In memory of Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman, who was raped and murdered in her dorm room in April 1986. The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act) is a consumer protection law that aims to provide transparency around campus crime policy and statistics. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to disseminate a public annual security report (ASR) to employees and students by October 1st every year.
The ASR must include crime statistics for the past three calendar years, details on efforts to enhance campus safety, and policy statements addressing crime reporting, campus facility security and access, law enforcement authority, alcohol and drug use, and the prevention of and response to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, stalking, and hazing.
The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to:
Report campus crime data;
Support victims of violence; and,
Publicly outline policies and procedures for campus safety.
Georgia College & State University is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for its faculty, staff, students, alumni, volunteers, and visitors. This site provides information related to the compliance with the Clery Act at Georgia College & State University.
