Important Updates

A new policy — SPG 601.91 Clery Act Compliance — outlines the expectations of the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security and employees designated as CSAs in the university’s compliance with the Clery Act.  Adults working with minors have been identified as CSAs and must complete the mandatory training annually in addition to the required CoC training modules. Any questions related to Clery training requirements can be directed to CleryAct-Compliance@umich.edu.

  • Do not engage in any sexual activity, make sexual comments, tell sexual jokes, or share sexually explicit material with minors or assist in any way to provide access to such material to minors
  • Do not engage in or allow minors to engage you in romantic or sexual conversations or related matters, unless required to do so in the role of resident advisor, counselor, or healthcare provider
  • Do not touch minors in a manner that a reasonable person could interpret as inappropriate
    • Touching should generally only be in the open and in response to the child’s needs, for a purpose that is consistent with program mission and culture, or for a clear educational, developmental, or health-related purpose (e.g., treatment of an injury). Any resistance from the minor should be respected.
  • Do not invite individual minors to your home or to other private locations
    • Any exceptions require authorization by the program administrator and written authorization by a parent/guardian
  • Do not provide gifts to minors or their families independent of items provided by
    the program.
