The CLERY Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses.
The daily crime log is for the sole purpose of recording alleged criminal incidents that are reported to Campus Security. It is not to be a catch-all incident log. (Example: if a student reports losing her wallet in the parking lot behind a dorm, it is not a criminal incident, and there is no requirement to record it in the log).
Lee University is not required to update the disposition of a crime log entry after 60 days have passed. This means 60 days after the entry was made in the log, not 60 days after the crime occurred.
The crime log for the most recent 60-day period must be open to public inspection, upon request, during normal business hours. Anyone may ask to see the log, whether or not they are associated with Lee University. Any portion of the log that is older than 60 days must be made available within two business days of a request for public inspection. Lee University must provide students and employees with a description of the log, noting its location and availability.
Crime logs must be kept for three years following the publication of the last annual security report to which they apply (in effect, seven years). The crime log itself is not submitted to ED, although Campus Security must produce it during an audit or review.
