Departmental Overview

The Clery team is responsible for the Campus' compliance with The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act). The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses.

The Clery Act is based on the premise that current and prospective students and employees are entitled to accurate, complete, and transparent disclosures about campus crime and threats to their personal safety, allowing them to make well-informed decisions about where to study, work, and live. As a campus, we wholeheartedly agree with that charge and have taken numerous steps to strengthen our compliance efforts.
