Clery Act

Adapted from the Know Your IX Webpage

“[The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or] Clery Act is a federal law that requires colleges to report crimes that occur “on campus” and school safety policies. This information is available each year in an Annual Security Report (ASR), which can be found on your school’s website. The Clery Act also requires schools to send timely warnings to the school community when there are known risks to public safety on campus.

The Clery Act also contains the Campus Sexual Assault Victim’s Bill of Rights, which requires colleges to disclose educational programming, campus disciplinary process, and victim rights regarding sexual violence complaints. The Clery Act was expanded in 2013 by the Campus SaVE Act (VAWA), which broadened Clery requirements to address all incidents of sexual violence (sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking).”
