University of Oregon (UO), founded in 1876, is the state’s flagship institution. Located in Eugene, an energetic college town, the university offers academic excellence and hands-on learning opportunities in a welcoming atmosphere. Towering trees shade the 295-acre campus, where students, faculty members, and employees from a wide variety of backgrounds share a commitment to preserving the environment and pursuing innovation in more than 200 academic programs that range from Eugene to Portland and from the coast to the mountains. The UO is a city within a city, complete with a complex network of departments and personnel needed to run smoothly. Located in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area of around 360,000 residents in Oregon’s Southern Willamette Valley, the university is a hub of activity for more than 23,600 students and more than 6000 employees. The UO Campus Security and Fire Safety Report, published annually, provides crime and fire statistics and information on safety and security related services offered by the university, in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The report summarizes university and campus safety and security programs and contains policies and procedures designed to enhance personal safety at the University of Oregon. This report is prepared with data and information provided by the UO Police Department (UOPD), the Office of the Dean of Students (including Student Conduct and Community Standards, Crisis Intervention and Sexual Violence Support Services, and Sexual Violence Prevention and Education), Safety and Risk Services (including Emergency Management and Continuity, Fire Prevention, and Environmental Health and Safety), the Title IX Coordinator, campus security authorities and various law enforcement agencies that provide services to UO properties within their jurisdictions. The report includes crime statistics for the previous three calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred within campus Clery boundaries, to include on campus; in certain off- campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the University of Oregon; and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. Fire statistics for the previous three calendar years are included. The UO Campus Security and Fire Safety Report details important information regarding campus security and safety for the Eugene, Portland and Oregon Institute of Marine Biology campuses. For example, prevention and response to sexual assault and other serious crimes, crime prevention and security awareness information, crime reporting procedures, substance abuse prevention and education, campus and community services and resources for employees and students who are victims of crime, fire safety and emergency and evacuation procedures, as well as other matters of importance to the campus community. Campus and community resources for crime survivors are available for students at safe.uoregon.edu, and for employees on the Human Resources website at: http://hr.uoregon.edu/hr-programs-services/campus-and- community-resources-employees. Prevention programs and efforts are listed at prevention.uoregon.edu. Other resources and information are available on the University of Oregon Police Department (UOPD) website at police.uoregon.edu.
