Keeping campuses safe from sexual violence: What you must know about Title IX and Clery

Sexual violence is a serious and pervasive problem on Americas college and university campuses. Some estimates suggest that one of every four college women will be sexually assaulted while in college. Sexual violence interferes with a victims right to learn, and it erodes safety for everyone. The federal government has responded with legislation that establishes institutional requirements and expectations of colleges and universities.

Campus safety and security hinges on your understanding of the intersection of Clery and Title IX.
