Clery Act

Northern Arizona University complies with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, a federal statute requiring all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to compile crime statistics from their campuses and provide safety information. Disclosures about crime statistics and policy statements are made by October 1 each year in an Annual Security Report and ongoing disclosures about specific crimes and emergencies are made available throughout the year.

The Clery Act requires institutions to disclose four general categories of crime statistics.

  • Criminal Offenses Tab Open

  • Hate Crimes Tab Closed

  • VAWA Offenses Tab Closed

  • Arrests and Referrals Tab Closed

Criminal Offenses Accordion Open

  • Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter
  • Manslaughter by Negligence
  • Sexual Assault – Rape, Fondling, Incest, and Statutory Rape
  • Robbery
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Burglary
  • Motor Vehicle Theft
  • Arson
  • Hazing

Hate Crimes Accordion Closed

A Hate Crime is a criminal offense that manifests evidence that the victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator’s bias against the victim. Bias is an expressed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on actual or perceived race, gender, gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity or national origin.

For Clery Act purposes, Hate Crimes include any of the following offenses that are motivated by bias.

  • Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter
  • Sexual Assault – Rape, Fondling, Incest, and Statutory Rape
  • Robbery
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Burglary
  • Motor Vehicle Theft
  • Arson
  • Larceny-Theft
  • Simple Assault
  • Intimidation
  • Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property

VAWA Offenses Accordion Closed

  • Stalking

Arrests and Referrals Accordion Closed

The number of arrests and the number of persons referred for disciplinary action for the following law violations:

  • Weapons: Carrying, Possessing, Etc.
  • Drug Abuse Violations
  • Liquor Law Violations

 The Clery Act requires that all Clery reportable crimes be identified by geographic location. The definitions for these geographic categories are Clery Act-specific and are the same for every institution regardless of its physical size or configuration.

  • On-Campus Tab Open

  • On-Campus Student Housing Tab Closed

  • Public Property Tab Closed

  • Non-Campus Tab Closed

On-Campus Accordion Open

Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution’s educational purposes, including residence halls; and

Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in paragraph (1) of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).

On-Campus Student Housing Accordion Closed

Any student housing facility that is owned or controlled by the institution, or is located on property that is owned or controlled by the institution, and is within the reasonably contiguous geographic area that makes up the campus is considered an on-campus student housing facility.

Public Property Accordion Closed

All public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

Non-Campus Accordion Closed

Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or

any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.

Northern Arizona University obtains reportable crime statistics associated with its Clery geography by collecting information from a variety of individuals and organizations that Clery considers to be Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). In addition, the University requests crime and arrest statistics from local law enforcement agencies. The crime statistics disclosed in the University’s Annual Security Report are statistics based on reports of alleged criminal incidents. Under Clery, it is not necessary for the crime to have been investigated by the police or a CSA, nor must a finding of guilt or responsibility be made to include the reported crime in NAU’s crime statistics.

For questions regarding CSAs, statistics, reporting, or other Clery related questions, please contact NAU’s Director of Clery Compliance, Alicia Beekman at: alicia.beekman@nau.edu, phone: (928) 523-3611.
