As a Catholic and Franciscan institution of higher education, Franciscan University stands with the Catholic Church in seeing “in men and women, in every person, the living image of God himselfâ. This understanding is the basis for the University’s commitment to promote and to defend the human dignity of all persons as Franciscan University strives to provide a safe and secure learning, working, and living environment. Franciscan University works diligently to reduce risk and the potential for crime. Safety and security are shared responsibilities, and the University expects all current and prospective community members to contribute to the safety and security of our campus.

Policy Against Discriminatory and Sexual Harassment and other forms of
Sexual Violence, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence and Stalking, plus
options and resources for victims. This report also includes
statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that
occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or

arrest, and referral statistics include those reported to designated
campus security officials as defined under the Clery Act and local law
enforcement agencies. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to use
