NACUA Seminar on the Clery Act
Campus Security and the Clery Act:
Key Compliance Issues, Obligations, and Pitfalls
Thursday, January 24, 2008

Statistics continue to show that college and university campuses are by far among the safest environments in the country. Nonetheless, violent crime does occur on and near college campuses every year and recent events have focused attention on campus crime and the responsibility of college officials to monitor and report on such crime, and in certain circumstances to also provide students with timely warnings following the occurrence of a violent crime. In particular, following a student murder on campus and a comprehensive compliance review, the Department of Education recently fined one institution over $300,000 for Clery Act violations. In addition, in the aftermath of the shootings at Virginia Tech last spring, a complaint was filed with the Department of Education alleging the University failed to issue a timely warning as required by the Clery Act following the first murders on the day of the shootings. That complaint is still pending.

Comments
Ohio law exempts from rape reporting advocates who are part of a bona fide program for providing counseling services to victims of sexual assault. This includes "services provided in an informal setting by a person who, by education or experience, is competent to provide those services." This is similar to counselor privilege. How might that affect Clery reporting?
