The following policies are presented in the order used by the regulations that require them.

3.3.1 Timely Warnings

Employees in various university offices monitor each campus to identify Timely Warning Situations. Reports of possible Timely Warning Situations are relayed to TWEN CSAs through university processes.

When a TWEN CSA receives information about a possible Timely Warning Situation, that TWEN CSA relays the information to the relevant campus’s Timely Warning and Emergency Notification Committee (TWEN Committee).

When a TWEN CSA relays information regarding a possible Timely Warning Situation to the university’s TWEN Committee, that TWEN Committee decides in accordance with the procedures described in its policy whether a Timely Warning is required.

The TWEN Committee issues Timely Warnings in a manner that

  • is timely; 
  • withholds as confidential the names and other identifying information of victims; and 
  • aids in the prevention of similar crimes. 

Each time the TWEN Committee decides whether to issue a Timely Warning, that TWEN Committee documents in writing that decision and promptly shares that documentation with the Office of Compliance & Ethics.

Each TWEN Committee member is authorized to issue a Timely Warning on behalf of its campus’s TWEN Committee if a timely TWEN Committee meeting is not feasible under the circumstances.

The university is not required to provide a Timely Warning with respect to a Clery Act Crime reported to a Pastoral Counselor or a Professional Counselor acting in that capacity.

3.3.2 Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics

A CSA must report any alleged Clery Act Crime that may have occurred within the Clery Act Geography using the form available at reportaconcern.byuh.edu and selecting Campus Safety & Security Incident Report. University employees use CSA reports to compile crime statistics each year as required by the Clery Act. As required by the Clery Act, these statistics are

  • disclosed annually to current employees and students, 
  • disclosed to prospective employees and students, 
  • submitted annually to the U.S. Department of Education; and 
  • available publicly at safetyandsecurity.byuh.edu/clery-report

Campus Security is responsible for the collection and compilation of crime statistics for the disclosures required above.

Statistics are collected from the following sources:

  • Campus Safety & Security, 
  • Campus security authorities (CSAs), 
  • Office of Honor, 
  • Residential Living, 
  • Title IX, 
  • EthicsPoint compliance hotline, 
  • Report a Concern, and 
  • Honolulu Police Department. 

A CSA who violates the requirements of this section may be subject to disciplinary action.

3.3.3 Victim or Witness Crime Reporting

A victim or witness of a Clery Act Crime may submit via reportaconcern.byuh.edu an anonymous report of an alleged Clery Act Crime occurring within the Clery Act Geography for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. (See Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics section above.)

The following is a list of the titles of each person or organization to whom students and employees should report Clery Act Crimes for the purposes of making Timely Warnings and the annual disclosure of crime statistics.

Campus Security provides the university’s security services for campus. When acting on behalf of Campus Security, employees and independent contractors may assert the university’s rights as a private property owner, but they do not exercise law enforcement authority and do not make arrests.

3.3.6 Reporting of Crimes to Law Enforcement

The university encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes that occur to law enforcement, including by others when the victim of a crime elects to, or is unable to, make such a report. Immediate reporting allows law enforcement to identify crimes and situations that pose an immediate or ongoing threat to the campus community and prevent future crime.

Individuals may report crimes that occur on-campus to Campus Security or to Honolulu Police Department and crimes that occur elsewhere to the relevant local law enforcement agency.

3.3.7 Off-Campus Student Organizations

The university does not recognize off-campus student organizations. (See Student Organizations policy and Student Activities policy.)

3.3.8 Emergency Response and Evacuation Notification Procedures

Employees in various university offices monitor campus to identify situations that might involve a threat to health or safety. Reports of these possible or actual threats are relayed to TWEN CSAs through university processes.

Once a threat or potential threat has been identified by a TWEN CSA, the TWEN CSA relays the information regarding the threat or potential threat to the TWEN Committee. The TWEN Committee then evaluates all reasonably available information to determine whether there is an Emergency Notification Situation.

If the TWEN Committee confirms there is an Emergency Notification Situation, that TWEN Committee issues an Emergency Notification in accordance with the Emergency Notification Procedure described below.

If a campus’s TWEN Committee confirms there is not an Emergency Notification Situation, the TWEN Committee documents in writing the facts that led to its decision not to issue an Emergency Notification and promptly shares that documentation with the Office of Compliance & Ethics.

3.3.8.1 Emergency Notification Procedure

When the TWEN Committee has confirmed that a significant emergency or dangerous situation is occurring on-campus that involves an immediate or impending threat to the health or safety of students or employees, the TWEN Committee follows the Emergency Notifications to Campus Community policy.

The university tests its emergency response and evacuation procedures at least annually, including by

  • holding tests that may be announced or unannounced; 
  • publicizing its emergency response and evacuation procedures in conjunction with at least one test per calendar year; and 
  • documenting, for each test, a description of the exercise, the date, time, and whether it was announced or unannounced. 

These tests are conducted by Campus Safety and other relevant campus units. Documentation regarding these tests is maintained by the sponsoring and participating campus units and reported to the Office of Compliance & Ethics.

3.3.11 Victims of Sex Crimes

A victim of a recent Sex Crime should

  1. preserve evidence and

3.3.11.2 Report the Sex Crime

A victim of a Sex Crime who chooses to report the Sex Crime should report to law enforcement and campus authorities as detailed in the Sex Discrimination policy.

The university protects the confidentiality of victims of Sex Crimes and other necessary parties as described in the Sex Discrimination policy. The university completes publicly available recordkeeping, including Clery Act reporting and disclosures, without the inclusion of personally identifying information about the victim. The university maintains as confidential any accommodations or protective measures provided to the victim, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the institution to provide the accommodations or protective measures.

When a student or employee reports to the Title IX Office that the student or employee has been a victim of a Sex Crime, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, the Title IX Office provides the student or employee a written explanation of the student’s or employee’s rights or options, including

  • information about existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, student financial aid, and other services available for victims, both within the institution and in the community; and 
  • options for, available assistance in, and how to request changes to academic, living, transportation, and working situations or protective measures. The university makes such accommodations or provides such protective measures if the victim requests them and if they are reasonably available, regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to campus police or local law enforcement. 

When a student or employee reports to the Title IX Office that the student or employee has been a victim of a Sex Crime, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, the Title IX Office provides the student or employee a written explanation of the student’s or employee’s rights or options, as described in this subsection.
