Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act
(Public Law 101-542)

It is unfortunate that criminal activity occurs on college campuses. The student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act requires campuses nationwide to investigate and make public the nature of crimes, the quantity and how they are investigated.
