UNIVERSITY
Bill calls for campus crime stats
Athlete grad figures also may be needed
By Robert Ward
Emerald Editorial Editor
A bill passed by the US.
House of Representatives in
june would make mandatory
the release of crime statistics of
every public university and col
lege receiving federal financial
aid.
Hut the University has had a
policy of annually releasing
crime statistics for the past 20
years, said Muriel K. |ackson.
assistant vice president of ad
ministration.
"The University has a police
oriented approach for reporting
and collecting" crime data, she
said.
The University has a close
working relationship with the
Eugene Police Department.
Jackson said. And through a
contract with the EPD, the Uni
varsity has six police personnel
working on campus, she said
The House bill, called the
Student Right to Know Act.
also includes provisions to re
lease student-athlete gradua
tion statistics, broken down by
sport and gender. Another por
tion of the bill calls for crime
awareness and campus security
provisions.
Because a Senate version of
the bill deals strictly with grad
uation statistics, final wording
of the legislation must be
worked out by the full Con
gress.
Jackson said the University
"already has safety and report
ing systems" in place, and any
extra added costs in time, mon
ey. or extra staff would be min
imal.
i he bill would encourage the
development of security poli
cies and procedures on all cam
puses. and would mandate uni
formity and consistency in the
reporting of crimes on cam
puses.
Only 352 out of H.ooo post
secondary institutions partici
pating in federal student aid
programs voluntarily provide
crime statistics to the FBI. ac
cording to the House bill.
Campus crime reports can be
recognized in the EPD files by
the signature of the campus po
lice officers, but whether the
University provides these sta
tistics to the FBI separately was
unavailable at press time.
Crime statistics are posted
monthly in the Campus Securi
ty Office and are open to the
public.
