Clery Act
On April 5, 1986, Jeanne Clery was raped and murdered in her dorm room by a fellow student. Her parents championed for the Clery Act in her memory. This Act is a federal law that requires colleges to report crimes that occur “on campus” and school safety policies. The Clery Act was expanded in 2013 by the Campus SaVE Act, which broadened Clery requirements to address all incidents of sexual violence (sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking).
