What is the annual requirement for the distribution of the ASR?

The annual requirement for the distribution of the Annual Security Report (ASR) is that it must be made available to current and prospective students and employees. This requirement ensures that all individuals associated with the institution have access to critical safety information, including crime statistics and policies related to campus safety and security. The Clery Act mandates that institutions not only prepare the ASR but also actively disseminate it to current students and employees and ensure that prospective students and employees can obtain it easily, often through the institution's website or upon request.

The choice that mentions posting it on the institution's website is part of compliance but does not encompass the full requirement since it must also be shared directly with current and prospective individuals. Distributing it only to law enforcement does not fulfill the obligation toward the larger campus community. Additionally, restricting distribution solely to the local community overlooks the inclusion of current and prospective students and employees who also need access to this essential information.
