The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (the "Clery Act"), as amended, requires us to report the number of occurrences on the Barnard campus of specified offenses for the three prior years. These statistics are compiled by the Office of the General Counsel in cooperation with the Office of Public Safety, the Office of Residential Life and Housing, the Office of the Dean of Studies and Dean of the College, and local law enforcement agencies. Campus "Pastoral Counselors" and Campus "Professional Counselors," when acting as such, are not considered to be a campus security authority and are not required to report crimes for inclusion into the annual disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of policy, they are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into the annual crime statistics.
The rulemaking committee defines counselors as:
Pastoral Counselor
An employee of an institution who is associated with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling and who is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.
Professional Counselor
An employee of an institution whose official responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to members of the institution's community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification. When reviewing the statistics required by the Clery Act, please keep in mind that certain crimes, particularly sexual assaults, are under-reported, whether they occur on-campus or elsewhere. There is no college campus, neighborhood, village, town or city that can afford not to confront the issue of rape and sexual assault. At Barnard, all students are encouraged to promptly report instances of sexual assault, and to participate in the various programs and activities concerning personal safety, sexual assault prevention and rape crisis intervention described in this pamphlet and in other campus publications.
Crime Statistics
Crime statistics for Barnard College for the last three years are filed annually with the United States Department of Education and are available for review and below. In addition, the Advisory Committee on Public Safety will provide upon request all campus crime statistics as reported to the United States Department of Education. Requests can be made by contacting the Director of Public Safety at 212-854-3362.
