The Jeanne Clery Act is听a consumer protection law passed in 1990. The Clery Act requires
all colleges and universities who receive federal funding to share information about
crime on campus and their efforts to improve campus safety as well as inform the public
of crime in or around campus. This information is made publicly accessible through
the university's annual security report.

Under the Clery Act, institutions must provide survivors of sexual assault, domestic
violence, dating violence, and stalking with options such as changes to academic,
transportation, or living, or working situations, and assistance in notifying local
law enforcement, if the student or employee chooses to do so. It also provides both
parties in a campus disciplinary process certain rights.

Colleges and universities must outline specific policies and procedures within their
annual security reports, including those related to disseminating timely warnings
and emergency notifications, options for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence,
dating violence, and stalking, and campus crime reporting processes.

The crime statistics reported in compliance with the Clery Act are obtained from reports
to the 四色AV Police Department, local law enforcement agencies, and Campus Security
Authorities (CSAs.) Reports made to CSAs may also provide the basis for the issuance
of Timely Warnings or emergency notifications.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics
Act (the "Clery Act"), found at 20 U.S.C. 1092(f), imposes reporting obligations on
certain institutions of higher education with respect to certain crime statistics,
arrests, and campus disciplinary actions. Campus Security Authorities (CSA) is defined
by the Clery Act.

(e.g. daily crime log), and information dissemination (e.g. timely warnings, annual
security report).
