The crime statistics include disciplinary referrals for alcohol, drug, and weapons law violations made to the following offices and individuals:
* Ball State University Police

* Office of Housing and Residence Life
* Any other office within the Division of Student Affairs
* Advisors to student organizations

Annual Security Report Preparation
Ball State University's Annual Campus Security Report is the result of the effort of many people on campus. Each year individuals from the afore-mentioned offices submit data for inclusion in the annual crime statistics. No formal police report is required for a crime to be included in the statistics. Every effort is made to ensure that all persons required to report in fact do so and that our statistics are as accurate as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the statistics and information in this report, please contact the Office of University Marketing and Communications, Ball State University, Muncie, IN 47306; telephone: (765) 285-1560.
