The
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act, also known as the Clery Act, is a federal law that
requires institutions of higher education to have in place certain
security and safety policies, and to disclose certain crime statistics.
These policies and statistics are published every year on
October 1 in UW-Steven Point’s Annual Security Report and Annual Fire
Safety report. The Clery Act also identifies certain staff, faculty and
students as “Campus Security Authorities” and requires that they forward
reports of crimes to designated offices on campus. The Clery Act was
amended in 2013 to expand the list of crimes tracked and to broaden the
rights and resources that victims of sexual assault, domestic violence,
sexual assault and stalking are entitled to.
The Clery Act also requires institutions with
campus police or security departments to maintain a daily crime log in
an effort to provide a more “real-time” snapshot of crime on campus.
UW-Stevens Point's Clery Crime Log can be found at University Police,
1925 Maria Drive (George Stien Building), Stevens Point, WI 54481.
On
this website, you will find information about our Clery program,
including resources for and about our Campus Security Authorities,
selected Clery policies, and reporting, rights and resource information
for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and
stalking.
The
Clery Act was named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old student who was
raped and murdered in her dorm room when she was a freshman at Lehigh
University in 1986.
