General Policies and Annual Security Report (ASR) The Annual Security Report (ASR) is a compilation and disclosure of a school's campus crime statistics for the previous three calendar years. In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Title II of Public Law 101-542), which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This act required all postsecondary institutions participating in HEA's Title IV student financial assistance programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was amended in 1992,1998, 2000 and 2008. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in memory of a student who was slain in her dorm room in 1986. It is generally referred to as the Clery Act and is in section 485(f) of the HEA. Pacific College publishes its ASR online at httls:://www pacific -college edu/disclosure/clerk, or a paper copy of the ASR is available upon request, free of charge, from the Service Desk of the main campus.
