Jeanne CLERY Disclosure of Campus Security Policy

and Campus Statistics Act

CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITY (CSA) TRAINING – 2007 CLERY

CLERY Act Overview

The "Jeanne CLERY Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998," commonly referred to as the "CLERY Act," requires institutions of higher education receiving federal financial aid to report specified crime statistics on college campuses and to provide other safety and crime information to members of the campus community.

The University provides crime information and statistics to the public in a variety of ways. In addition to the CLERY Act, the University provides to the California Department of Justice crime statistics that are classified pursuant to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program administered by the FBI. These statistics are reflected in the University of California Police Department Annual Report and Crime Statistics, the annual California Department of Justice Crime in California, and the annual FBI Crime in the United States publications.

Background

The current CLERY Act is the latest iteration of a law first passed by Congress in 1990 as part of the Higher Education Act, "The Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990." This law, and regulations adopted by the Department of Education implementing the law, has been subject to evolution over the past 10 years.

The 1998 amendments, among other things, renamed the "Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act" as the "Jeanne CLERY Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act." The 1998 amendments, which became effective October 1, 1998, expanded the campus responsibilities for recording crime statistics, the number of people from whom colleges must collect statistics, and revised reporting methods and deadlines. The Department of Education regulations implementing the 1998 amendments to the CLERY Act were adopted November 1, 1999, and became effective July 1, 2000. The 1999 regulations define and clarify reporting obligations for various geographic locations, clarify the responsibilities of counselors, add new categories of crimes to be reported and new policies to be disclosed, clarify how to compile and describe crime statistics, change the date for disclosure of the Annual Security Report to October 1, and require certain institutions (including the University of California campuses) to maintain a publicly available crime log.

CLERY Act Requirements

The CLERY Act includes the following general substantive requirements:

1. Compilations and Disclosure of Campus Crime Statistics

The Act requires the collection and reporting of annual crime statistics reflecting reports of specified crimes that occur on, and adjacent to, a university campus and certain properties associated with the campus. This statistical compilation must be broken down by specified types of crimes and campus disciplinary referrals, and must indicate if a specified crime is a hate crime, which must be reported by category of prejudice. Campuses must also provide a geographic breakdown of the crime statistics reported according to the following defined geographic areas: "on campus" (including a further breakdown of the number of crimes that occurred in campus student residential facilities), "in or on a non-campus building or property," and "on public property."

2. Disclosure of Campus Safety Policies

The Annual Security Report prepared by a campus must, in addition to providing required crime statistics, describe specified campus policies concerning reporting criminal activity or other emergencies occurring on campus; policies concerning the security of, maintenance of, and access to campus facilities; campus law enforcement policies regarding the authority of campus law enforcement units and the facilitation of crime reporting; a description of the type and frequency of campus programs to inform students and employees about campus security procedures, security precautions, and the prevention of crimes; statement of policy concerning the monitoring and recording through local police agencies of off-campus criminal activity by students; statement of alcohol and drug policies including education programs; statement of policy concerning campus programs to prevent sexual assaults and procedures to be followed when such an assault occurs; and a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.

3. Timely Warning Requirements

The campus is required to report to the campus community those crimes considered to represent a threat to students and/or employees "in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes."

4. Disclosure of Crime Log Information

Campuses that maintain a police department are required to maintain a daily crime log that contains specified information about any and all crimes that occur within the patrol jurisdiction of the campus police and that are reported to the campus police department. Certain information may be withheld from the crime log under specified circumstances, primarily information that would jeopardize the success of an investigation or the safety of a person involved in the investigation. The campus must make the crime log for the most recent 60-day period open to public inspection during normal business hours, while crime logs containing material more than 60 days old must be retained for seven years for public inspection upon two days' notice.
