In April of 1986, Jeanne Clery, a freshman at Lehigh University was raped and killed in her campus dormitory room. She awoke during the robbery of her dorm room in which her killer permanently silenced her to thwart any efforts of her positivity identifying him. Jeanne's parents, who believed that Lehigh University had failed to share vital information with its students regarding campus safety, campaigned for legislative reform for several years following Jeanne's death.
Their efforts resulted in the passage in 1990 of The Clery Act, a federal law requiring all universities and colleges receiving federal student financial aid programs to report crime statistics, alert campus of imminent dangers, and distribute an Annual Campus Security Report to current and prospective students and employees, or face fines.
