Clery Act Compliance At BYU
Brigham Young University strives to “provide an environment enlightened by living prophets and sustained by those moral virtues which characterize the life and teachings of the Son of God.” BYU Mission Statement. As part of its efforts to create that environment, BYU works to create a safe and secure campus by complying with the following laws:
- The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act), 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f)
- Disclosure of Fire Safety Standards and Measures, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(i)
- Missing Person Procedures, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(j)
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention, 20 U.S.C. § 1011i(a)(1)

Together, BYU’s compliance with these laws constitutes BYU’s Clery Act Compliance Program.
