Annual Safety and Athletics Reports

You deserve complete transparency, and we comply with the highest standards of safety reporting.

  • The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires institutions of higher education that participate in federal financial aid programs to make available an annual security and fire safety report and an annual equity in athletics report.
  • As required by law, Carnegie Mellon University’s security and fire safety report describes security, alcohol and drug, sexual assault and fire safety policies, and contains statistics on the number and type of crimes committed on campus and cause of fires in campus residence facilities during the preceding three years. You can obtain a copy by contacting the Carnegie Mellon Police Department at 412.268.6232 or by sending an email.

A printed copy of the university’s most recent report is available upon request by calling the Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation at 412.268.8054 or by sending an email to the Director of Athletics.
