OP 76.02: Annual Crime Reporting – Clery Act Compliance
DATE: June 13, 2023
PURPOSE: The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, part of the Federal Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and as further amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (collectively known as the “Clery Act”) requires that colleges and universities participating in federal student aid programs gather and report to the campus community and the federal government statistics for certain crimes that occur on or near campuses and publish policy statements concerning campus safety and security. The Clery Act also requires that such institutions have policies in place to take certain actions when circumstances prescribe that those actions are required. The purpose of this Operating Policy/Procedure (OP) is to ensure that Texas Tech University is in compliance with the Clery Act.
