The Department of Education recently found Arizona State University violated the Clery Act in handling Alayna’s case:

1. ASU unlawfully required Alayna to sign a gag order, which the Education Department has long prohibited in sexual assault cases.
2. ASU failed to provide Alayna clear rationale of the investigation outcome.
3. ASU failed to inform Alayna of her right to appeal ASU’s determination on her case.

Our CAARE proposal includes a Policy Analyst position dedicated to ensuring ASU’s sexual violence prevention efforts, investigations and support services are in compliance with local and federal laws. If implemented as proposed, the CAARE Center can help ensure ASU complies with the Clery Act and avoids future violations of students’ rights. However, ASU compliance ultimately depends on whether President Crow and General Counsel continue to tolerate the mistreatment of students.
