intended to end dating violence, domestic violence,
sexual assault and stalking that:
• Are culturally relevant, inclusive of diverse communities and identities, sustainable, responsive to community needs, and informed by research, or assessed for
value, effectiveness, or outcome; and
• Consider environmental risk and protective factors as
they occur on the individual, relationship, institutional,
community and societal levels.
Educational programming consists of primary prevention and awareness programs for all incoming
students and new employees and ongoing awareness
and prevention campaigns for students and employees
that:
a. Identifies domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault and stalking as prohibited conduct;
b. Defines using definitions provided both by the
Department of Education as well as state law what
behavior constitutes domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking;
c. Defines what behavior and actions constitute consent to sexual activity in the State of Wisconsin;
d. Provides a description of safe and positive options
for bystander intervention. Bystander intervention
means safe and positive options that may be carried
out by an individual or individuals to prevent harm
or intervene when there is a risk of dating violence,
domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Bystander
intervention includes recognizing situations of potential
harm, understanding institutional structures and cultural conditions that facilitate violence, overcoming barriers
to intervening, identifying safe and effective intervention
options, and taking action to intervene;
e. Information on risk reduction. Risk reduction means
options designed to decrease perpetration and bystander in action, and to increase empowerment for victims
in order to promote safety and to help individuals and
communities address conditions that facilitate violence.
f. Provides an overview of information contained in the
Annual Security Report in compliance with the Clery Act.

HOUSING STAFF FOCUSED EMPLOYEES
There were two separate training sessions regarding Alcohol for RA Trainings in Fall 2014 (August 2014):
• one repeat session that focused on personal use as an
RA; and,
• one that focused on having difficult conversations about
alcohol and drugs which included an introductory view
of motivational interviewing technique.
Additional training regarding alcohol with staff occurred
as part of confrontation and incident report writing skills
which include role playing practice.
In Fall 2015 (August 2015), the difficult conversation session was repeated which reinforces personal interactions,
as well as the confrontation and incident report writing
skills portions.
Two Sexual Assault Response/VAWA/Title 9 Housing Staff
Inservices occurred in Fall 2014 (October 2014) for all
Housing staff to attend. These sessions involved police
and advocacy involvement, as well as University conduct
procedures for response to sexual assault. This inservice
was incorporated into the Fall 2015 Training schedule
(August 2015).
UW-Stout’s Smart+Healthy campaigns utilize social norming which encourages behavior change by drawing attention to the gap that exists between what student perceive
and their actual behavior.
STUDENT FOCUSED ACTIVITIES
University Housing’s community focus is on personal
interactions versus large group events as supported by
satisfaction and learning outcome benchmarking data
(Skyfactor-EBI Housing Assessments). This focus means
that alcohol training sessions rarely occur in a floor event
format unless outreach programs come in from Peer
Health Educators or Wellness Pros (Counseling Center
Peers); instead, individual residents are prompted in
various interviews and questions sets completed by the
resident advisors throughout the year. These questions are
typically asked around high risk drinking times such as first
six weeks, Homecoming and Spring Break. Moreover, the
social norming and education formats for alcohol initiatives are developed and implemented through our professional hall director staff in partnerships with campus AODA
who have more knowledge and experience in these areas
and seek out data-driven high impact practices.
As such, the following High Risk Reduction initiatives focus
on student residents as the target population:
Tone Setting & Social Norming Initiatives:
• A percent who choose not to drink poster is posted
in all halls for opening/move-in day (September 2014
& 2015)
• A series of 5 large bulletin boards regarding
Smart+Healthy use are distributed to each hall director

at the beginning of each year. One must be posted
at Opening and the others are distributed through-out
the year. (September 2014 & 2015)
• A 3 poster social norming series is distributed each
October (Smart+Healthy percentages)
• A 5 poster bystander Intervention poster series is also
distributed each Fall (friends don’t let friends) (Octo
ber-November, 2014 & 2015)
• An AA/NA poster that indicates these services are
available within the community. (October-November,
2014 & 2015)
• Alcohol Free Floors where contract addendum are
signed and consequences for first violation mean
removal to another floor. (January-August, 2014 &
2015)
Active Engagement Initiatives:
• A slow-down event from 10-midnight on the Thursday
of Homecoming Week (Stout’s Favorite Pizza) which is
currently the largest homecoming event with 500 peo
ple in attendance. (October 2014 & 2015)
• Monthly Interview questions in First Year Halls discuss
how friendships are developing, what activities are
individuals involved with, where are they meeting new
people, personal alcohol use? (Initial Dialogues,
Roommate Agreements, Personal Interaction Outreach
Questions, Mapworks Follow-ups)
• Monthly Interview questions in TNE Halls discuss
where friendships are deepening, how they meet peo
ple, personal alcohol use and what they ultimately
want out of their college experience? (Roommate
Agreements, Personal Interaction Outreach Questions,
Mapworks Follow-ups)
• Peer Health Educator Programs and Wellness Pro
Events (20 per year) that occur throughout the semes ter. These events typically include discussion of by

(CONTINUED)
Intervention programming:
Below is a summary of participation in our Alcohol
Awareness Program (AAP-I and AAP-II), which provides
evidence-based educational and counseling interventions
to reduce high-risk drinking and its negative consequences
among students. Our participants are primarily UW-Stout
students receiving underage drinking citations, who are
referred by the Dunn County Court System in exchange for
a reduced fine and reinstatement of their driver’s license.
AOD program staff members provide a weekly orientation

LETTER FROM UW CHIEF OF POLICE
Letter from Chief Lisa Walter According to Security on Campus, 80% of all crimes against students are perpetrated by other students. On September 21, 2015, the Association of American Universities released their results from the “Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct”. This survey was designed to assess the incidence, prevalence and characteristics of incidents of sexual assault and misconduct. Some key findings: •
•
•
•
•
Overall, 11.7 percent of student respondents across 27 universities reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact by physical force, threats of physical force, or incapacitation since they enrolled at their university. The incidence of sexual assault and misconduct due to physical force, threats of physical force, or incapacitation among female undergraduate student respondents was 23.1 percent, including 10.8 percent who experienced penetration. Overall rates of reporting to campus officials and law enforcement or others were low, ranging from 5 – 28 percent, depending on the type of behavior. The most common reason for not reporting incidents of sexual assault and misconduct was that it was not considered serious enough. Other reasons included, because they were “embarrassed, ashamed or that it would be too emotionally difficult,” and because they “did not think anything would be done about it”. More than 6 in 10 student respondents (63.3 percent) believe that a report of sexual assault or misconduct would be taken seriously by campus officials. With all of that, I encourage you to keep the crime statistics and numbers in perspective. The statistics are compiled from information received from cases reported to law enforcement, but also those reported to university officials. Our overall goal is to have some of these numbers increase. When reported incidents to police and other officials increase, more people in the community become aware and are able to make smart and healthy choices. Increased reporting allows for increased abilities to investigate incidents and potentially solve crimes and hold those accountable for their actions. As many people in the UW-­‐Stout community have heard me say, “This, life part, is the portion of your education that you are not paying per credit for”. The more you know, the more you can, not only, help yourself, but be an active, supportive bystander for your friends and others within our community. I encourage everyone to not only look at statistics, but review the full report and keep it for future reference. Present me with any questions or concerns that you may have with the report. I can be reached directly at 715-­‐232-­‐2266 or walterl@uwstout.edu. The men and women of the University of Wisconsin-­‐Stout Police Department operate with three words in mind, Available, Accessible, and Approachable. It’s who we are and how we do business. This report exemplifies this. Thank you for your interest in being an active part in enhancing your safety and the safety of others while in our community! Lisa A. Walter Chief of Police University of Wisconsin-­‐Stout 61
