Overview:
The Jeanne Clery Act requires all higher education institutions participating in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their campuses. Failure to comply with the act's requirements can result in costly civil penalties, intense negative publicity, and suspension from federal aid programs. With recent media accounts reporting that a growing number of institutions are out of compliance with the statute, institutions must assess their efforts to make certain they are meeting their statutory requirements.
In addition, recent amendments to the Clery Act require institutions to:
- Engage in more inclusive hate crime reporting
- Specify formal relationships with city safety
- Publicize an evacuation procedure and test it annually
- Specify how they will alert the campus community of emergencies
- Specify when they will test their alert systems
Participants in this on-demand webcast will learn about:
- Annual report requirements, including filing
- Clery crime classification definitions and incident tabulation
- Daily crime log needs
- Dealing with multi-campus and quasi-campus issues
- Creating a compliance team and addressing a program review
- Using Department of Education resources to stay out of trouble
- Recent amendments to the Clery Act
