In April 1986, Jeanne Clery, a freshman at Lehigh University, was raped and killed in her dormitory room. She awoke during a robbery and was silenced by her attacker to prevent her from identifying him. Jeanne's parents believed that Lehigh University failed to provide students with critical information about campus safety.
In the years following her death, they campaigned for legislative reform. Their efforts led to the passage of The Clery Act in 1990. This federal law requires all universities and colleges that receive federal student financial aid to report crime statistics, alert the campus community about imminent dangers, and distribute an Annual Campus Security Report to current and prospective students and employees. Schools that do not comply may face fines.
