Clery Crime Report


Campus safety and security are important to our community. Because we value the wellbeing of those on our university campus and around us, and in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, we publish an annual report containing crime statistics, security policies and other related information.

Our Clery Report includes statistics for the previous three years reporting any crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Lenoir-Rhyne Univerity and public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, our campuses in Hickory, Asheville and Columbia.

Clery reports covering the previous year are typically posted by October 1.
