The law is named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year old Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered in her campus resident hall in 1986. The backlash against unreported crime on numerous campuses across the country led to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Clery Act, signed in 1990, was originally known as the Crimes Awareness and Campus Security Act.
