How can students access the ASR?

Students can access the Annual Security Report (ASR) because the Clery Act mandates that institutions make this document readily available to their campus community. Specifically, schools are required to post the ASR on their official website to ensure students and prospective students can easily find and review it. Additionally, institutions must notify students about the availability of the ASR, which helps increase awareness of campus safety and security protocols.

This accessibility is crucial, as the ASR contains important information regarding crime statistics, security policies, and resources for victims of crime, thereby empowering students to make informed decisions about their safety on campus. Making the ASR accessible online and communicating its availability aligns with the goals of transparency and accountability in campus safety measures.
