University must report domestic violence
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcien
New requirements have been added to the Clery Act, which is a federal law that requires universities to put out an annual report of crimes that have happened on their campus or on any of their properties. The three new categories that were added this year were domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
Even though the changes won't be official until July I of next year, universities across the U.S. are expected to make a "good faith effort" to putting the law into practice right now, said a press release from the U.S. Department of Education. This is required for all colleges and universities who participate in federal financial aid programs.
Statistics Act, was passed in 1991. Its purpose is to ensure safety on university campuses by making sure that students are well-informed of what's happening on their campus. It may seem straightforward, but Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost of Student Affairs, said that the faculty has to go through a lot of training on how to comply with the law.
The Clery Act, officially called the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
"If you see something, say something."
JANE TUTTLE Assistant vice provost of Student Affairs
"It's a complicated law, but (the intent is good), to make us all more aware and safer," she said.
Tuttle said that the University has already been following the new rules since last year, so reports of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking were included in their 2013 security report.
Last year, there were five reports of domestic violence on campus, and three reports in residential facilities. For dating violence, there were three reports that happened on campus and two that occurred in residential facilities. And there were four reports of stalking, both on campus and in residential facilities.
Tuttle thinks that these small changes to the Clery Act will add up to be something bigger in the long run, but said that it still takes action by people to make it happen.
"If we're going to change a culture, we all have to step up." Tuttle said.
She said that it's not just up to faculty or students, but everybody on campus working together to really make a cultural change happen. She encourages everyone to participate in "bystander education," which means that everyone is a witness and can speak up, even if they aren't a victim or formally involved.
"If you see something, say something. If you hear a sexist joke or a racist remark, say something just like, 'I don't want to hear that,'" she said.
"You don't have to go into a lecture, you don't have to put yourself in physical harm, but say something, 'This is unacceptable at the University of Kansas!'"
Kathy Rose-Mockry, executive director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, also said that students can help by simply speaking up and starting discussions with their friends and classmates about domestic violence and sexual assault. But if students want to get involved beyond talking,
they can volunteer at places like the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
"We are thrilled to have more people who are interested in helping as are many (volunteer) agencies," Rose-Mockry said. "They're always happy to work with new volunteers."
Rose-Mockry said that the new Clery Act mandates have not affected the Emily Taylor Center much, other than having to expand their reporting forms to include the new crime categories. She, like Tuttle, said that they've already been practicing bystander education for years and haven't had to change much.
Tuttle said that the Clery Act security report for 2014 must be out by Oct. 2015. The full report for 2013 can be read at www.ku.edu/safety.

SENATE FROM PAGE 1A
for Public Affairs.
"The rationale behind this amendment that will be proposed to KBOR next month is that a student referendum is unnecessary," Admussen said. "We disagree. When you're talking about student fees, when you're talking about money that every single student pays, the student voice is essential, and best communicated not just by a consultation with a few individuals, but with a referendum that gains the student perspective as a whole."
The resolution passed unanimously in the Rights and Finance committees.
ALCOHOL POLICIES
The other main resolution that passed this week would mandate that the Student Survey Board would have to survey students on whether they prefer a wet or dry campus.
The University currently has a dry campus policy, but makes exemptions every
year for specific events and tailgating. The resolution in question would not result in a policy change, or even Student Senate taking a collective stance on the issue, but would allow for the student body's input when it comes to alcohol policies at the University.
The presenters, Emma Halling a senior from Elkhart, Ind. and hold-over senator, and Chance Maginness, a freshman senator, said this is about understanding student perspective on the issue, which is something student representatives can then take into meetings with campus entities.
"We want students to really learn the behavior of interacting with senate on issues that they have opinions on and would like to see change on," Halling said. "So college students have opinions on alcohol, positive or negative, they have opinions about whether or not that should be available on their campus."
