The Same, Yet Different

In the wake of COVID-19 and an advancing civil rights movement, institutions around the nation are reaffirming their commitments to campus safety. As communities wrestle with a new normal, the Clery Act remains the same— a call to action. This September, Clery Center will highlight how the Clery Act can serve as a guidepost, centering conversations around personal and campus safety following the historic events of 2020. Whether examining the increase in reports of intimate partner violence during lockdown, or the uptick in hate crimes and bias-related incidents, the Clery Act can serve as the barometer to examine campus climate. There is little doubt that 2020 will go down in history. So, please plan to join us this September to explore the Clery Act’s continued relevance as we enter a fall semester that will be the same, yet very different.
