Institutions that receive federal funding are obligated to comply with their published campus safety policies and procedures, including with regard to emergency notifications. If you are tasked with assembling your campus’ Annual Security Report (ASR), you should be well aware that the deadline for submitting these reports is Oct. 1 of each year.
We know how complicated the requirements are for Clery compliance, so we’ve put together a quiz using campus crime scenarios from the 2016 Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting. Each scenario is laid out in detail and readers are asked what they should classify the crime as in their ASR. Previous installments of these quizzes have been well-received by many of our Campus Safety readers and we hope that they continue to prove helpful.
There are many, many more scenarios presented in the handbook if you want some extra practice. The handbook provides multiple scenarios for each crime that falls under the Clery Act, including manslaughter, aggravated assault, arson, hate crimes, domestic violence and stalking, among others.
