The Clery Act

Crimes in progress should be reported immediately to the police by dialing 911

The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, commonly known as the “Clery Act”, requires institutions receiving federal funding to publicly report statistics concerning the occurrence of certain criminal offenses involving students, staff, faculty, or visitors.

The Office of Civil Rights & Title IX (OCRTIX) works collaboratively with campus partners to coordinate the university’s compliance activities regarding the Clery Act. All members of the community can report Clery crimes, but Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are required to do so. KU’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report provides information about campus safety and security policies and procedures as well as crime information.

For more information on the Clery Act, please visit the U.S. Department of Education's Campus Security website.
