Good afternoon, Clery Team!

As promised, please see the attached guidance for updating your institution-wide Clery Act policy to bridge the gaps between the Clery Act/VAWA and Title IX. You will find three sections, with each heading highlighted, in the document. Instructions for each section are provided below.

* Definitions - Please ensure that these definitions, as written, are included in your policy. These are the definitions directly related to VAWA. You may adjust the formatting to fit your institution policy template.
* Policy Statement - This statement, as written, should be included in the VAWA section of your Clery

Good morning, Clery Team!

As you prepare for our Clery training today at 1:00, please have your institutional Clery policy at hand. We will be discussing the differences/gaps between the Clery Act/Violence Against Women Act regulations and the 2024 Title IX regulations. You will want to refer to your Clery policy as we will be referring to those and making recommendations for updates.

Please find attached an index to all our Clery training modules, including direct links, in both chronological order and topical categories.

Greetings, Clery Team!

Today I learned of a new requirement for Financial Aid audits that are currently occurring on some of our campuses and will impact all institutions in the coming years. As you know, the Clery Act and VAWA Amendments fall under Title IV (federal financial aid) Program Participation Agreement regulations. For the first time, institutions undergoing Financial Aid audits being conducted by the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts (DOAA) are being asked to include documentation supporting the Clery crime and fire statistics included in Annual Security Reports and Fire Safety Reports. It is likely that your Office

Good morning, Clery Team,

I trust you all are safe and sound as we head into summer semester. You should have received an email moments ago cancelling our training session tomorrow. We had planned to talk with you regarding the new Title IX rules and the intersection with Clery/VAWA. We will be having that session in June. I will be available any time after 9:00am tomorrow for office hours. Please reach out via email to let me know if we need to schedule some time.

Greetings, Clery Team!

I trust all are well during this busy, busy finals and commencement season. For those who attended our April training, you may remember hearing UCR or FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program mentioned as a resource that is specifically important for our Clery Coordinators to have at hand when your teams are making crime classification determinations. Daniel Carter and the SAFE Campuses team have provided those resources, along with a myriad of other Clery Act compliance materials, available on the SAFE Campuses website<https://safecampuses.biz/clery-act/clery-act-compliance-guidance/>. I encourage you to bookmark the website for ease of access to all these resources.

Greeting, Clery Team!

I trust everyone is well this beautiful spring day. Since we last met, the U.S. Department of Education released the 2024 Title IX Regulations, causing those in the Title IX and Clery worlds to begin deep analysis and prompting multiple webinars from organization in those spaces. Rest assured that we are engaged in those conversations. The main things I would share with you today are:

I trust all are well after the severe weather we've experienced in the past 24 hours. I have a new resource to share with you today. Please find attached a Clery Compliance Checklist spreadsheet for your use. I left this as an Excel spreadsheet rather than converting it to pdf for you to be able to customize for your institution as desired. The Checklist provides prompts for milestones throughout the calendar year to help ensure you meet key federal Clery Act deadlines, as well as USG submissions deadlines.

Good afternoon, Clery Team,

I am writing to share with you news that was released earlier today. The U.S. Department of Education has levied a negotiated fine of $14M, plus $2M to be expended on program improvements, against Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Not only is this the largest fine ever levied for non-compliance with the Clery Act, but it is also only about $4M less than the total of all previous fines combined. The work you are doing at your campuses is very important, not only for the financial wellbeing of your institutions, but for the safety of your

Greetings, everyone!

I am working with the CCGA Clery Compliance Committee to develop a standard emergency procedures poster for dissemination on our main campus and off-campus instructional site.

As we know, the value of an emergency procedures poster on a college or university campus stems from its ability to raise safety awareness, provide immediate guidance during emergencies, reduce panic, ensure regulatory compliance, facilitate communication, and serve as a training tool for the campus community.

I trust all are well and safe this brisk early evening. Just a few reminders for you. Tomorrow, October 18th is the last day to enter Clery crime statistics in the online portal (Westat). If you haven't already done so, please begin that process first thing Wednesday (tomorrow) morning to ensure you have "locked" your submission well before the portal closes tomorrow night. Additionally, if you haven't done so, please upload a copy of your certificate of completion into Teams ASAP.

Dear Colleagues,

As you may be aware, the U.S. Department of Education delayed the release of the new Title IX regulations until October. Consequently, the USG Sexual Misconduct Policy will be updated later than initially expected. In the interim, attached is guidance regarding sexual misconduct appeals proceedings as prepared by USG Legal Affairs, Title IX and Clery Act officials . Please ensure that your institutional procedures reflect the attached guidance pursuant to 34 CFR 106.45(b)(8)(iii)<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/part-106/section-106.45#p-106.45(b)(8)(iii)>. Additionally, this guidance should be reflected in your 2023 Annual Security Report pursuant to 34 CFR 668.46(k)<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/part-668/subpart-D#p-668.46(k)>.

Dear Colleagues,

As you may recall, Lauren McCluskey, a student-athlete at the University of Utah, was killed on campus on October 22, 2018.

A 90-minute ESPN documentary titled "Listen" details Lauren's life and tragic death.

The documentary underscores victim rights and prevention education requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) as a stark reminder of the reality of dating violence and stalking on campus. Colleges and universities must do more to ensure their responses to intimate partner violence on campus "protect victims' safety and encourage accountability" for abusers, as stated

The idea of promoting a monthly Clery theme for USG institutions has recently crossed my mind.

During September, we observe Campus Safety Awareness Month.
