Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in paragraph (1) of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).

All public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. This is often referred to as “sidewalk-street-sidewalk” for public property that borders a campus boundary. Holy Cross does not have any public property within the campus. The public streets that may intersect those streets and roadways that immediately border the campus are not part of the “public property” definition for Clery Act purposes.

Public property refers to property owned by a public entity, such as a city or state government. It should not be confused with public space or property used or occupied by members of the public. An open lobby in Hogan may be considered public space, but it is not public property since it is not owned by a city or state government.

Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or

Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, and is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.

The Clery Act does not specify what information should be included in the Timely Warning, but it should include all necessary information for the campus

community to be aware and take measures to promote their safety.

The decision to issue a Timely Warning includes, but is not limited to:

• The nature of the crime
• The continuing danger to the campus community
• The possible risk of compromise to law enforcement efforts. This includes compromising efforts to:
  • assist a victim;
  • contain the emergency;
  • respond to the emergency;
  • or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

• Type of reported crime
• Time and location of reported crime (specifics may not be reported to the police; if available, specifics may be withheld if disclosing them would identify a survivor or victim)
• Specific advice for the campus regarding steps to take to promote safety

Unless the below information will make an immediate, material difference for public safety, Timely Warning content will typically not include:

• Descriptions of alleged suspects based on perceptions of ethnicity or race;
• Wording that could lead members of the community to feel stereotyped, marginalized, or profiled
