Head Coaches, Assistants Must Serve as 'Campus Security Authorities'
New head coaching agreements at universities specifically reference the Clery Act, a federal statute requiring schools to collect information on alleged crimes and make timely warnings of ones that suggest an ongoing threat.
The statute, referenced in agreements made in the past year by Colorado, Tennessee and Northern Illinois, was initially enacted because campus crimes were often going unreported, information that would be of interest to current and potential students and their families.
