The U.S. Department of Education found ASU in violation of federal campus safety laws under the Clery Act involving an alleged on-campus rape a survivor reported to campus police in February 2020, according to documents recently obtained and shared with The State Press.

The Clery Group's report, signed by Clery Act Compliance and Safety Operations Senior Advisor James L. Moore III and sent to the University's associate general counsel, said based on its review, "the Department has determined that the University violated the Clery Act by attempting to place conditions on the participation of the Complainant's advisor and on the Complainant's access to information about the determinations of the disciplinary body."

The Clery Group, part of the DOE responsible for examining annual security reports and complaints, completed its report following a complaint filed in June 2020 by a sexual assault survivor and her counsel, notifying them and the University of its conclusions in April 2021.

"Because of the consequences of a serious compliance failure, the Department strongly recommends" ASU officials reevaluate all campus safety policies and procedures on a regular basis to ensure they reflect current institutional practices and requirements.
