The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, commonly referred to as the Clery Act, requires higher education institutions to collect, report and disseminate crime data to the campus community and U.S. Department of Education; to provide timely warnings of reported crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students or employees; and to make public their campus security policies.

The Clery Act specifies that higher education institutions disclose statistics for incidents that are reported to a campus security authority or local police that take place on campus, in or on non-campus buildings or property, or on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus.

Jeanne Clery was a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman when she was assaulted and murdered in her dorm room in April 1986. The "Clery Act" was enacted in the belief that crime awareness can prevent campus victimization.
