The Department of Education is reviewing Brown University to determine if it violated the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act following reports of inadequate security and delayed emergency notifications after a shooting on campus.
The Department's Office of Federal Student Aid will determine if Brown violated the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, that requires institutions of higher education to meet certain campus safety and security-related requirements as a condition of receiving federal student aid.
According to the release, Brown's campus surveillance and security system may not have been to standard. Students and staff reported the university's emergency notifications about the active shooter were also delayed. “After two students were horrifically murdered at Brown University when a shooter opened fire in a campus building, the Department is initiating a review of Brown to determine if it has upheld its obligation under the law to vigilantly maintain campus security,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Students deserve to feel safe at school, and every university across this nation must protect their students and be equipped with adequate resources to aid law enforcement.
