Clery Compliance Committee and Resources

Clery Compliance Committee

The Clery Compliance Committee promotes university-wide responsibility in complying with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act; 20 U.S.C., Section 1092[f], as amended. The full committee meets two to three times a year or as needed. Also, subgroups may meet periodically. Coordination and communication among campuses and locations is ongoing.

Charge/Purpose:

Strengthen compliance with the Clery Act and related provisions of the Higher Education Opportunity Act. These laws require providing accurate, complete, and timely information for campus crime, security, and fire safety. Committee goals include expanding communication and coordinating requirements, gathering and reporting information, and supporting training to mitigate Clery compliance risks.
