“I also include in the Record letters of support from the Clery Center on behalf of Connie Clery and the Clery family, and from Safe Campuses, LLC, to support changing the name of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act to the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. Clery Center, Fort Washington, PA, August 27, 2024. Dear Members of Congress: On behalf of Clery Center, Connie Clery, and the Clery family, I am writing to express our strong support for renaming the ``Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act'' to the ``Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act.'' We believe this revised name more accurately reflects the broad scope and intent of the legislation, and we urge Congress to support this change. Since its enactment, the Clery Act has served as a cornerstone in the effort to improve campus safety across the United States. As a consumer protection law, it provides the transparency and accountability that families and students deserve. The law's requirements, which include the disclosure of campus crime statistics, the implementation of safety policies, and the provision of timely warnings, have significantly contributed to the safety and well-being of students, faculty, and staff on college campuses. Over the years, the Clery Act's role has expanded beyond the mere disclosure of statistics and encompasses a comprehensive approach to preventing and responding to crime on campus.…”
