Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering how the new Clery specifications are affecting your work/how you might be adapting? In particular I'm talking about Chapter 4-2, which deals with Campus Security Authorities. 

"Examples of individuals (outside of a police or security department) who generally meet the criteria for being campus security authorities include: 

• victim advocates or others who are responsible for providing victims with advocacy services, such as assisting with housing relocation, disciplinary action or court cases, etc.; 

• members of a sexual assault response team (SART) or other sexual assault advocates"

The link to the full handbook is here: https://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/handbook.pdf?utm_content=27b8b24fb4bba127bdc7f47238b4676c&utm_campaign=Just%20Released%21%20Updated%20Clery%20Handbook&utm_source=Robly.com&utm_medium=email

I'd love to hear how your institution is interpreting this. I am sure many of us who are confidential advocates have concerns about reporting"just  numbers", especially if those numbers might develop into timely notices.

Liz
