2014-2015 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
With its main campus located in the heart of one of the world’s great cities, the University of Illinois at Chicago is a
vital part of the educational, technological and cultural fabric of the region. UIC is a premiere urban public research
institution with 28,000 students, 15 colleges, a hospital and a health sciences system. We are a campus with a global
perspective strongly rooted in Chicago, but with a statewide presence and responsibility. We operate regional health
science campuses in Rockford, Peoria, Urbana-Champaign, the Quad Cities, and our newest location for fall 2015,
the Springfield regional campus.
UIC is deeply committed to academic excellence, student success, campus preparedness and safety, and
transformative impact; as well as to intensive research with scholarship focused on urban resilience, social justice,
social science, community health, economic and educational disparities, the arts, the humanities, the natural
sciences, and biomedical discovery. UIC is proud to be recognized as having one of the most ethnically and culturally
rich college campuses in America. Our welcoming environment and diverse student body engender deeper learning
and provide new perspectives on life.
The safety and security of everyone on each campus is a top priority at UIC. We demonstrate our commitment to safety
and security through strong education and prevention programs. These programs equip the campus community to
work together to prevent and respond to crimes and other threats to our collective safety and security.
This report is provided as required by the federal law known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)) (as amended), which requires all colleges and universities
receiving federal financial aid to disclose security information, including crime statistics for certain crimes, to the
campus community and the U.S. Department of Education. The purpose of the Clery Act is to provide students,
prospective students, and their families with accurate information regarding safety on campus so that they can make
informed decisions.
The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report has been prepared by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administrative
Services, which is responsible for the safety and well-being of everyone on UIC campuses, as well as for the
continuous improvement of security measures. This report is part of UIC’s on-going effort to inform you about the
safety programs and services available to the campus community. All members of the UIC community are encouraged
to use this report as a guide for safe practices on and off campus, and to be vigilant and supportive of each other.
