In what instances should a privately owned establishment on campus be reported?

In the context of reporting crimes and incidents for compliance with the Clery Act, a privately owned establishment on campus should be reported when it is part of a written contract because this stipulation establishes a formal relationship between the institution and the establishment.

When an establishment is covered by a written contract, it usually implies that the institution has some degree of control over the establishment or its premises, which is significant for Clery Act reporting. The act requires reporting for certain campus locations, especially those that are used by the institution or are under its jurisdiction.

The other options do not establish the same level of necessity. For instance, simply serving food to students or being located within a residential hall may not establish the same legal obligation for reporting unless there is a formalized agreement that outlines the relationship and responsibilities regarding safety and reporting. Reporting is based on institutional control and responsibility rather than the nature of the service provided or the location alone.
