September 2018
Dear Campus Community Member:
Thank you for taking the time to read this report. It is packed with helpful information about safety and
security on our campus.
At the Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS), we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure campus,
and we ask our community to partner with us in achieving this goal.
This report is part of our ongoing effort to inform you of the safety programs and services available to the
University community, the crimes reported to DPSS personnel, and the steps you can take to maintain a safe
and secure campus.
At DPSS, we take all crimes against our students, faculty, staff and visitors very seriously. UMPD police
officers are licensed by the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) and have full
authority to investigate, search, arrest and use reasonable force, if necessary, to protect people and property
under Michigan law and the U-M Regents’ Ordinance. We encourage all of our community members to report
crimes and concerns to DPSS. We are available 24/7.
Additionally, we provide many other programs that enhance the safety and security of our community. On our
website you can view our Active Attacker Response and Prevention video, sign up for self-defense classes,
register your bike and electronics and much more. I urge you to review the information here and on our
website.
We have no greater priority than the safety of our students, faculty, staff, patients and visitors. A truly safe
campus can only be achieved through community partnership. Together, we can help make campus a safe place
for everyone.
Sincerely,
Eddie L. Washington, Jr.

䡵 the Campus Safety section details safety on campus, offers
risk reduction techniques, and describes services available on-
and off-campus;
䡵 the University Policies and State Laws section provides
details of University and state of Michigan rules, regulations
and laws regarding safety issues such as sexual assault,

䡵 the Safety and Health-Related Resources, Counseling
and Support Services, and University Programs section

Compiling the ASR/AFSR
The U-M Division of Public Safety and Security prepares this
report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The full text of this report
can be located on the U-M DPSS website at
http://dpss.umich.edu/docs/clery.pdf. This report, which is
compiled by the University’s Clery Compliance Coordinator in
DPSS, is prepared in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Police
Department and other law enforcement agencies surrounding the
Ann Arbor campus and outlying areas as well as those with police
jurisdiction for other U-M properties in cities such as Detroit.
Additionally, each of the resources listed in the report contribute to
its compilation, especially key stakeholders such as the Office for
Institutional Equity (the U-M’s Title IX office) and units in the
Division of Student Life.
The report also includes the Annual Fire Safety Report (AFSR) with
statistics and fire safety information provided for University
Housing facilities as required by the Higher Education Opportunity
Act.
Each year, an e-mail notification is made to all enrolled students,
faculty and staff that provides the website address to access this
report. Copies of this report also may be obtained at the U-M
DPSS office at 109 E. Madison St., the U-M Police Department at
1239 Kipke Dr., or by calling (734) 763-8391. All prospective
students and employees are informed in application packets of
the report’s existence and the website address where it can be
found.
The complete ASR/AFSR and the official crime statistics section
(complete with status updates after Aug. 1, 2018) can be viewed
at www.dpss.umich.edu.
The University of Michigan community is made up of tens of
thousands of people – students, faculty, staff, contractors,
patients, and visitors. Moreover, its property in the City of Ann
Arbor covers more than 2,000 acres and includes more than 500
buildings. By the very nature of its size and composition, the U-M
community and environs are susceptible to crime.
Safety is ultimately the responsibility of the individual and his or
her cooperation is essential to improve security for everyone.
The official Annual Security & Fire Safety Report (complete with
supporting information relative to crime status updates after Aug.
1, 2018 ) can be viewed at www.dpss.umich.edu.

CRiME STATiSTiCS
Campus crime, arrest and referral statistics include those
incidents reported to U-M DPSS, other law enfor
cement agencies
and designated campus officials considered to be “Campus
Security Authorities” (CSAs). These incident reports also are
reviewed by the U-M DPSS Clery Compliance coordinator and
DPSS commanders for consideration of timely warning
publications. CSAs include but are not limited to University
Housing staff; Division of Student Life staff; Athletics coaches;
Office of Student Conflict Resolution; Office for Institutional
Equity; University deans, and certain other officials in each school
and college; student judicial affairs; senior human resource
directors of Staff HR Services and Academic Human Resources
and the Michigan Medicine Director of Labor Relations; advisors
to recognized student organizations, and DPSS. Employees in
these units who have primary responsibilities for dining, clerical
and custodial services are excluded.
Campus “professional counselors” in Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS) and Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center (SAPAC) staff have state-provided confidential
privilege and are not required to report crimes for inclusion into
the Annual Security Report. However, as a matter of policy, they
are encouraged to inform persons being counseled of the
procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into
the annual crime statistics.
The crime classifications and geographical references in the
statistics charts on pages 7, 8 and 9 are those required to be
disclosed by the Clery Act. “On-campus property” includes all
property in and around Ann Arbor that is owned or managed by
the University. See pages 24-25 for a map. “Non-campus
property” includes those U-M owned, managed or controlled-
through-lease locations outside of Ann Arbor as well as those
properties owned or managed by recognized student
organizations, such as fraternities, sororities and cooperative
houses. “Public property” includes the streets and sidewalks
contiguous to the U-M on-campus property. The incidents listed
as “reported to police” include reports to the U-M Police
Department, the Ann Arbor Police Department, and other
agencies which have jurisdiction for remote locations. “Reported
to other CSAs” includes those crimes or disciplinary referrals for
violations of crimes that were reported to U-M officials who are
considered Campus Security Authorities other than police or
security; these statistics are not duplicative of police reports.
The two charts on this page are provided as additional information
regarding crime reports on campus. This information is not
required by the Clery Act but is deemed helpful to our campus
community. The larceny statistics are provided by the U-M Police
Department. The chart of incidents reported to U-M’s Sexual
Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) represent all
incidents reported to SAPAC, directly or indirectly, during the year,
including incidents on and off campus, including out of state, as
well as incidents that occurred during the reporting year or in
previous years. Perpetrators could be strangers, friends, family
members or acquaintances.

3. Annual Fire Safety
Report
FiRE SAFETy iN ON-CAMPUS
HOUSiNg
Keeping our campus safe and healthy is a priority for everyone.
Planning ahead and taking precautions can be important elements in
maintaining a safe environment. This especially is true regarding fire
prevention – from installing appropriate infrastructure to taking personal
responsibility to prevent accidental or intentional fires – everyone can
participate. In on-campus residential environments with hundreds of
people living in close proximity, each person must adhere to strong fire
prevention practices and look out for their neighbors. University
Housing provides a number of important services and programs
designed to help students think ahead, live smart and play it safe
during their years in University Housing. All residence halls, including
resident rooms, are smoke-free environments. Space heaters, electrical
appliances with exposed heating elements and all open flames are
among items prohibited in the residence halls. For more information,
visit www.housing.umich.edu/health-and-safety
A minimum of one fire drill per academic year was conducted in each
residence hall in 2016. Activating a false fire alarm is a violation of state
law. See Fire Setting and False Alarms section on page 31. All fires
should be reported to the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security
by calling 9-1-1 or pulling a fire alarm station. All building occupants
must exit the building as quickly as possible when an alarm is sounding
or fire or smoke is visible. Re-occupancy will be allowed once an all-
clear is issued by fire, police or security personnel.
RESiDENCE HALLS: Each traditional residence hall is protected by a
code-compliant fire alarm system that includes hard-wired intelligent
smoke detectors and sounder-bases in each residential space.
Notification of occupants is effected by horns, speakers, strobe lights
and sounder-bases. Each fire alarm system has 24-hour battery back-
up power. All fire alarm systems report, upon activation, to the
U-M Division of Public Safety and Security Dispatch Services via
MOSCAD wireless transmission.
Each traditional residence hall is equipped with a fire-rated door
assembly in each fire-rated enclosure, including stairwells, corridors
and individual residential rooms. Each residential corridor also is
equipped with one or more fire extinguishers.
The following chart details fire sprinkler systems currently installed in
University of Michigan owned and operated traditional residence halls.
“Full” refers to a building that is 100% protected by automatic fire
sprinkler systems. “Partial” refers to a building that is not 100%
protected.
NORTHWOOD APARTMENTS: Each University of Michigan owned
and operated apartment is equipped with multiple code-compliant
hard-wired/battery backup smoke detectors as well as one “ABC” type
fire extinguisher.

CRiMiNAL ACTiViTy
Reporting Crime On Campus
University community members, students, faculty, staff and
guests are encouraged to report all crimes and public safety-
related incidents to police or security in a timely manner.
Bystanders or witnesses are encouraged to report when a victim
is unable to report. Police are able to provide numerous
resources to victims, investigate and solve crimes, assist in
adjudication and help create personal safety plans. Sexual
misconduct also may be reported to the Office for Institutional
Equity.
To report a crime or an emergency, call 9-1-1. The call will be
answered by the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security
(DPSS) if on campus, or the Ann Arbor Police Department or
other appropriate law enforcement agency off campus. Calls from
campus Blue-Light Emergency telephones directly connect to
DPSS. Dispatch officers are available at these respective
agencies 24 hours a day to answer your calls.
Additionally, you can send an emergency text message about any
crime on campus to 377911. Be sure to indicate the type of
crime, time and location of incident, and any information about
potential suspects or weapons. For non-emergencies, call (734)
763-1131.
If assistance is required from the Ann Arbor Fire Department,
Huron Valley Ambulance, the Ann Arbor Police or another law
enforcement agency, DPSS will contact the appr
opriate agency. If
a sexual assault is reported, staff on the scene, including DPSS,
will inform the survivor of a wide variety of services. The Sexual
Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) also will be
contacted. SAPAC has trained staff who are available to assist a
reportee 24 hours a day.
This publication contains information about on-campus and off
campus resources for victims of crimes and emergencies. The
information about “resources” is not provided to infer that those
resources are “reporting entities” for the University of Michigan.
Crimes should be reported to DPSS to investigate, ensure
inclusion in the annual crime statistics, and aid in providing timely
warning notices to the community when appropriate.
Information on criminal activity also may be reported
anonymously by calling the University’s Anonymous Tip Line at
(800) 863-1355. The Ann Arbor Police Department also has a
police tipline at (734) 794-6939.
All reports will be investigated. Because police reports are public
records under state law, DPSS cannot hold reports of crime in
confidence.
For a daily listing of incidents reported to DPSS, visit
www.dpss.umich.edu.
Confidential Reporting
Persons who are victims of a crime and do not want to pursue
action within the University system or the criminal justice system
still may want to consider making a confidential report. With
permission, the UMPD Police Chief or his designee can file a
report on the details of the incident without revealing a victim’s
identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with the
victim’s wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps
to ensure the future safety of the victim and others. With such
information, the University can keep accurate records of the
number of incidents involving students, determine where there is
a pattern of crime with regard to a particular location, method, or
assailant, and alert the campus community to potential danger.
Campus Security Authorities
Certain University employees are considered Campus Security
Authorities by the University and the U.S. Department of
Education. These include staff in University Housing; Division of
Student Life (except some medical providers in University Health
Service); Athletics coaches; Office of Student Conflict Resolution;
Office for Institutional Equity; University deans, and certain other
officials in each school and college; student judicial affairs; senior
human resource directors of Staff HR Services, Academic Human
Resources and Michigan Medicine Director of Labor Relations;
advisors to recognized student organizations; and the Division of
Public Safety and Security. Reports of crimes disclosed to these
employees will be reported to the University’s Clery Act
Compliance coordinator in DPSS to be evaluated for issuance of
a timely warning and included in the annual Clery Act crime
statistics. Identifying information of the victims and/or survivors
will not be published or disclosed.
Campus “professional counselors” such as Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS) and Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center (SAPAC) staff, have state-provided confidential
privilege and are not required to report crimes for inclusion into
the Annual Security Report. However, as a matter of policy, they
are encouraged to inform persons being counseled of the
procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into
the annual crime statistics.
Reporting Crime Off Campus
U-M Student Life maintains contact with recognized fraternity
and sorority organizations through the efforts of the Office of
Greek Life. Criminal activity at recognized fraternity and sorority
residences as well as other off-campus properties should be
reported to the Ann Arbor Police Department. The close working
relationship between DPSS and the Ann Arbor Police allows staff
to record and publish criminal activity near the campus and at
non-campus locations housing recognized student organizations.
Emergency Blue Light Phones
When the telephone receiver is removed from the cradle or the
button is pushed, DPSS is automatically alerted and an officer is
sent to the location of the telephone. No dialing or conversation
is required, however, try to describe the emergency, if possible.
See pages 24-25 for maps indicating emergency phone
locations.

experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or
stalking to make a report to law enforcement.
• If the incident occurred on campus, contact U-M Division of
Public Safety and Security (DPSS).
• If the incident occurred in Ann Arbor, contact the Ann Arbor
Police Department.
• If you are uncertain where the incident occurred or which
agency to contact, DPSS is available to help you determine
which agency has jurisdiction and will help you to report the
matter to that agency if you wish.
• In addition, the University has staff who will, upon request,
assist you in making a report to law enforcement. For assaults
occurring in the residence halls or at Michigan Medicine,
Housing Security 9-1-1 or (734) 763-1131 or Michigan
Medicine Security 9-1-1 or (734) 936-7890, respectively, can
assist in taking a report. Staff from SAPAC (734) 936-3333, the
Dean of Students Office (734) 764-7420, the Office for
Institutional Equity (734) 763-0235, and the Office of the
Student Ombuds (734) 763–3545 also will help individuals
report a matter to law enforcement.

sexual assault. In all cases, the most direct reporting mechanism
is to contact the Office for Institutional Equity: (734) 763-0235.
For concerns relating to a student respondent, another avenue is
to file a student sexual misconduct complaint with the Office for
Institutional Equity online:
studentsexualmisconductpolicy.umich.edu/report-an-incident

via telephone or on-line with the Compliance Office through the
Compliance Hotline: compliancehotline.umich.edu
(866) 990-0111.
Domestic/Dating Violence or Stalking
For concerns relating to domestic/dating violence or stalking,
the appropriate avenue for reporting depends on who the
respondent is.

University Review of Reports
Whenever the University receives a report of sexual assault,
intimate partner violence, or stalking, it will review that report
consistent with its applicable policies and procedures. The table
on page 14 notes various University policies that may apply to
these types of reports.
In all cases, the University’s policies and procedures seek to
provide a prompt, fair, and impartial resolution of the concern
reported. To that end, the individuals responsible for handling
sexual violence, intimate partner violence and stalking
investigations, sanctioning, and appeals receive annual training
on how to properly conduct their investigations of these concerns
in a way that promotes accountability as well as the safety of the
individuals involved, and of the University community as a whole.
The University investigation processes for reviewing sexual
violence, intimate partner violence and stalking* use a
preponderance of the evidence standard. In addition, these
processes permit the claimant, respondent, or witness to have an
adviser of their choice to provide support and guidance
throughout the process. The adviser may assist with all written
submissions made by a claimant or a respondent and attend any
meeting throughout the process. During any meeting, the adviser
is present to observe and provide support and counsel to the
participant. The adviser may not testify or obstruct the meeting.
The University’s processes also provide that the claimant and
respondent will receive written notification of the outcome of any
disciplinary proceeding relating to the reported concern, as well
as of any opportunities to appeal the results of that proceeding,
any changes to the results before they are finalized, and an
update when the results become final.
The University also recognizes the importance of maintaining, to
the greatest extent possible, the confidentiality of both the
claimant and respondent’s identities while it reviews the reported
concern. To that end, the University will share information
internally only as needed to ensure proper handling of the
concerns that have been raised, comply with legal obligations, or
provide any requested supportive measures, and will share
information externally only to the extent legally required to do so;
the University does not publish the identities of complainants in
its crime alerts or crime logs.
*Stalking behavior generally addressed under this Policy typically includes one or more of
the following elements: is sexual or romantic in nature; is committed by a claimant’s current
or former partner of an intimate, romantic or sexual relationship; or is related to the
claimant exhibiting what is perceived as a stereotypical characteristic for one’s sex, or for
failing to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity and femininity, regardless of the
actual or perceived sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression of
the claimant. The Title IX Coordinator, in consultation with OSCR will determine if the
reported conduct meet these criteria. Stalking behavior not addressed under this Policy
may be addressed under the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities as
harassment using a clear and convincing evidence standard.

Preserving Evidence
Sexual Assault
All victims of sexual assault have a right, under Michigan law, to
have a forensic medical examination and evidence kit collected
up to 120 hours (5 days) after the assault in order to preserve any
evidence of the assault. The forensic exam will be administered
by a registered nurse who has received advanced training to
provide care and treatment to sexual assault victims.
Even if you are not sure that you want to file a police report, it can
be helpful to have any available evidence collected in case you
decide to file a report with law enforcement at a later date. The
nurse also can provide emergency contraception, treatment for
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other needed medical
care. Sexual assault forensic exams will not be billed to medical
insurance without your consent.
you can obtain a for
ensic exam and evidence kit at any of these
facilities:
University Hospital
Emergency Department
(734) 936-6666
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital
Emergency Department
(734) 572-3000
University Health Services (UHS)
(734) 764-8320
If you seek evidence collection through any of these facilities, the
police will be contacted; however, it is up to you whether to share
any information with law enforcement. If you choose not to file a
police report at the time the kit is completed, the medical facility
where the evidence was collected will retain it for at least one
year.
An advocate from the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness
Center will be available at the medical facility to provide
information and support for University of Michigan students, staff,
or faculty. An advocate from SafeHouse will be available for
anyone, whether or not a member of the U-M community, who
requests one. you do not have to speak with an advocate.
intimate Partner V
iolence
Not all experiences of domestic or dating violence cause visible
injuries. If visible injuries are present, it can be helpful to
document them with photographs, if it is safe to do so. It is also
important to seek medical attention if possible and safe to do so.
Stalking
If you have experienced stalking, it can be helpful to an
investigation to retain any evidence of that behavior, including
documentation of any unwanted communication (whether written,
oral, electronic), postings (such as on social media), gifts, etc.

EMERgENCy NOTiFiCATiON
AND RESPONSE
UM Emergency Alert System
UM Emergency Alert is a mass, urgent notification system,
comprised of a variety of methods by which the University,
without undue delay, will notify students, faculty and staff of an
active, major campus emergency, including:
• Text message (SMS) to registered cell phones
• Voice message to registered telephones
• Push notification to Michigan app and DPSS app
• Emails
• Websites (umich.edu and dpss.umich.edu)
• Twitter & Facebook (@umichdpss)
• Some campus digital signs
When U-M DPSS leadership confirms there is a significant active
emergency or dangerous situation impacting the public safety of
the campus, an urgent notification will be sent without undue
delay by DPSS through the UM Emergency Alert system. Initial
confirmation by DPSS may occur by observation of a police or
security officer, multiple witness telephone calls, alarms
activating in DPSS Dispatch Sevices or a confirmed report from
another emergency responding agency (such as the National
Weather Service, the fire department, ambulance, hazardous
materials response team, FBI, County Public Health, etc.).
Examples of activations may include:
• An active violence incident, such as an active attacker
• A tornado warning for the county
• A major hazardous material spill
• An emergency reduction in operations.
Localized incidents within a building (such as a small fire,
hazardous material spill in a lab or non-confirmed bomb threat)
probably will not require a mass notification.
The emergency message content will contain pre-scripted brief
messages or tailored content developed in consultation with
DPSS leadership. The message will be sent by DPSS. This
information will be shared to help the public take action for their
safety, unless, in the professional judgment of DPSS leadership,
issuing a notification will compromise efforts to assist a victim or
to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
Follow-up information, including an “all-clear” message, will be
disseminated as appropriate, except for an expired weather
warning.
As a large multi-campus system, we require more than a single
mode of notification in an emergency. UM Emergency Alert adds
to the array of communication methods used during campus
emergencies, such as building alarms and public address
announcements. However, the UM Emer
gency Alerts are issued
campus-wide, not to smaller segments of the community.
In order to receive urgent notification alert messages, faculty,
staff and students may register (via Wolverine Access) telephone
or cell phone numbers and a device to receive text messages.
The University automatically will register all faculty, staff and
student umich email addresses. Additionally, messages can be
received by downloading the Michigan app or DPSS app.
Timely Warnings
When a crime is reported to law enforcement or a Campus
Security Authority, either on or off campus, that in the judgement
of the commanders of U-M DPSS constitutes an ongoing or
continuing threat to the University community, a campus-wide
“Crime Alert” will be issued to serve as a timely warning and to
aid in the prevention of similar crimes. The UMPD Chief or
designee and Public Information Officers will develop the content
of the warning. Victim’s names will never be disclosed in the
alerts or to media. Crime alerts likely will not be issued when the
release of such information would compromise an investigation
or when the report is made after considerable delay, such as
seven or more days.
A copy of the crime alert will be posted on the DPSS website
(dpss.umich.edu) and emailed to all students, faculty and staff.
Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should
report the circumstances to DPSS by telephone (734) 763-1131
or in person at the Campus Safety Services Building at 1239
Kipke Dr., east of Crisler Center.
Other Communication Methods
In addition to the UM Emergency Alert system and crime alerts,
DPSS may employ a variety of communication methods to inform
building occupants or a larger portion of campus about imminent
safety threats. Communication methods will be employed based
on a number of factors that will be evaluated for each incident,
such as the nature and extent of the threat, the technology
available in that building or area, the time of day, etc. Other
communication methods may include use of the city’s outdoor
warning sirens, public address systems, fire alarm systems,
digital signage, handheld or vehicle-mounted public address
device, portable radios, mass media, door-to-door notification
and social media. Usually a summary of an incident will be
posted on the DPSS website as well (dpss.umich.edu).
Emergency Operations Plan
Emergency procedures, including evacuation and shelter-in-place
instructions, are posted on the DPSS Emergency Management
website at https://dpss.umich.edu/content/emergency-
preparedness/.
Emergency procedure posters with basic instructions are posted
in classrooms, employee lounges, hallways and other high traffic
areas around campus. Building-specific evacuation maps are
posted in strategic locations in occupied campus buildings.
Students, faculty and staff with questions about emergency
procedures in their building should check with their facility
manager or contact DPSS Emergency Management at
(734) 763-8391.
Emergency preparedness plans are exercised at minimum each
year. These exercises could be announced or unannounced drills
or tabletop, functional or full-scale exercises. The following drills
and exercises were conducted in 2017.
- City of Ann Arbor Barton Dam Failure - October
- Michigan Stadium Vehicle Borne Attack - August
- College of Engineering Dean’s Cabinet Protesting - October

and run away if you are fearful of attack.
• Call 9-1-1 for police assistance, or use an emergency blue light phone.
• Call SAPAC (734) 936-3333 for support and assistance.
- University Health Services Notification Drill – August
A minimum of one fire drill per academic year is conducted in
each residence hall. The UM Emergency Alert system is tested
once each semester. Additionally, emergency response training
presentations by DPSS staff are available for staff and faculty
meetings.
Missing Student Notification protocol
During student move-in, on-campus residents are required to fill
out their emergency information cards. These cards also provide
residents with the ability to provide a confidential contact (a
person to be called if they are believed to be missing). The
information on the card also informs the residents that if they are
under the age of 18 and are missing, police will contact their
parent or legal guardian, unless they are deemed an emancipated
minor. The information is maintained at the building level and
available to professional Housing staff and police, for purposes of
pursuing a missing persons investigation.
If someone has concern that a student resident is missing, this
concern should be reported to a University Housing professional
staff member. DPSS in collaboration with Residence Education
and other Housing partners will conduct a preliminary
investigation in order to verify the situation, and will obtain
information around circumstances that relate to the student in
question. If preliminary investigations are unsuccessful in locating
the student and/or show cause for concern, DPSS will make
notification to the confidential contact designated by the student,
if the student is deemed missing through investigative efforts.
That contact will be made within 24 hours of that determination.
HATE CRiME
A hate crime, generally, refers to a crime committed not out of
animosity toward a victim as an individual, but out of hostility
toward the group to which the victim belongs. Hate crime is the
violence of intolerance and bigotry, intended to hurt and
intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national
origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
Reporting Bias incidents
The University of Michigan is committed to the success of all our
students, staff and faculty. By working to create an environment
that values and celebrates our diverse community and fosters
respect for every individual, you can help ensure that all persons
can perform up to their full potential.
If you witness or experience conduct that discriminates,
stereotypes, excludes, harasses or harms anyone in our
community based on their identity (such as race, color, ethnicity,
national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual
orientation, disability, age or religion) please report it to the
University by calling (734) 615-BIAS (2427) or online at
urespect.umich.edu.
If you believe you have experienced a hate crime, you may report
it directly to the U-M DPSS (on campus) at (734) 763-1131 or the
Ann Arbor Police (off campus) at (734) 994-2911.
If you are not sure you have experienced a hate crime and would
like to discuss the incident, please call (734) 615-BIAS (2427).
iNDECENT ExPOSURE
Indecent exposure is a form of sexual exploitation and is a
serious offense. Often the assailant is someone who perpetrates
repeatedly in the same location.

For more information on UHS, see page 38.
Handling Alcohol Emergencies
Alcohol or other drug overdoses can result in abnormal behavior,
unconsciousness or even death. Know the signs of an alcohol
emergency and know what to do.
What you need to do:
Don't assume a person will sleep it off! People may pass out
before all the alcohol or other drugs reach the brain. The heart
and lungs can slow to the point of stopping. Do not use cold
water or caffeine to attempt to wake the person up. Do not force
food or exercise on him/her.
20 • ASR & AFSR • 2018-19
Stay with the person. Turn and keep the person on his/her side
to prevent choking on vomit.
Call 9-1-1 immediately if the person:
• Is unconscious or semi-conscious (does not respond when you
shake, shout at, pinch or prod him/her)
• Has skin that is pale, bluish (especially around the lips and
fingernails), cold or clammy
• Has slow, irregular or shallow breathing (8 or fewer
breaths/minute)
• Used alcohol with other drugs (especially depressants like
Oxycontin or Xanax)
• When in doubt, call 9-1-1.
Medical Amnesty
Medical amnesty helps ensure that minors at medical risk as a
result of alcohol intoxication will receive prompt and appropriate
medical attention. It removes perceived barriers to seeking help.
Michigan law continues to prohibit a minor from purchasing,
consuming, or possessing, or attempting to purchase, consume,
or possess, alcoholic liquor and from having any bodily alcohol
content.
A minor (under the age of 21) will be exempt from prosecution as
follows:
• A minor who, after consuming alcohol, voluntarily presented
himself or herself to a health facility or agency for treatment or
observation, including medical examination and treatment for
any condition as a result of sexual assault (as defined in
Michigan law).
• Any minor who accompanied another minor who, after
consuming alcohol, voluntarily presented himself or herself to a
health facility or agency for treatment or observation, including
medical examination and treatment for any condition as a
result of sexual assault (as defined in Michigan law).
• Any minor who initiated contact with law enforcement or
emergency medical services personnel for the purpose of
obtaining medical assistance in connection with a legitimate
health care concern.
For more information on alcohol and other drugs, visit
uhs.umich.edu/aod
Handling Hazardous Material Emergencies
Chemical, Radioactive, and Biohazard Materials
The most important thing you can do to help in a hazardous
material emergency is be prepared. As part of your routine
operation, you should know the hazards associated with the
materials that you work with and what immediate steps to take if
you or a co-worker are exposed. you also should know the
locations of fire extinguishers, first aid kits, emergency eye wash
stations and showers.
The most important thing to do in an emergency is call 9-1-1 as
soon as possible and provide the communications officer with as
much information as you can.
• Exact location of the incident and its surroundings (i.e., storm
drains).
• Name of the material spilled and the amount.
• Report any injuries.
• Report any noticeable release into the environment.
• Provide a safe location where you can meet with emergency
crews.
For small spills in your work area, perform cleanup if:
• you have r
eceived appropriate training for the materials
involved.
• you have access to the necessary personal pr
otective
equipment.
• you have access to the necessary equipment to clean up the
materials.
If you have been contaminated, remain at your location if it is safe
to do so. Minimize your movement to avoid spreading
contamination.
For additional information consult U-M’s Hazardous Materials
Management group in Environment, Health and Safety at
(734) 763-4568. By being prepared and knowing what actions
to take in an emergency, you can make your work area a safer
place!
PROPERTy SAFETy
Laptop Computer & Bicycle Registration
Laptops, other portable electronic devices, and bicycles are easy
targets for theft. In addition to the cost of replacement, they often
have personal information and intellectual property that can be
difficult or impossible to recover and protect. The University of
Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security offers a free
Laptop, Personal Electronic, and Bicycle Registration Program to
members of the campus community to deter theft and avoid the
consequences or assist in the recovery of stolen property.
Once you register your information, you'll receive two stickers to
place on your property. These stickers will help serve as a theft
deterrent. Additionally, if your property is found or recovered, the
registration record will help police return your property to you.
The program is intended for the University community. Visit the
U-M DPSS website (www
.dpss.umich.edu) for more details.

WORKPLACE ViOLENCE
AND THREATS
The University is committed to maintaining an environment that is
safe and free from violence and will not tolerate violent and
threatening behavior. All University community members share
this responsibility and are expected to maintain a safe and secure
climate through behavior that does not involve acts of violence,
threats or aggression as outlined in the U-M Standard Practice
Guide (spg.umich.edu/policy/601.18).
Acts of violence and aggression include verbal or physical
actions that create fear or apprehension of bodily harm or
threaten the safety of a supervisor, co-worker, faculty member,
student, patient, member of the general public or the University
community at large. Examples of such behavior include on or off
duty or off premises acts that adversely affect the University:
• Any act which is physically assaulting
• Behavior or actions that would be interpreted by a reasonable
person as carrying a potential for violence and/or acts of
aggression
• Any act that threatens harm to another person or damage to
property
• Domestic violence
• Stalking (including electronic stalking)
Acts of violence cannot be predicted with absolute certainty,
although we can minimize the risk to everyone when behaviors
that are observed are reported to appropriate authorities. Often
threats or acts of aggression escalate to a level of violence when
there is poor communication with a person and that person
cannot cope under the stress of confrontation.
When interacting with a potentially aggressive or violent person,
be aware of your reactions, report all behaviors to others, and
follow these suggested guidelines:
• Remain calm, speak in a low voice.
• Don’t argue or agree with distortions.
• Let them know of consequences…“I’ll call the police if you
don’t sit down and stop yelling… I can’t help you if you don’t
calm down.”
• Avoid invasion of “personal space;” keep a safe distance of 3-6
feet; place barriers between you and the subject.
• Treat people with respect regardless of their behavior and
avoid being judgmental.
• Do not make promises that you cannot fulfill.
• If the person has an appeal to a higher authority, then so inform
them.
• Report all behaviors to appropriate authorities or UMPD at
“9-1-1.”
If the behavior reaches the point of violence then:
• Remain calm. Dealing with the person calmly and confidently
will help reduce further communication problems.
• Call “9-1-1.” If you cannot call yourself, have someone else call
for you.
• Do not try to physically force a person to leave.
• If violent behavior is occurring, escape, hide if not already
seen, or cover up.
• Position yourself, if possible, so that an exit route is readily
accessible.
• Never attempt to disarm or accept a weapon from the person
in question.
• Don’t argue, threaten, or block their exit.
Any member of the University community, contractor, or visitor
can report a violation and seek assistance. In addition,
employees in positions of authority (including deans, directors,
chairs, supervisors, faculty, graduate student instructors,
coaches or others who oversee employees or students) have an
obligation to contact the appropriate resources if they see or are
informed of violence or threats of violence. Resources include:
• The U-M Division of Public Safety and Security provides
consultation and preventive services as well as an immediate
law enforcement response.
• The Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) manages the
community’s response to allegations of Statement of Student
Rights and Responsibilities violations. Any member of the
Michigan community may submit a request for services. OSCR
will provide information, assistance and support to all
community members involved in the complaint process.
• Academic and Staff HR Services addresses violence, or threats
of violence, that involves a faculty or staff member. Members of
the University community, contractors and visitors concerned
about such violence should report to the appropriate manager
and/or to Academic and Staff HR Services. Supervisors
receiving such reports should contact Academic and Staff HR
Services.
Seeking Confidential Counseling
Faculty and staff may contact the Faculty and Staff Counseling
and Consultation Office (FASCCO) for any personal concerns
related to violence or aggressive behavior.
Students may seek services from Student Life Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS).
Faculty, staff and students may contact the Sexual Assault and
Prevention Awareness Program (SAPAC) in cases of sexual
assault, domestic or dating violence or stalking.

AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE
(ATM) SAFETY
ATMs are conveniently located all around
Ann Arbor and some areas of the campus.
You can help to protect yourself and your property
by following these easy tips:
• Choose a well-lit ATM and have someone with
you when using the machine at night.
• Be ready. Have your card handy, but not
necessarily in plain view.
• Stand directly in front of the machine so that no
one can see you enter your Personal
Identification Number (PIN).
• Cancel your transaction and return later if
anything seems suspicious.
• Pocket your cash immediately and count it
later.
• If you lose your ATM card, report it immediately
to your financial institution.
BICYCLE SAFETY
To cycle safely, remember to:
• Ride with the traffic or use bike paths
whenever possible.
• Follow same driving laws as motor vehicles.
• Use reflectors, reflective tape, or other similar
devices on bikes or on your clothing.
• Lights are required at night.
Bicycles are attractive targets for thieves and
vandals. The following simple but effective tips
can make your bike a less attractive target for
crime:
• Lock it up: Use a U-Lock bike lock.
• Lock your bike to a bike rack
For your own personal use, record the identifying
characteristics and the serial number of your bike,
and keep the information in a safe place.
Register your bicycle with the U-M DPSS
(dpss.umich.edu).
COMPUTER AND IDENTITY
INFORMATION SAFETY
Protect your computer and mobile devices:
• Register your electronics with the U-M DPSS
(dpss.umich.edu) to assist in recovering lost or
stolen devices
• Use a password or PIN to lock portable devices
• Never leave them unattended
Protect yourself and your information online:
• Use up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware
software available at no cost to the
U-M community at
safecomputing.umich.edu/antivirus.
• Use passwords wisely:
▪ Never use your UMICH Kerberos password
(the one you use for Wolverine Access) for
non-U-M accounts
▪ Use a different strong password for each
online account
▪ Never share your password with others
▪ Never use another person’s password
• Be wary of peer-to-peer file sharing, which can
open your computer to infection. It also can
make you vulnerable to costly legal problems.

drive on it until you reach a safe, well-lit area.
• When parking your vehicle at night, select a
spot that is well lit.
• Always keep car doors locked.
FIRE SAFETY
• If you see smoke or fire, activate the fire alarm
and call 9-1-1 from a safe location.
• Familiarize yourself with locations of fire alarm
pull stations, fire extinguishers, stairways and
emergency exits in your building(s). Always
identify two means of egress from your
location.
• If the building’s fire alarm sounds, immediately
evacuate via the nearest exit, encouraging
those around you to evacuate as well.

Safety and Risk Reduction Techniques
The following prevention tips are offered to help insure personal safety and the safety of one’s belongings.
2018-19 • ASR & AFSR • 23
OBSCENE PHONE CALLS
• Make a police report. Traps can be put on your
phone after a police report has been made.
• Change your phone number.
• If they leave an obscene message on your
phone voicemail/answering machine, save the
recording so the police can make a copy.
OFFICE, CLASS-ROOM, OR
LABORATORY SAFETY
• Avoid working or studying alone in a building at
night. If you must work late, let somebody you
trust know where you are and when you will be
done.
• Avoid using stairs in remote sections of a
building.
• Keep your valuables in a locked cabinet or
drawer. Never leave them in, on top of, or
underneath a desk or hanging on a hook.
• While in class, the library, or the lab, keep
personal belongings in view.
OUTDOOR SAFETY
• Learn the locations of all campus blue light
emergency phones.
• Take advantage of nighttime transportation
services – see page 20.
• Walk on designated walkways that are well lit
and well traveled.
• Walk confidently and assertively. Be alert and
aware of your surroundings.
• Valuables should be carried close to the body.
• Do not run or jog alone, especially at night.
• Do not ever hitchhike.
• Avoid shortcuts through unlit areas.
• If you are followed by someone in a car, call
9-1-1 from your cell phone or nearest blue light
phone, and head to a populated area.
ROBBERY
The most important thing you can do during a
robbery is to prevent, if possible, any violence.
Always assume that the robber is armed, even if
you can’t see a weapon, and act accordingly:
• Get it over with quickly. If you try to stall, the
robber may be more prone to violence.
• Do what the robber asks, but don’t volunteer to
do anything more.
• Don’t fight or try any impulsive heroics; the risk
is great if the robber is armed.
• If the robber attempts to get you to move to a
new location, DO NOT GO! Run if possible, fight
if you must, commit to your safety.
• Don’t chase the robber.
• Call 9-1-1 immediately.
STALKING
• Report all incidents to U-M DPSS.
• Explain how you were frightened, terrorized,
distressed, or threatened.
• Call SAPAC (734) 936-3333 for support and
assistance.
• See the “Stalking Laws” on page 32 of this
book.
• Tell friends and family what is happening.
• Keep a log of stalker contacts or incidents.
• Consider the option of a personal protection
order.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
Since safety is everyone’s responsibility, it is
important for people to be aware of types of
behavior and actions which may signal criminal
activities. In the University setting, these may
include:
• A person who seems to be wandering in the
hallways or lurking about the building.
• Any unusual or suspicious noise that you can’t
explain, such as breaking glass, pounding,
yelling or screaming.
• Vehicles moving slowly without lights or to no
apparent destination.
• A stranger sitting in a vehicle for an extended
period of time for no apparent reason.
• A person hanging around residence hall
windows or parking lots.
• Persons removing property from a building late
at night.
Remember, if you are in doubt, contact U-M DPSS.
They will be able to assist you in determining
whether or not there is cause for alarm and if it is
necessary to respond.
DPSS suggests the following approach to
reporting suspicious activity on campus.
• Remain calm. Keep away from the suspicious
person(s) or activity. Call 9-1-1 or pick up a
campus blue light emergency phone or a
carport phone.
• Be as descriptive as you can.
• Advise whether the crime is in progress or has
already been committed. If you see a crime in
progress, report it IMMEDIATELY.

UNiVERSiTy POLiCiES
U-M Policy and Procedures on Student
Sexual and gender
-based Misconduct and
Other Forms of interpersonal V
iolence
In 2015-16, the University revised the existing Student Sexual
Misconduct Policy. The new policy and procedures has been re-
named U-M Policy and Procedures on Student Sexual and
Gender-based Misconduct and Other Forms of Interpersonal
Violence and took effect July 1, 2016. It is intended to address
how the University will respond to allegations of specific
misconduct and violence as well as rights, options and resources
for those individuals who wish to report incidents and those who
are accused. Some highlights of the new policy and procedures
are below. Resource options can be found earlier in this Report
on pages 13-17. The full policy and procedures can be accessed
at https://studentsexualmisconductpolicy.umich.edu
POLiCy ST
ATEMENT
The University prohibits Sexual Assault, Sexual and Gender-
Based Harassment, Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking,
Retaliation, and Violation of Interim Measures (collectively
Prohibited Conduct). Prohibited Conduct is expressly forbidden
and will not be tolerated at the University. It may also violate
federal and state law.
The University adopts this Policy and Procedures on Student
Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct and Other Forms of
Interpersonal Violence with a commitment to: (1) eliminating,
preventing, and addressing the effects of Prohibited Conduct; (2)
fostering an environment where all individuals are well-informed
and supported in reporting Prohibited Conduct; (3) providing a
fair and impartial process for all parties; and (4) identifying the
standards by which violations of this Policy will be evaluated and
disciplinary action may be imposed. University students who
violate this Policy may face disciplinary action up to and including
expulsion.
The Policy and Procedures sets forth how the University will
proceed once it is made aware of possible Prohibited Conduct in
keeping with our institutional values and to meet our legal
obligations under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
(“Title IX”); the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (“Clery Act”), as
amended by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of
2013 (“VAWA”); and other applicable law.
TO WHOM THiS POLiCy AND PROCEDURES APPLy
The Policy and Procedures apply to a University student or to a
participant in any University-related program or activity. For
purposes of this Policy, the individual who is reported to have
experienced Prohibited Conduct, regardless of whether that
individual makes a report or participates in the review of that
report by the University, and regardless of whether that individual
is a University student, is referred to as the Claimant. The
individual who is reported to have engaged in Prohibited Conduct
is referred to as the Respondent.
The University has jurisdiction over a Respondent whenever the
Prohibited Conduct occurs:
• On campus, including the University of Michigan Health
System; or
• Off campus, including online or electronic conduct, if the
conduct occurs:
䡲 In connection with a University-related program or activity,
including University-sponsored study abroad, research or
internship programs;
䡲 In a manner that may pose a serious threat of harm to any
member(s) of the University community; or
䡲 In a manner that may have the effect of creating a hostile
environment for any member(s) of the University
community.
The specific procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving
Prohibited Conduct are based upon the nature of the
Respondent’s relationship to the University (student, employee,
or Third Party). Where the Respondent is a student, the
procedures for responding to reports of Prohibited Conducted
committed by students are detailed.
The University wants every student who may have experienced
harm to get the support and information they need, regardless of
whether they would like to move forward with a report of potential
policy violations or criminal conduct to campus officials or to
police.
SUPPORTiVE AND PROTECTiVE MEASURES (ALSO KNOWN
COLLECTiVELy AS iNTERiM MEASURES)
Supportive and Protective Measures (collectively Interim
Measures) are those services, accommodations, and other
assistance the University puts in place after receiving notice of
Prohibited Conduct, but before any final outcomes (investigatory,
disciplinary, or remedial) have been determined.
The University will implement reasonably available Interim
Measures to protect a Claimant and facilitate the Claimant’s
continued access to University employment or educational
programs and activities. Interim Measures may be both
Supportive and Protective Measures.
Supportive Measures are measures typically implemented for
Claimants and are designed to address a Claimant’s safety, well-
being, and continued access to educational opportunities.
Supportive Measures are available regardless of whether the
person who requests a measure makes a report to the University
or to law enforcement; whether the person participates in any
investigation; or whether the University or law enforcement
investigates a report that has been submitted. The University may
also implement Supportive Measures for Respondents,
witnesses, and other members of the University community.
Supportive Measures are voluntary and may be modified or
discontinued at any time at the request of the individual.
Supportive Measures may include:
• Academic support services and accommodations, including
the ability to reschedule exams and assignments, transfer
course sections, or withdraw from courses without penalty;
• An escort to ensure safe movement between classes and
5. University Policies
and State Laws

activities; on-campus counseling services and/or assistance
in connecting to community-based counseling services;
• On-campus medical services and/or assistance in connecting
to community-based medical services;
• No contact directives (to instruct an individual to stop all
attempts at communication or other interaction with another
individual);
• Housing assignment or contract modifications (for University
Housing) or assistance with residence modification if living
off-campus;
• Work schedule or job assignment modifications (for University
employment); or
• Assistance with obtaining personal protective orders.
Protective Measures are measures that typically involve action
against a Respondent by the University and failure to comply with
these measures may result in a separate Policy violation under
this Policy. Protective Measures are only available if the person
requesting the Measures makes a report to the University and are
instituted following the initiation of a University investigation and
prior to a determination of the final outcome. The nature of the
Protective Measures is based upon the facts reasonably available
at the time of the decision to implement the Protective Measures.
Implementation of Protective Measures usually occurs within one
to two days of the Respondent being notified that a Formal
Resolution Process has been initiated.
Protective Measures may include:
• Limiting an individual's access to certain University facilities
or activities;
• Academic schedule modifications (typically to separate
Claimant and Respondent);
• Work schedule or job assignment modifications including
suspending employment with or without pay (for University
positions);
• Imposing an interim suspension.
Protective Measures may also be appropriate for witnesses and
other members of the University community, following the
initiation of an investigation.
Implementation of Supportive or Protective Measures should not
be taken to suggest that the University has made any decision
about the merits of the report.
The University will keep private any Supportive or Protective
Measures provided under this Policy to the extent practicable,
and will promptly address any Violation of Protective Measures
under this Policy and Procedures.
PROHiBiTED CONDUCT
Conduct under this Policy is prohibited regardless of the sex,
sexual orientation and/or gender identity or expression of the
Claimant or Respondent. Prohibited Conduct includes the
following specifically defined forms of behavior: Sexual or
Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Assault, Intimate Partner
Violence, Stalking, Retaliation, and Violation of Interim Measures.
Sexual Assault is touching of a sexual nature, including: oral-
genital contact, anal intercourse, or vaginal intercourse; anal, oral
or vaginal penetration with an object; or other Sexual Contact
that occurs without Consent.
Consent is a clear and unambiguous agreement, expressed
outwardly through mutually understandable words or actions, to
engage in a particular activity. Consent must be voluntarily given
and cannot be obtained through coercion or force.
UNiVERSiTy RESOLUTiON
The University uses two processes to resolve reports of
Prohibited Conduct under this Policy: (1) Formal Resolution,
which involves an investigation and, if applicable, an appeal and
sanctions, and (2) Alternative Resolution, which includes informal
or restorative options for resolving reports of Prohibited Conduct.
The period from commencement of an investigation, which
begins with the notice of an investigation to the Respondent,
through resolution (finding and sanction, if any) typically should
not exceed sixty (60) calendar days. This time frame may be
extended for good cause.
Best efforts will be made to complete the process in a timely
manner by balancing principles of thoroughness, fairness, and
promptness.
SANCTiONS
The Office of Student Conflict Resolution will facilitate the
sanctioning process outlined in this Policy upon receipt of the
Investigative Report.
The list of potential sanctions or interventions includes one or
more of the following:
Restitution
Restriction from Employment at the University
Class/Workshop/Training/Program Attendance
Educational Project
University Housing Transfer or Removal
Removal from Specific Courses or Activities
No Contact
Suspension
Expulsion
Transcript notation, hold, and/or notification to other institutions
Withholding, delaying, or revoking the conferral of the degree
Student-employees who are reported to have engaged in
Prohibited Conduct in their employment capacity will continue to
be subject to review under the University’s Sexual Harassment
Policy (SPG 201.89-0) rather than under this Policy.
The Office for Student Conflict Resolution will provide the written
notice of the sanction to the Claimant and Respondent
simultaneously.
APPEALS OF FiNDiNgS OR SANCTiONS
Both a Claimant and Respondent may appeal the Investigator’s
finding or may appeal the sanctions determined by the
Sanctioning Board. The appeal will be conducted in an impartial
manner and equivalent rights will be provided to both parties
throughout the process.
To appeal the finding or the sanctions, a party must submit a
written request to Office of Student Conflict Resolution within
seven (7) calendar days of the date of the notice of outcome or
sanctions, whichever is relevant.
28 • ASR & AFSR • 2018-19
Sexual Harassment by Faculty or Staff
The University policy against sexual harassment by faculty or
staff and the procedures to follow when filing a complaint of such
activity may be found in the University’s Standard Practice Guide
(SPG) 201.89. The complete SPG can be found at
www.spg.umich.edu.
Corrective action could include a requirement not to repeat or
continue the harassing or retaliatory conduct, a reprimand, denial
of a merit pay increase, reassignment, suspension and
termination.
University of Michigan
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD)
Policy for Students, Faculty and Staff
Below are exerpts from the revised policy (August 2016).
The complete policy can be found at www.alcohol-drug-
policy.umich.edu.
intr
oduction
The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is committed to providing a
safe, healthy learning community for all its members. The
University recognizes that the improper and excessive use of
alcohol and other drugs may interfere with the University's
mission by negatively affecting the health and safety of students,
faculty and staff. Problems such as vandalism, assault,
harassment, sexual misconduct, and disruption of sleep and
study space increase in relation to misuse. It is due to the harm
caused by excessive and illegal use that the University has a
vested interest in establishing policies to prohibit unlawful
behavior and sanctions to address policy violations by members
of the U-M community.
Under the Drug-Free Workplace Act and the Drug-Free
Schools and Communities Act, the University is required to
have an alcohol and other drug policy and distribute this policy
annually to all employees and students. This Policy must outline
the University's prevention, education and intervention efforts,
and consequences that may be applied by both the University
and external authorities for policy violations. The law also
requires that individuals be notified of possible health risks
associated with the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs,
and sources of assistance for problems that may arise as a result
of use.
U-M Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy
All members of the campus community also are governed by
laws, regulations and ordinances established by the state and
local municipalities, and will be held accountable by law
enforcement representatives of those entities for any illegal
activity. It is the responsibility of all campus members to be aware
of these laws.
Michigan law prohibits the dispensing, selling or supplying of
drugs or alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years old.
Employees, students, faculty and campus visitors may not
unlawfully manufacture, consume, possess, sell, distribute,
transfer or be under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs or
controlled substances on University property, while driving a
University vehicle or while otherwise engaged in University
business. The only exception to this Policy is that individuals of
legal age may consume alcohol on University property in a
manner consistent with University policy and state of Michigan
law. University property, as defined in this Policy, includes all
buildings and land owned, leased, or used by the University, and
motor vehicles operated by employees, including personal motor
vehicles, when used in connection with work performed for or on
behalf of the University. The University prohibits the storage of
consumable alcohol on University property except (a) as
specifically allowed in licensed locations or (b) in private
residences if the storage of consumable alcohol is expressly
permitted by the building use rules applicable for the location of
the residence.
If alcohol is to be served at any event/meeting outside one of the
licensed facilities on campus (Michigan League, Michigan Union,
Pierpont Commons, Oxford Conference Center, Business
Executive Residence, and Inglis House), the General Counsel's
frequently asked questions web page should be referenced for
proper handling: http://www.ogc.umich.edu/faq_alcohol.html
Any person taking prescription drugs or over-the-counter
medication is personally responsible for ensuring that while
taking such drugs or medications, they are not a safety risk to
themselves and others while on University property, while driving
a University or privately owned vehicle, or while otherwise
engaged in University business. It is illegal to misuse prescription
medication, i.e. continue to use medication when the prescription
is no longer valid, use prescribed drugs contrary to the
prescription, and give or sell prescribed drugs to another person.
Misusing prescription drugs can result in conviction with jail time.
The University of Michigan is a smoke-free campus. Electronic
cigarettes, e-cigarettes, electronic nicotine delivery systems or
any other lit smoking device (a) are expressly prohibited on the
premises of the U-M Health System, University of Michigan
Dental School and the University Health Service and in the
seated locations of Michigan Stadium and (b) are prohibited in
University Housing facilities as set forth in the Community Living
at Michigan guidelines. Please refer to
http://www.hr.umich.edu/smokefree/ for more information.
U-M Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Strategies
The University of Michigan uses evidenced-based strategic
interventions, collaboration, innovation and the incorporation of
the wellness dimensions to reduce harmful consequences of
alcohol and other drug use by:
• Providing education and awareness activities.
• Offering substance-free social, extracurricular, and public
service options.
• Creating a health-promoting normative environment.
• Restricting the marketing and promotion of alcohol and other
drugs.
• Limiting availability of alcohol and other drugs.
• Developing and enforcing campus policies and enforcing laws
to address high-risk and illegal alcohol and other drug use.
• Providing early intervention and referral for treatment.
Parent-Family Communication Program
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) governs
the release of and access to student education records. Section
952 of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of
1965 clarified that institutions of higher education are allowed
(but not required) to notify parents if a student under the age of
21 at the time of notification commits a disciplinary violation
involving alcohol or a controlled substance.
Because of the health and safety risk inherent in alcohol and
other drug misuse, U-M notifies parents/family members of
first-year students under the age of 21:
• If a student has committed an AOD violation accompanied by
other serious behavior such as needing medical attention,
significant property damage or driving under the influence.
• If a student has had an AOD incident that resulted in a
2018-19 • ASR & AFSR • 29
transport to the hospital or jail.
• If a student has had more than one AOD-related violation of the
University of Michigan Alcohol and Other Drug Policy.
Please refer to https://www.uhs.umich.edu/parent-communication
for more information.
For more detailed information on all the U-M alcohol and other
drug prevention strategies contact the Director of Wolverine
Wellness at 734-615-7694.
University Sanctions — U-M Ann Arbor Campus
The use or abuse of alcohol and other drugs also increases the
risks for behavioral and social problems such as negative effects
on academic work performance; conflicts with co-workers,
classmates, family, friends and others; conduct problems
resulting in disciplinary action, including loss of employment or
dismissal from an academic program; and legal problems
resulting in ticketing, fines and imprisonment.
The laws of the state of Michigan and University of Michigan's
policies prohibit the consumption or possession for personal
consumption of alcoholic beverages by persons under the age of
21 years and purchase of tobacco products under the age of 18.
Further, Michigan laws and University policies prohibit the sale,
service or giving of alcoholic beverages to persons under the age
of 21. University of Michigan's policies, local ordinances and
laws, state laws and federal laws also prohibit the unlawful
possession, use and/or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol.
Violation of University policies will be subject to campus
disciplinary review and action, as follows:
• Students: The University community has established
expectations for nonacademic student conduct under the
Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities (The
Statement). The Statement specifically addresses the illicit use
of alcohol and other drugs as follows,
“The following behaviors contradict the values of the University
community and are subject to action under this Statement:
o Illegally possessing or using alcohol
o Illegally distributing, manufacturing, or selling alcohol
o Illegally possessing or using drugs
o Illegally distributing, manufacturing, or selling drugs”
The Statement is administered by the Office of Student Conflict
Resolution (OSCR). OSCR is charged with facilitating the
resolution process used to determine responsibility. OSCR staff
work with parties to determine appropriate educational measures
and sanctions. These measures cover a wide range of
educational assignments and obligations, including but not
limited to suspension and expulsion from the institution. OSCR
may delegate portions of the Conduct Process to other units of
the University who have a vested interest in the conduct of
smaller student communities (e.g. University Housing, Athletic
Department).
Academic units of the University also may have written policies
concerning management of alcohol use and their response to the
illicit use of alcohol and other drugs in the academic setting.
Students are expected to know and understand these additional
policies and abide by them.
• Student Organizations: Policy violations by recognized student
organizations of the Student Organization Code of Conduct,
which includes the Alcohol and Other Drug Policy, will be
handled through the Student Organization Advancement and
Recognition (SOAR) process. This process is administered
through the Center for Campus Involvement. Specific violations
of the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council
(MGC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), or Panhellenic
Association (Panhel) by-laws by an affiliated fraternity or
sorority will be heard through the Greek Activities Review Panel
(GARP).
• Staff and Faculty: Sanctions for violations by faculty and staff
are governed by policies within individual departments and any
applicable guidelines set by University regulations (Regents'
Bylaw 5.09, Standard Practice Guide 201.12), appropriate
collective bargaining agreements, and other applicable policies
or procedures. Appropriate sanctions may include: verbal or
written warnings, a mandated rehabilitation program,
probation, suspension, and termination. In each case, there are
likely to be different circumstances that are relevant for
understanding the situation and determining the appropriate
sanction.
External Sanctions
Violations of laws and ordinances may result in misdemeanor or
felony convictions accompanied by the imposition of legal
sanctions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Fines as determined under local, state, or federal laws;
• Imprisonment, including up to life imprisonment, for
possession or trafficking in drugs such as heroin, cocaine,
marijuana and prescription drugs;
• Forfeiture of personal and real property;
• Denial of federal benefits such as grants, contracts and student
loans;
• Loss of driving privileges;
• Required attendance at substance abuse education or
treatment programs.
A full description of federal sanctions for drug felonies can be
found at: http://www.justice.gov/dea/druginfo/ftp3.shtml. This
section is not intended as legal advice; consult with an attorney
regarding you specific legal issues. For more information, please
contact Student Legal Services at 734-763-9920 or visit
http://studentlegalservices.umich.edu/ for more information.
Additional sections of the Policy (www.alcohol-drug-
policy.umich.edu) include:
• Health risks
• Counseling and treatment programs
• U-M AOD Policy and student organizations
• Employee reporting requirement
• Alcohol marketing standards
• Distribution of policy
• Review of University prevention program and policy

Statement of Student Rights
and Responsibilities
The current Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities
became effective July 1, 2016. It outlines 20 violations of
University values. The complete Statement can be found at
https://oscr.umich.edu/statement
i. introduction
The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (the University) is
dedicated to supporting and maintaining a scholarly
community. As its central purpose, this community promotes
intellectual inquiry through vigorous discourse. Values which
undergird this purpose include civility, dignity, diversity,
education, equality, freedom, honesty, and safety.
When students choose to accept admission to the University,
they accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in
the University’s academic and social community. As members
of the University community, students are expected to uphold
its previously stated values by maintaining a high standard of
conduct. Because the University establishes high standards
for membership, its standards of conduct, while falling within
the limits of the law, may exceed federal, state, or local
requirements.
Within the University, entities (such as schools and colleges;
campus, professional, and student organizations) have
developed policies that outline standards of conduct
governing their constituents and that sometimes provide
procedures for sanctioning violations of those standards. This
Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities (the
Statement) does not replace those standards; nor does it
constrain the procedures or sanctions provided by those
policies. This Statement describes possible behaviors which
are inconsistent with the values of the University community; it
outlines procedures to respond to such behaviors; and it
suggests possible sanctions/interventions which are intended
to educate and to safeguard members of the University
community.

Access Control
Residence halls are secured 24 hours a day; all other campus
facilities have scheduled open hours which may vary at different
times of the year. Open hours are developed by the school,
college or department responsible for the facility. Notifications of
changes in these hours of operation must be forwarded to the
U-M DPSS by the person identified as being responsible for the
building.
During scheduled business hours, public areas of the University
are open to students, parents, employees, contractors, guests
and invitees. During non-business hours, access is permissible
by authorized persons possessing University identification and
legally issued keys or access cards. Persons not in possession of
a key or access card will not be allowed to remain unless
accompanied by an authorized person or written authorization
from the appropriate dean, director, or department head.
Keys and/or access-control cards are issued to individuals to
allow them to gain general access to their assigned areas. To
safeguard and protect the community, keys and access-control
cards should be kept on your person at all times or secured in a
locked container, drawer, etc. Never lend them out, and check
them daily to assure none are missing. Never duplicate a key.
Failure to follow these guidelines places the community at risk
Residence Hall Access Control
University Housing is a residential community safeguarded, in
part, by an access-control system that restricts entry to the
buildings and assigned space. Building residents and staff
working in each hall as well as others with required access, such
as a class or program, will have applicable access via their
MCards. Visitors may request access via a callbox at each main
entrance. The following provides an overview of protocols,
guidelines and understandings related to access control.
Housing staff requiring infrequent and non-recurring access may
contact the Building Facilities Manager, Housing Security or
Northwood Apartments (for apartments and rental properties
only) to provide entry to building rooms and selected areas.
Housing staff requiring frequent and/or recurring access to a
building may request assigned keys or an access-control card for
those rooms or areas. This may relate to: (1) a permanent
requirement; or (2) a temporary requirement for projects and
special assignments. In such cases, arrangements can be made
through Housing Security for keys/rings, and unit management is
responsible for assuring that they are handled according to the
guidelines and protocols outlined herein.
Non-Housing staff requiring infrequent and non-recurring access
may contact the Building Facilities Manager, Housing Security or
Northwood Apartments (for apartments and rental properties
only) to provide entry to rooms and selected areas. Non-Housing
staff requiring frequent and/or recurring access to a building
(varying from high frequency for a short period of time, such as
once per day for five days, to relatively low frequency for a long
period of time, such as once a week for several months) may
request keys or an access-control card for those rooms and
areas. Examples include members of other University
departments (such as Plant Operations and ITS), contractors
working on a project, and blanket-order service vendors. The
vendor or contractor will be accompanied by a security officer or
other regular Housing staff member when accessing occupied
student rooms or apartments in residence halls and Northwood

Security Considerations in Facility
Maintenance
A U-M environmental safety design review committee, including a
DPSS representative, meets regularly to develop short- and long-
term standards and recommendations for existing buildings,
landscaping, maintenance, and similar security issues, as well as
new facility design criteria to improve the safety of the campus
environment. Grounds crews routinely inspect shrubbery and
lighting. Lighting maintenance is a responsibility jointly shared by
the University and the city of Ann Arbor. Each light pole bears a
number to facilitate immediate reporting of faulty lighting to U-M
DPSS.
UNiVERSiTy REgULATiONS
The Regents of the University maintain local rules and regulations
in an Ordinance to Regulate Parking and Traffic, and to Regulate
the Use and Protection of the Buildings and Property of the
Regents of the University of Michigan. These regulations include,
among other topics, alcohol use and possession, disorderly
conduct, fire setting and possession of weapons. The Ordinance
is enforced by the U-M Police Department. A person who
violates the regulations is guilty of a misdemeanor or a civil
infraction, depending on the violation. The complete Ordinance
may be found at www.regents.umich.edu/ordinance.
Two sections of the Ordinance – Weapons (Article X) and Fire-
setting and False Alarms (Article XII Disorderly Conduct) – are
listed below.
Fire Setting and False Alarms
The University prohibits setting “any fire upon University property
or University buildings except in approved stoves or grills or as
otherwise permitted by University officials by a prior writing.” In
addition, it is violation of state law to knowingly or willfully
commit any or one of the following actions:
• to raise a false alarm of fire at any gathering or any public
place; or by telephone or in person,
• to ring any bell or operate any mechanical apparatus, electrical
apparatus, or combination thereof, for the purpose of creating
a false fire alarm.
Violation of the state law shall be regarded as a misdemeanor
and may result in imprisonment for not more than one year and a
fine in the amount of $500.00 or less.
In addition, these actions are a violation of the Statement of
Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Information about fire safety systems and rules in the residence
halls can be viewed at
www.housing.umich.edu//fire-safety
Weapons
The University prohibits the possession or discharge of any
firearm or other dangerous weapon as defined under Michigan
law, regardless of whether the individual has a concealed
weapons permit. In addition, any knife, sword or machete having
a blade longer than four inches is prohibited. In the case of a
knife with a mechanism to lock the blade in place when open,
longer than three inches is also prohibited. This prohibition
includes all of the Ann Arbor campus.
Exceptions to this Ordinance include:
• University employees who are authorized to possess and/or
use such a device pursuant to Standard Practice Guide 201.94;
• Law enforcement officers or legally established law
enforcement agencies;
• When someone possesses or uses such a device as part of a
military or similar uniform or costume in connection with a
public ceremony or parade or theatrical performance;
• When someone possesses or uses such a device in connection
with a regularly scheduled educational, recreational or training
program authorized by the University;
• When someone possesses or uses such a device for
recreational hunting on property which has been designated for
such activity by the University provided such possession and
use is in strict compliance with applicable law; or
• A written waiver is obtained from the Police Chief of the
University’s Police Department based on extraordinary
circumstances. Any such waiver may include certain
restrictions when the Director determines that such restrictions
are appropriate under the circumstances.
A person who violates the Ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction, punishable by imprisonment for not less
than ten days and no more than 60 days, or by fine of not more
than $50, or both.
STATE LAWS
State of Michigan laws can be found in the Michigan Compiled
Laws (MCL) and viewed at www.legislature.mi.gov
The following excerpts can be compared with the federal
definitions on page 10:
Sexual Assault – Criminal Sexual Conduct – MCL - § 750.520
“Sexual contact” includes the intentional touching of the victim’s
or actor’s intimate parts or the intentional touching of the clothing
covering the immediate area of the victim’s or actor’s intimate
parts, if that intentional touching can reasonably be construed as
being for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification, done for a
sexual purpose, or in a sexual manner for:
• Revenge.
• To inflict humiliation.
• Out of anger.
“Sexual penetration” means sexual intercourse, cunnilingus,
fellatio, anal intercourse, or any other intrusion, however slight, of
any part of a person’s body or of any object into the genital or
anal openings of another person’s body, but emission of semen is
not required.
• First Degree – MCL § 750.520b: felony punishable by
imprisonment for life.
• Second Degree – MCL § 750.520c: felony punishable by
imprisonment for not more than 15 years.
• Third Degree – MCL § 750.520d: felony punishable by
imprisonment for not more than 15 years.
• Fourth Degree – MCL § 750.520e: misdemeanor punishable
by imprisonment for not more than two years and/or $500 fine.
32 • ASR & AFSR • 2018-19
Consent
In Michigan, consent is not an element of criminal sexual conduct
that prosecutors are required to disprove beyond a reasonable
doubt. Rather, consent is an affirmative defense available for
defendants who are charged with committing criminal sexual
conduct under some of the provided-for circumstances. For
example, consent may be used to negate the elements of ‘force
or coercion’ under MCL 750.520b(1)(d)(ii); however
, it is not
available for criminal sexual conduct occurring “under
circumstances involving the commission of any other felony” as
provided in MCL 750.520b(1)(c). Michigan’s standard criminal jury
instructions state that:
(a) person consents to a sexual act by agreeing to it freely
and willingly, without being forced or coerced. It is not
necessary to show that the complainant resisted the
defendant to prove that this crime was committed. Nor is it
necessary to show that the complainant did anything to
lessen the damage to him/herself.
Therefore, consent is likely to be defined as a free and willing
agreement to engage in a sexual act, provided without force or
coercion, between individuals who are of sufficient age and are
not mentally incapable, mentally disabled, mentally incapacitated
or physically helpless.
Domestic Violence (includes dating violence) – MCL & 750.81
Domestic Violence = assault or assault and battery of:
• spouse or former spouse,
•
an individual whom they had a dating relationship,
•
an individual with whom they had a child in common, or
• a resident or former resident of their household.
“Dating relationship” means frequent, intimate associations
primarily characterized by the expectation of affectional
involvement. This term does not include a casual relationship or
an ordinary fraternization between two individuals in a business
or social context. Misdemeanor punishable by jail for not more
than 93 days and/or a $500 fine.
Aggravated Domestic Violence is same as above and inflicts
serious or aggravated injury. Misdemeanor punishable by
imprisonment for not more than one year and/or a $1,000 fine.
Stalking – MCL § 750.411h: A misdemeanor punishable by up
to one year in the county jail and $1,000.00 fine. This is defined
as two or more separate incidents of non-consenting contact
between stalker and victim. The acts must be done willfully, be
such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer emotional
distress, and to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated,
threatened, harassed, or molested.
Aggravated Stalking: A felony punishable by a sentence of up to
five years in prison and/or a $10,000.00 fine. Aggravated Stalking
is defined as a violation of a Personal Protection Order, bail,
probation condition, or a second offense. Stalking also is a
violation of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Sex Offender Registry
In accordance with state laws, the U-M Police Department
maintains a list of registered convicted sex offenders who reside
on campus.
A non-permanent resident of Michigan who is required to register
shall report her or his status within ten days in person to the U-M
Police Department, if any of the following occur:
• The individual is or becomes an employee, contractual
provider, employee of a contractual provider or volunteer with
the University of Michigan and her/his position will require that
s/he be present on the campus for 14 or more consecutive
days or 30 or more total days in a calendar year.
• The status described above is discontinued.
• The individual is or enrolls as a student with the University or
the individual discontinues that enrollment.
If the individual is a permanent resident of Michigan, s/he shall
report her or his status in person at the local law enforcement
agency having jurisdiction where her or his new residence is
located. If the individual resides on campus (student residence
halls and family housing units), then s/he must report her/his
status to UMPD. Persons residing on University property outside
of the Ann Arbor campus will be directed to the local police
agency that has overall jurisdiction.
The Sex Offender list is available for public view at the UMPD
(1239 Kipke Dr.). In addition, the public can access the State of
