Rinse and Repeat.
If you are a college student, staff member, community member living near a college campus, parent, a high school student excited about the prospect of enrolling in higher education classes, you have consumer rights.
Many pay very high tuitions and expect nothing from the staff at institutions of higher learning. Cancelled classes are fun, but cost you money each time. Crimes on campus are always costly. Reputations, lawsuits, fines, injuries, deaths: what you do not know about your college campus could kill you.
Crimes on or near campus and you were not notified? You did not consider campus safety when applying? You think the CK murder is a great conspiracy and UVU is not responsible for campus safety, only CK's team of private security needed to be proactive?
Think and think again.
Colleges who did not think about some aspects of the Clery Act have reputations ruined or tarnished and cost you money. Where do you think the fine money comes from or the money to defend and settle lawsuits?
You may want to learn what killed Jeanne Clery in 1986. You also may not want to prop open doors for easy access to anyone. ( We propped open doors in the the 1970's also.)
This video explains information about Jeanne Clery. The parents of Jeanne Clery advocated for legal changes for campus safety and also filed a lawsuit against Lehigh University. Their settlement per information was not made public.

The lawsuit against UVU is not unusal, it is the norm.

In November 2026, the public can participate in revisions via commentary to The Clery Act. This is codified law. The Clery Act is not just about notifications. It is binding legal requirements for colleges which receive federal money.

Let CK's death on a college campus be a starting point for you. Regardless of the "who dun it" scenarios, the alleged shooter acting alone or "CO and company" take on his death on September 10, 2025, a college campus allowed easy access to a rooftop which, per their info submitted for The Clery Act for the years preceeding 2025, the rooftops "were not accessable." Somebody skipped a beat, and CK's heart stopped beating as a result of a gun shot from a rooftop at UVU.
ASK about The Clery Act on your campus. What you do know could save a life.
