Latest "Campus Watch" Newsletter Now Available On-Line The latest edition of Security On Campus, Inc.'s "Campus Watch" newsletter is now available on-line. This issue profiles the latest recipients of the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award, recent developments from the public policy arena that will affect how colleges handle crime on campus, and a summary of some of the most serious crimes occurring on campuses across the country.
The feature article profiles one family's first hand account of the ordeal they have endured getting the possible murder of their son on the East Tennessee State University campus properly investigated in the face of strong resistance from the school, and local authorities. This issue also features an article on Rape Aggression Defense. To read the latest issue of "Campus Watch" visit http://www.securityoncampus.org/aboutsoc/campuswatch/ on the SOC web site. Student Press Law Center Survey Finds Most Colleges Not Disclosing Campus Court ResultsMost colleges and universities recently surveyed by the Student Press Law Center did not disclose the final results from student disciplinary proceedings dealing with crimes of violence, something that federal law has permitted since 1998. The SPLC found that "less than 20 percent of colleges and universities surveyed... this summer would provide information about students who commit serious crimes on campus that are dealt with in disciplinary proceedings." "These findings clearly demonstrate the need for a law that makes colleges turn over these campus crime records," said S. Daniel Carter the Vice President of Security On Campus. "Leaving disclosure at their discretion means that most schools simply aren't going to disclose this information."
