UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN STOUT - 2004 Annual Safety Report
Introduction from Chancellor Sorensen:
In this document, the University of Wisconsin - Stout has
provided you, the reader, with information related to campus safety and
security. I encourage all of you to read the information in the attached
Annual Crime Statistics report for 2004. This information is being provided
to you annually as information sharing with our campus community. Many of
you know this report as the Clery Act Report of Crime Statistics. Following
the 1986 tragic sexual assault and murder of a young woman named Jeanne
Clery at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, her parents organized and lobbied
to establish standards for crime reporting on all college campuses in the
nation. Click on www.campussafety.org
to visit and learn more about her and the act created in her name.
The result of their effort was the passage of the Student Right-To-Know
and Campus Security Act in 1990. In 1998 the act was amended and renamed
The Jeanne Clery Act. Wisconsin Statutes also require the provision of specific
information about sexual assault and sexual harassment issues. In passing
these laws, the Federal government and the State of Wisconsin have made
a commitment to enhance safety by requiring the University to provide specific
information to you.
With the release of this report, we challenge all of you to become involved
in building even safer, more caring communities where you live, educate,
work and learn. We pay tribute to those of you who have already taken personal
responsibility for your communities to help reduce opportunities for and
causes of crime. Get involved and be active! You are the one person who
can do the most for your personal safety.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Sorensen,
Chancellor
