Timely Warnings
The
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (
Clery Act) requires universities to alert the campus community to certain crimes in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. Although the
Clery Act doesn't define "timely," the intent of a warning regarding a criminal incident(s) is to enable people to protect themselves. This means that a warning should be issued as soon as pertinent information is available. Timely Warnings are issued for
Clery Act crimes that occur on property owned or controlled by the university.
For more information about the Clery Act, Clery defined crimes, and Clery defined geography, please visit the university's
Clery Act website.
