For over 20 years, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, commonly referred to as the Clery Act, has required nearly all higher education institutions to maintain and report statistics on campus crime. In short, all institutions that participate in federal financial aid programs must (1) collect and report to the campus community and federal government statistics for certain crimes that occur in certain geographic locations; (2) publish and enforce certain policies regarding crime and safety; and (3) have policies in place requiring institutions to take specific actions when certain incidents occur. Since its initial passage in 1990, the Clery Act has become more complex, requiring colleges and universities to spend more effort on compliance. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Education has stepped up independent enforcement actions and increased the maximum fine for Clery Act violations, making compliance even more critical.
This basic-level eight-week course is designed specifically for campus counsel who advise institutions on Clery Act compliance, as well as for administrators with significant Clery Act responsibilities. Taught by experienced NACUA member attorneys, this course is a high-quality, affordable, and convenient way for higher education attorneys and administrators to learn key responsibilities related to Clery Act compliance. The instructors will assume that participants have little or no prior experience with the Clery Act.
Topics covered will include:
- An overview of compliance obligations
- How to determine whether incidents that take place on- or off-campus are reportable
- How to count, classify, and report crimes under the Clery Act
- How the Clery Act intersects with Title IX
- Changes from the Violence Against Women Act — new regulations will be covered in course webinar
- Requirements related to timely warnings and emergency notifications
- Policies and procedures related to missing persons and fires
The course is a blend of self-study and instructor-facilitated learning. Participants can access materials 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each module features a narrated PowerPoint presentation (like a pre-recorded virtual seminar), self-assessments, and extensive resources. Students will have access to recordings of three instructor-led webinars and will be able to get their questions answered on a live conference call with the instructors. The course is informative, interactive, and convenient.
The course costs $449 for all participants. Participants at member institutions are eligible for a $100 discount. Register today!
