Ending crime on campus


Federal Department of Education requires colleges and universities report crime on campus.

I ran across the Clery Act while reading a story on UT-Arlington fined by DOE for underreporting crime.

After searches:

“The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Security Statistics Act is the landmark federal law, originally known as the Campus Security Act, that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The law is tied to an institution's participation in federal student financial aid programs and it applies to most institutions of higher education both public and private. The Act is enforced by the United States Department of Education.”

Of course the law “is tied to an institution’s participation in federal student financial aid programs.” That’s how the federal government influences what happens at colleges and universities. Whoever controls the money controls everything.

Golly, gee, it’s a great law! So says http://clerycenter.org/summary-jeanne-clery-act

“Jeanne Clery Act Training at Oklahoma Christian University...what a great group!”

“We are training in Lynchburg, Virginia and Oklahoma this week! Join us for one of our future events!”

There is training Aug. 8-9 in Nashville, Tenn., for only $445.

Clery Center for Security On Campus does most training.

I searched “who funds clery center for security on campus” but did not get any good hits. So – Who funds the center? Campus crime seminars and training programs are part of the government industry. Each time the federal Congress passes a new law, an industry is created.

Here’s an idea that will stop attacks on campus: Somebody is tried and found guilty of on-campus murder, rape, intentional manslaughter or similar crime, he/she is taken to an open area near the administrative center, where all students gather. The college/university president reads charge and verdict. Guilty party kneels and is executed with a single pistol shot to the back of the head. Doesn’t matter whether the executed is a student; the only consideration is that the crime occurred on campus.
