Overview of the Updated 2011 ED Handbook for Clery Act/HEOA

Your school won’t get any attention when you are compliant with the Clery Act. But wait until you see the headlines when you aren’t.

There is no good outcome for failure to comply with the Clery Act and other campus crime and safety reporting requirements. Colleges and universities risk not only bad publicity, but also significant fines and penalties that could jeopardize participation in federal student financial aid programs. Moreover, you could be putting students, faculty, staff, and visitors in harm’s way.

You don’t have to find out about compliance problems the hard way. On Feb. 28, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education issued a revised handbook expressly written to help colleges and universities remain in compliance.

You can pore over the 303-page Handbook to determine where you stand. Or you can easily learn from two highly respected experts what has changed, what hasn’t, and what you need to do to remain in compliance—and avoid significant fines and penalties—from two national experts in this 90-minute seminar.

Dolores Stafford and Robin Parker, J.D., provide essential information on complying with the Clery Act as well as the Fire Safety and Missing Persons requirements imposed by the Higher Education Opportunity Act.

In Overview of the Updated 2011 ED Handbook for Clery Act/HEOA, a 90 minute seminar:

• Discuss key changes, clarifications, and additions to the Handbook, including new categories of hate crimes, new disclosure requirements, new emergency notification and evacuation procedure requirements, fire safety reporting updates, and more;
• Provide case studies and examples, drawn from the Department’s Campus Safety and Security Help Desk along with actual audits, to enhance understanding of the changes;
• Help you understand how Handbook changes and additions will affect your current campus policies and procedures;
• Identify what changes your campus needs to make to remain in compliance and avoid costly penalties and infractions that could jeopardize participation in federal student financial aid programs
• Offer insight and analysis beyond what is contained in the Handbook itself.

You will come away with a thorough understanding of Clery Act/HEOA revisions, current Department of Education interpretations of the law, and campus changes necessary to remain in compliance. This is critical for all colleges and universities as noncompliance can jeopardize Title VI student financial aid funding and lead to significant fines up to $27,500 per incident.

Dolores Stafford is president and CEO of D. Stafford & Associates. Her firm specializes in college safety and security issues, particularly Clery Act compliance. Stafford has 26 years of experience in law enforcement, including 23 on college campuses. Robin Parker is general counsel to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Parker has been speaking and advising on campus security issues, including compliance, for nearly 15 years.

You also receive white papers offering more detail on specific Clery issues as well as blank versions of checklists, rubrics, and other worksheets to use in on-campus compliance efforts.
