Confidentiality

The University does not have procedures for voluntary confidential reporting of crime statistics.  Violations of law will be referred to law enforcement agencies and, when appropriate, to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution. When an on-going or continuing threat to the University community is reported, a Crime Alert will be issued.

Crimes reported to counselors at the Student Counseling Services, the Psychology Clinic, or to a physician or nurse at the Health Services Center are confidential by law. Some off-campus reports may also be legally confidential (for example, to clergy, the Community Counseling and Crisis Center, and McCullough-Hyde Hospital). Crimes reported to the above are not included in the annual crime statistics report.

Because of Ohio's Public Records law, Miami is not permitted to promise confidentiality to persons reporting crimes or to individuals or offices that supply crime statistics for this annual report.

Crimes Involving Miami Students

The Miami University Police Department (MUPD) incident reports involving students accused of misconduct are forwarded to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution for review and potential action, as appropriate. MUPD officers have the authority to issue citations and make arrests involving criminal activity that occurs on campus, as deemed appropriate.  MUPD will investigate a report when it is deemed appropriate.

Additional information obtained via the investigation will also be forwarded to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution. If assistance is required from any of the local police departments listed above, MUPD will contact the appropriate unit. If a sexual assault or rape should occur, MUPD will offer the victim a wide variety of services and refer the student-victim to the Office of the Dean of Students for support services.
