Choosing a postsecondary institution is a major decision for students and their families. Along with academic, financial and geographic considerations, the issue of campus safety is a vital concern. In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II of Public Law 101–542), which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This act required all postsecondary institutions participating in Title IV student financial aid programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was amended in 1992, 1998 and 2000. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in memory of a student who was slain in her residence hall room in 1986.
The Clery Act requires higher education institutions to give timely warnings of crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students or employees and to make public their campus security policies. It also requires that crime data are collected, reported and disseminated to the campus community and are also submitted to the Department of Education. The act is intended to provide students and their families, as higher education consumers, with accurate, complete and timely information about safety on campus so that they can make informed decisions.

Security & Crime Reporting Information
The Office of Campus Safety compiles the Clery Act data and each year posts the Clery Act Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (PDF), as required by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Crime Statistics Act. The current report contains crime statistics and reporting information for crimes occurring on or near the University of Findlay campus between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022. The University of Findlay's Annual Security Report combines statistics from the Main Campus, English Farm, Western Farm, and All Hazards Training Center into the annual report.
