Campus Security Act

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (Public Law 101-542) was passed into law in 1990 and impacts all colleges and universities receiving financial assistance from the federal government. In 1998, the name was changed to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). The Clery Act is a legislative effort to encourage colleges and universities to inform their campus communities of specific crimes occurring on their campuses.

Bryant University maintains an open communication policy by publishing crime and incident statistics in The Archway, the student newspaper. Crimes that pose an immediate threat to the community may be reported by such methods as leaflets, voice mail, electronic mail, public announcement messages, and personal contacts. Each October, the crime statistics for the three most current years are made available to the community. A copy of this report can be found here: Annual Security & Fire Safety Report
