Colleges and universities are committed to maintaining campus environments that are safe, supportive, and responsive so all students can benefit from the widest possible array of educational opportunities. The federal government plays a crucial role in promoting campus safety and student civil rights, primarily through three laws: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which requires crime data disclosure. Collaborations with entities such as the National Institute of Justice and Department of Homeland Security further govern institutional efforts to enhance preparedness and respond to various incidents to maintain a safe learning environment.
