Jeanne Clery was a student at Lehigh University who was raped and murdered in her dorm room.
Jeanne's parents lobbied to have a law passed that would require all institutions of higher learning that receive federal funding to publish the institution's crime statistics, identify resources for those impacted by sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, as well as policies and procedures related to timely warnings and emergency notifications. The Jeanne Clery Act was passed in 1990. This information is published annually, by October 1, in our Safety, Security, and Fire Report.
