If you believe that your college or university has violated the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the agency charged with implementing it, the U.S. Department of Education, has established a procedure for complaints to be filed and investigated. This is an administrative process and not a legal one therefore while you can use the services of an attorney, that is not required.
While there is not a specific form that the complaint must take, it will aid in the investigation if specific details are provided and they are associated with the specific regulatory violations being alleged.
Security On Campus (SOC) can assist you free of charge with filing a complaint, including forwarding anonymously provided information, if you wish. Please contact SOC toll-free at 1-888-251-7959 or by E-mail at [email protected]
