Supporters of this bill hoped it would go even further than the Campus Security Act in notifying students about the status of crime on campus. Hearings for H.R. 2416 were held before a subcom- mittee last summer. Since then, however, the bill has languished. Despite the attention campus crime received on the hill this year, the Open Campus Police Logs Act did not pass either house before Congress adjourned in October. The bill would have amended the Higher Education Act of 1965, which is up for reauthorization by Congress next year.
Advocates hope to reintroduce the legislation at that time.
We want to keep the momentum going, but I'm confident that together, we'll win out.
