responding to the incident. General information about FIU’s emergency response and a copy of the University’s CEMP is available at dem.fiu.edu. All members of the FIU community are notified on an annual basis that they should alert the FIUPD of any situation or incident that involves a significant emergency or dangerous situation that may involve an immediate or ongoing threat to the health and safety of students and/or employees on campus or educational sites. The FIUPD has the responsibility of responding to, and summoning the necessary resources FIUPD to mitigate, investigate and document any situation that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In addition, the FIUPD has a responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does, in fact, pose a threat to the community. If that is the case, federal law requires that the University immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community that may be affected by the situation.

NOTIFICATION TO THE FIU COMMUNITY ABOUT AN IMMEDIATE THREAT Emergency Notification If the FIUPD, External Relations, and/or the Department of Emergency Management confirms there is an emergency or dangerous situation that poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all members of the FIU community, then the FIU community will be notified by all or some of the systems described below to communicate the threat to the FIU community or to the appropriate segment of the community if the threat

THE VICTIM EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM (VEP) The Victim Empowerment Program provides free and confidential services to assist students, faculty, staff and University visitors who have experienced actual or threatened violence.

Victim advocates support and inform victims of their right to report all offenses to police. However, police reports are not required to receive services. The Victim Empowerment Program’s role is to provide emotional support and resources to help overcome the effect of the incident(s) and help students be successful in their academic pursuits. VEP provides the following services… •

24-hour crisis support, information, referrals and advocacy

Supportive crisis counseling to individuals who have been recently victimized

Literature on date-rape education, risk reduction and University response is available through, but not limited to, the Office of Housing and Residential Life, Victim Empowerment Program and CAPS. If an individual is a victim of a sexual assault, their first priority should be to get to a place of safety. They should then obtain necessary medical treatment. The FIUPD strongly advocates that a victim of a sexual assault report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation. An assault can be reported directly to an FIU police officer, a Residential Life representative, the Victim Empowerment Program, and/or the office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity.

Addressing Sex Offenders On Campus The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) (section 1601 of Public Law 106-386) is a law that provides for the tracking of convicted, registered sex offenders enrolled as students at institutions of higher education, or working or volunteering on campus. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice, to

Title IX Florida International University (FIU) complies with Title IX not just because it is the law, but because it is the right thing to do. FIU strives to create and maintain an education and employment environment that is fair and equitable to each member of the University community. FIU is committed to the safety and well-being of all members of the University community, and encourages anyone who experiences or witnesses discrimination, harassment or sexual misconduct in connection with academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs of the school to report the incident, whether it takes place on or off campus. At FIU, such behaviors are not tolerated and are prohibited both by law and by University Regulation 105 entitled Sexual Misconduct (Title X). The Title IX Coordinator provides advice and oversight on policies, preventive educational programs, resources and services required under Title IX, and in addition, oversees all complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence, as well as identifies and addresses any patterns or systematic problems that arise during the review of complaints.

Hate Crimes 2018: One on-campus simple assault incident characterized by religious bias took place on MMC. 2019: One non-campus vandalism incident characterized by religious bias took place at the FIU Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach. 2020: No hate crimes were disclosed during this reporting year.

Unfounded Crimes 2018: Two unfounded Motor Vehicle Thefts 2019: Four unfounded Motor Vehicle Thefts, one unfounded Burglary and one unfounded Dating Violence incident. 2020: Three unfounded Motor Vehicle Thefts Crime Statistic Updates After careful consideration, the “Italy Campus” does not meet the Clery definition of a campus and therefore statistics for this location will be removed and no longer reported. Civil Citations have been deemed not to meet the criteria for “arrest”; therefore, drug arrest statistics have been amended to reflect the change.
