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.
