About the Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Statistics Act, a consumer protection law passed in 1990, requires all colleges and universities who receive federal funding to share information about campus crime policies and crime statistics on or around campus. This information is made publicly accessible through the College’s annual security report. This page contains reported crime statistics for Ivy Tech Community College over the last three calendar years. Select the campus from the drop-down menu to view security reports.
