Clery Act
Clery Act
Clery Act
In 1998, the federal government passed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act, or the Clery Act. This law requires colleges and universities receivingfederal funding to:
Publish an annual report disclosing campus security policies and three years of selected crime
and fire statistics.
Make timely warnings to the campus community about crimes that pose a serious or ongoing
threat.
Keep a public crime log.
Uphold basic rights to victims of sexual assault.
Make accurate crime statistics available to the U.S. Department of Education, which centrally
collects and disseminates campus crime statistics at the national level.
Face possible fines from the U.S. Department of Education when schools fail to comply with the
Clery Act.
The purpose of the Clery Act is to provide current and prospective students and employees with accurate,
complete and t i m e l y information about campus safety so that they can make informed decisions. The University
of Denver's Department of Campus Safety publishes the Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report in
compliance with the Clery Act, and also offers it as a resource guide, directing readers to campus safety and
security services and providing crime prevention and personal safety guidance and strategies.
This report also includes information and policy statements regarding campus security and safety, for example,
crime prevention and security awareness, fire safety, alcohol and substance abuse, sexual assault prevention,
response and resources, procedures for reporting a crime, and emergency and evacuation policies and
procedures, as well as other matte rs of importance to the campus community.
The 2016 Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report meets Clery Act federal requirements, as set forth by
the Department of Education, including the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, as related to the Jeanne
Clery Act, and including amendments to the Clery Act under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and more
recently, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, for which Department of Education final
regulations became effective July 1, 2015. Compliance with these provisions does not constitute a violation of
section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C.1232g), commonly known as the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
