In April 1986, Jeanne Clery’s life tragically ended when another student raped and murdered her in her residence hall room. Alarmed at the lack of transparency around crime and violence on college campuses, Jeanne Clery's parents, Connie and Howard Clery, committed themselves to create enduring change. In 1990, Congress approved the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).
