The "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act"
(originally known as the "Campus Security Act") was enacted by the United States Congress and signed into
law by President George Bush in 1990. It is named in memory of 19-year old Lehigh University freshman
Jeanne Ann Clery who was assaulted and murdered while asleep in her residence hall in 1986. This law
requires us and all institutional officials with significant responsibility for campus and student affairs
to publicly disclose 3 years of campus crime statistics.
Each school must disclose crime statistics for the campus, unobstructed public areas immediately adjacent
to or running through the campus, and certain non-campus facilities including remote classrooms. The
Statistics must be gathered from campus security, local law enforcement, and other school officials who
have "significant responsibility for student and campus activities". Professional mental health and
religious counselors are exempt from reporting obligations, but may refer patients to a confidential
reporting system which the school has to indicate whether or not it has.

"Crime Stats Page".
