  3. Campus Security Act The Campus Security or “Clery” Act is a federal law that requires colleges/universities • Give timely warning of crimes that represent a threat • Make public campus security policies • Maintain a public crime log • Crime data must be collected, reported, & shared with campus community & D.O.E.

  4. Campus Security Act (cont.) • Publish an annual report disclosing campus security policies & last 3 years selected crime statistics. • U.S. Department of Education collects and disseminates the crime statistics. • Failure to comply, can be fined by the DOE. • Very specific requirements on how all of this is done

  5. History • Named in memory of 19 year old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery who was murdered while asleep in her residence hall room on April 1986. • Parents discovered that students hadn't been told about violent crimes on campus. • Congress enacted this law in 1990 • Law has been amended many times since

  6. Campus Security Authority? • Not just the police or campus security • Defined as “an official of the college who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities…” • An “official” is a person who has the authority & duty to take action or respond to issues on behalf of the institution • Examples: dean, director, coach, a faculty advisor – in other words, You!

  7. I am one? What do I have to do? • Report allegations of crimes made in “good faith” to Campus Security • Need to be done quickly – don’t delay • Only two exceptions: • Pastoral counselor • Professional counselor who is functioning within the scope of their license

  8. Reporting • If you observe, or anyone reveals to you they were the victim, perpetrator, or witness to any crimes listed, report the information to Campus Security. • If in doubt, you need to err on the side of reporting • It does not matter whether an arrest was made or police were involved

  9. Types of Crimes to be Reported • Murder/manslaughter • Sex offenses, forcible & non-forcible • Robbery • Aggravated assault • Burglary • Motor vehicle theft • Arson • Hate crimes involving bodily injury, larceny/theft, simple assault, intimidation or vandalism • Liquor, drug, or weapon law violations resulting in an arrest or referral for campus discipline
