Department Of Education To Review Marshall University's Crime Reporting
WEST VIRGINIA....
The U.S. Department of Education will perform a full Clery Act review into Marshall University's compliance with a federal law that requires colleges to report campus crimes to the public. Under Clery, universities must post detailed crime statistics, release an Annual Security Report on police procedures and keep a log of incidents reported to campus police. An initial inquiry was conducted last week after Marshall missed an October 1st deadline to report crime statistics and failed to notify students about an alleged gang rape on campus in September. The school's investigation of the alleged rape was later closed because of lack of evidence.
