UNL has research, extension, and teaching facilities located throughout the State. UNL s main campus is located in the city of Lincoln, a community with a population of approximately 230,000. As part of that larger community, UNL shares many of the same interests and problems, including concerns about crime.
Crime is a problem that ignores campus, city, and state boundaries and affects the entire nation.
Although UNL has been fortunate in not experiencing a significant number of crimes in the past, it would not be accurate to state that such incidents have not taken place. As is true in all areas of society, such incidents have occurred. To control crime, the University of Nebraska Police Services, the Division of Student Affairs, students, faculty members, staff members, and visitors are all responsible for a number of measures to insure that members of the campus community and their possessions are protected as much as possible. In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, 20USC section 1092, the University of Nebraska is providing crime statistics and policies concerning campus security to current students and staff members, and potential applicants for enrollment or employment. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will also provide this information to the United States Department of Education.
