The Clery Act

In November 1990, the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II, Public Law 101-542) was signed into law. This law requires institutions of higher education to produce and make available certain policy statements and statistics about campus crime. In November of 1999, this Act was renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or simply, The Clery Act. It is the policy of Helene Fuld College of Nursing to publish by October 1st of each school year, an annual security report that informs current students and employees of its safety and security policies, procedures and practices. Data is submitted annually to the U.S Department of Education, via a web-based data collection, by all post-secondary institutions that receive Title IV funding (i.e., those institutions that participate in federal student aid programs). Our annual report (below) (Adobe Reader required) will also disclose statistics from the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property either owned or controlled by the College and owned or controlled by student organizations recognized by the College, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
