Time is running out to submit your Annual Security Report. What would you do if faced with these Clery crime scenarios?
With Annual Security Reports (ASRs) due Oct. 1 and the new school year amongst us, increased fines and practice scrutiny have forced colleges and universities to take an even closer look at its Clery procedures.
Under the Clery Act, all colleges and universities that receive federal funding are required to disseminate a public annual security report to employees and students each year. ASRs, which must be published by Oct. 1 of each year, must also include:
Statistics of campus crime Statements of policy, procedures and programming (e.g., Timely Warning Policy) Campus facility security and access Law enforcement authority Incidents of alcohol and drug use Prevention of and response to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence and stalkingWe compiled this quiz using scenarios provided by Hayley Hanson, the leader of Husch Blackwell’s Higher Education group. Haley focuses on regulatory compliance, employment, faculty, accreditation, and litigation issues.
