The Clery Act requires colleges that receive federal funding to report certain crimes to the federal government.
The Education Department beefed up enforcement of the law over the last several years, fining the University of California, Berkeley, nearly $2.4 million for Clery violations related to misclassifying crimes. It handed Michigan State University a $4.5 million fine for failures in handling reports of sexual abuse by former athletics doctor Larry Nassar, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing patients.
