Under Ohio's public records law (Ohio Revised Code 149.43) the university may not promise confidentiality to those who report crimes to anyone except counselors at the Counseling Center, or, under certain circumstances, to a physician or nurse at University Health Service or the hospital. Some offcampus reports may also be legally confidential (e.g., to clergy or health care professionals).

Reports confidential by law are not reported to the university for inclusion in the annual crime statistics report. However, because of the public records law, the university does not have a policy that permits the confidential reporting of crimes to individuals or offices that supply crime statistics for this annual report. Crimes reported to the following individuals or offices will be included in our annual report.
