Jeanne Clery

Jeanne Clery was a college student who was tragically raped and murdered in 1986 at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. Her death highlighted the need for better campus safety and transparency about crime. In response, her parents advocated for legislation, leading to the Clery Act in 1990. This law requires colleges and universities in the U.S. to regularly disclose crime statistics and security policies to ensure students are informed about safety on campus. The Clery Act aims to promote awareness and enhance the safety of students in higher education institutions.
