New Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting Released

The U.S. Department of Education's new Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting has been released and is available online. The new handbook covers 2008 amendments to the Jeanne Clery Act that expanded hate crime reporting, and added new emergency response and missing student guidelines. It also covers new campus fire safety reporting requirements. This edition replaces the original 2005 Handbook for Campus Crime Reporting.

To download a copy of the new Handbook go to http://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/handbook-2.pdf.
