Crime Statistics as reported to the U.S. Department of Education
Bethany College Annual Security Report
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 made some major changes to the Campus Securities Act of 1990. Some of these changes include: adding manslaughter and arson to the list of crimes that colleges must report each year; requiring colleges to keep statistics on violent crimes directed at individuals because of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability; defining further areas that colleges are responsible for when reporting campus crimes; allowing colleges to release public information on any student who has admitted or been found guilty of committing a violent crime or a non-violent sexual offense and any sanction imposed by the institution; and allowing colleges to inform the parents or legal guardians of students under 21 who have violated laws on the use or possession of alcohol or drugs.
The figures provided in this report are based on the reporting requirements of the Department of Education. The Clery Act sets forth how crimes perpetrated by students of the institution are tracked (both on and off campus) and reported to various constituencies including students and employees of the educational institution. |
