Caring for Our Greatest Assets

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act requires institutions of higher education to produce and distribute an annual report containing information on their campus crime statistics and campus security policies.  In accordance with that requirement, Tuskegee University Police Department and the Title IX Office, working with partners across campus, has prepared this report.  Tuskegee University (“TU,” “Tuskegee,” or “University”) distributes this report annually to all students and employee via an email notice containing a link to this electronic version of the report.  Any applicant for admission or employment may receive a copy on request.  You can read the report at 2024_Crime_and_Safety_Report.

At Tuskegee University, We strive to be the institution of choice for students, faculty and staff. We enroll more than 3,000 students and employ several hundred faculty and support personnel. We recognize that employees are one of the University’s most valuable resources. Joining the University staff offers aspiring professionals unique possibilities and growth opportunity.
