Jeanne Clery Disclosure of
Campus Security Policy and Crimes Statistics Act
what is the "jeanne clery" disclosure act?
The Jeanne Clery
Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act,
codified at 20 USC 1092 (f) as a part of the Higher Education Act of
1965, is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to
disclose certain timely and annual information about campus crime and
security policies. All public and private post secondary educational
institutions participating in federal student aid programs are subject
to it.
The law, originally
enacted by Congress in 1990 as the Campus Security Act, was championed
by Howard and Connie Clery after their daughter Jeanne was tragically
murdered at Lehigh University in 1986. Amendments to the Act in 1998
renamed it in memory of Jeanne Clery.
The Clery Act requires
colleges and universities to publish an annual report every year by
October 1st that contains 3 years worth of crime statistics and certain
security policy statements including sexual assault policies which
assure basic victims’ rights, the law enforcement authority of campus
police and where the students should go to report crimes.
The complete text of the
Clery Act is available on the Security On Campus, Inc. web site at
www.campussafety.org as are the implementing regulations published
by the U.S. Department of Education.
