Clery Act

In 1990, the United States Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act, which requires postsecondary institutions to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in 1998 in memory of Jeanne Clery who was slain in her dormitory residence in 1986.
 
The Clery Act requires Tulane University to:
 
  • Publish a Daily Crime Log.
  • Collect data on the frequency of Clery Act crimes that occur within Clery geography and publish that data in an Annual Security Report.
  • You can view the most recent version of our Annual Security Report here:  2023 ASR
  • Identify and train Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) on their reporting obligations under the Clery Act.
  • Send Crime Alerts and Emergency Notifications when a situation poses a danger to the campus community.
  • Provide resources and protections to victims of crimes as stipualted by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
