Clery Disclosure Information

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) is a federal law that requires all colleges and universities to annually disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The act is named in memory of Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman who was assaulted and murdered in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986. This report has been prepared to meet the requirements of this act. The statistics included in this report are for the three most recent reporting periods, including calendar years 2004, 2005, and 2006.

Safety on the university campus is a natural source of concern for parents, students, and university employees. Education - the business of the University of New Haven - can take place only in an environment in which each student and employee feels safe and secure. UNH recognizes this and employs a number of security measures to protect the members of this community.

Early Warning System

The University's Campus Alert Text System, e2Campus, is used when a situation arises that affects the immediate safety of the campus community or if severe weather conditions exist. The system sends a text message to all subscribers and simultaneously sends an e-mail to their UNH e-mail account. The University strongly encourages all students, faculty, staff and parents to sign up for the free e2campus early warning system. You may sign up by using the following link: http://www.newhaven.edu/campustext.

Crime Alert E-mail

A Crime Alert e-mail is sent to the campus community if a situation arises, on or immediately off campus, that constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat. Students, faculty, and staff receive Crime Alerts through the University's email system.
