Clery Act Liaisons
All campus units contribute to Clery Act compliance
Each UIC college and major administrative unit has a designated point of contact for Clery Act compliance matters, called a Clery Act Liaison. UIC relies on Clery Act Liaisons to accomplish a few things that we need to comply with the Clery Act. Namely, in order to comply with the Clery Act, UIC must identify mandatory crime reporters (from whom UIC collects crime reports) and define its Clery geography (the locations on which UIC is required to disclose crimes). Liaisons help to coordinate college- and unit-level information-sharing that enables the university to comply with these critical elements of the law.

Clery Act Liaisons are responsible for:
- Identifying Clery Act mandatory crime reporters within their college or major administrative unit.
- Registering college- or unit-level Clery geography, including two types of “noncampus” geography:
- University-sponsored, overnight student trips and
- Off-campus properties controlled by the college/unit and used for student activities

What is the Clery Act?
What is the Clery Act?
The Clery Act refers to the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to report campus crime data, support victims of violence, and publicly outline the policies and procedures they have put into place to improve campus safety.

Are Clery Act Liaisons the same as Clery mandatory crime reporters (i.e., Campus Security Authorities)?
There is a difference between a Clery Act Liaison and a Campus Security Authority (CSA). There are only ~40 Clery Act Liaisons at UIC, who are identified by their unit’s dean or vice chancellor, and their role is to liaise between their college/unit to support the university’s Clery Act compliance program. Whereas ~10% of UIC employees are considered CSAs, who are identified by their college/unit’s Clery Act Liaison, and a CSA’s role is to report campus crime to UIC Police.
