The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) is a federal law that requires all colleges and universities to annually disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The act is named in memory of Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University First-Year student who was assaulted and murdered in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986. The Clery Act requires the University of New Haven to disclose “statistics concerning the occurrence of certain criminal offenses reported to local law enforcement agencies or any official of the institution who is defined as a ‘Campus Security Authority’.”
Safety on the University campus is a natural source of concern for parents, students, and University employees. Education — the business of the University of New Haven — can take place only in an environment in which each student and employee feels safe and secure. The University of New Haven recognizes this and employs a number of security measures to protect the members of this community.
