The University of Wisconsin-Madison released an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report as a part of “increased communications efforts” between the university and students about campus safety, according to a university news release.
The report was released in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Act, which requires universities to disclose information about severe crimes that occur on and around their respective campuses, and includes information about fire safety, crime rates and campus services, according to the release.
Dean of Students Lori Berquam also sent an email to university students directing them to the report.
The report said 122 sexual assaults occurred in the area in 2012, 24 of which happened on campus.
According to the report, liquor-related arrests have remained around 620 annually, while drug-related arrests have increased from 53 in 2010 to 72 in 2012.
Berquam said in the release that recent crimes are “consistent with past years” and that safety is a “top priority” for the university.
