The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or Clery Act, signed in 1990, is a federal statute codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), with implementing regulations in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 34 C.F.R. 668.46. The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses. Compliance is monitored by the United States Department of Education. The law is named after Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University student who was raped and murdered in her campus hall of residence in 1986. Annual Security and Fire Safety Report The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, often referred to as the Clery Report, includes statistics about crimes and other security incidents reported to campus security authorities in the past three years. The report also outlines policies, practice and resources related to campus security, crime reporting, alcohol and drug use, victim assistance programs, student discipline, community safety alerts, crime prevention, access to campus facilities/properties and personal safety tips.

Clery Geography Although the Clery Act does not require institutions to provide a map to show their campus and non-campus buildings, campus property or public property areas, Fitchburg State University chooses to provide one in their annual security report to help the campus community better understand where reported crimes occurred. Our Maps are also useful if to help identify the buildings and property that make up the Fitchburg State University’s Clery Act geography, and to pinpoint the patrol jurisdiction of the Fitchburg State University Police Department. Due to the size and geographical layout the University shares within the City of Fitchburg, we have also broken down the ASR’s map into several larger maps for your convenience in a portable document format.
