20 The Clery Act (20 U.S.C (f)) Jeanne Clery was a freshman at Lehigh University in 1986 when she was raped and murdered in her dormitory by a fellow student. Her parents responded by igniting federal legislation requiring the disclosure of crimes that take place on university campuses across the country. All universities that accept federal funds through Title IV of the Higher Education Act must comply with the Clery Act.

21 Timely Warning & Immediate Notification MSU will issue timely warnings to the campus community in the event of violent crimes or emergencies which represent a serious or continuing threat to the campus. The University Police Department (UPD) will quickly decide whether to issue a timely warning and/or immediate notification after reviewing the following factors: Nature of the Crime MSU Timely Warning and Emergency Notification Policy Continuing Danger to Campus Possible Risk of Compromising Law Enforcement Efforts

22 MSU Alert System 1. MSU Alert -based system Timely Warning This will be sent to all current students, staff and employee s montana.edu accounts 2.
