Information Dissemination

The U.S. Department of Education enforces the Clery Act

The Department of Education can issue fines up to $27,500 per violation for a substantial misrepresentation of number, location or nature of crimes required to be reported.

Non-compliance makes the institution looks like it’s trying to hide something.

Prevents community members or perspective community members from making informed decisions that impact their safety.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities is considered a “Campus Security Authority” under the Clery Act.

Campus Security Authorities must report Clery Reportable Crimes that they are aware of to NDSP for inclusion in campus crime statistics and for “Timely Warnings” when applicable.

When in doubt, Report!
