History of the Clery Act
The Clery Act is named in memory of 19-yearold Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann
Clery who was raped and murdered in her
residence hall room on April 5, 1986. Her
parents believe she would have been more
cautious if she had known about other violent
crimes at Lehigh.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the

What to tell the person reporting this to
you

available to crime victims

mandatory reporter under
Clery
• Reassure them you will not
identify anyone unless the
victim consents

help

violence, dating violence, or
stalking, CSAs required by VAWA
to provide:
• Victims with written
resources

evidence
• Give them a copy of the
“Resources” flyer
23
Information you need for reporting
• Ask for important details:

• What happened?
• When did it happen?
• If not sure how to classify the crime pick the best
suited and provide details in the comment
section on the CSA form—USFSM/NCF Campus
Police will sort it out
• Refer the student to the USFSM/NCF
Wellness Center or Victim Advocate
24
Do NOT report crimes to the Clery
Coordinator if:

before he/she enrolled at USFSM or NCF.
• While he/she was away from campus and not
involved in a USFSM or NCF activity.
25
What NOT to do

place or who was at fault—that is the function of
law enforcement

the crime—that is the function of law enforcement
• Do NOT try to convince a victim to contact
law enforcement if the victim chooses not
to do so
• Do NOT identify the victim unless the victim
consents to being identified
26
What does the Clery Coordinator
do with CSA reports?
• Determines whether or not the
crime or incident is reportable
under Clery

is included as a de-identified
statistic in our Annual Security and
Fire Safety Report; published every
October 1st and available on the

NCF Policy
• NCF prohibits discrimination/harassment on the basis
of sex.
• It is the policy of NCF to take immediate and
corrective action to eliminate harassment or
discrimination, prevent their recurrence and address
their effects
33
Gender Identity
• The prohibition against discrimination/harassment on
the basis of sex also extends to claims of
discrimination based on gender identity or failure to
conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or
femininity
• Also extends to claims of sexual discrimination by
someone of the same sex
34
Who can you talk to?
You can speak to anyone that you feel comfortable
talking to. However:
• Confidentiality: you may speak with the victim’s advocate and our counseling
staff in the Counseling and Wellness Center confidentially. They will not share
what you tell them unless you want them to.
• Mandatory reporters: all other NCF employees, including faculty, resident
assistants, other student employees, and trustees are all considered
mandatory reporters and MUST report information about sexual misconduct
to the Title IX Coordinator or designee.
35
Filing a Complaint
You may
• share as much information as you feel comfortable providing
• request that your name and other identifiable information not be disclosed to
the alleged perpetrator
However
• Providing more information will assist the college with conducting an
investigation and asking the College to not disclose your name will limit the
ability of the College to respond.
• Even if you ask the College not to take action the College may still be required
to take steps to protect the overall campus environment. In such an event the
College will do its best to protect your identity.
