White Paper: Update on the U.S. Department of Education’s Clery Enforcement Measures
Canopy Programs’ new white paper, “An Update on the U.S. Department of Education’s Clery Enforcement Measures,” provides an overview of the Clery review process and cases involving institutions that were fined for Clery Act violations in 2017.
Despite the change in federal administration, the U.S. Department of Education has continued to aggressively enforce the Clery Act. Specifically, the department issued fines against 10 institutions in 2017 based on program reviews that were conducted in the past several years totaling $800,000, or an average of $80,000 per institution.
The complimentary white paper offers insight into these cases, including:
- A review of the institutional demographics by type and enrollment size
- What caused the program reviews to take place
- An analysis of the length of time for the program reviews
- Which categories of violations resulted in fines
