| Annual Safety Report/Clery Campus Crime Statistics
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is the federal law, originally known as the Campus Security Act, that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses.
Schools are required to publish an annual report every year that contains 3 years worth of campus crime statistics and certain security policy statements including sexual assault policies which assure basic victims’ rights, the law enforcement authority of campus police and where students should go to report crimes.
The report is to be made available to all current students and employees while prospective students and employees are to be notified of its existence and afforded an opportunity to request a copy.
Rensselaer has been participating in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report since 1976.
The statistics include fraternity and sorority complaints and crimes that happened off campus, while the victim was in transit between the main campus and a Rensselaer residential area.
Due to this comprehensive reporting, we have consistently exceeded federal requirements for reporting of crime.
